NEVER fall asleep with your baby after drinking alcohol or taking drugs - make sure they're in a cot, crib or Moses basket - never on a sofa or chair! @CSAP_LSAB youtube.com/watch?v=ZkMY7V…

Young babies are at risk of breathing difficulties if kept upright in car seats for an extended period #SaferSleep @CSAP_LSAB

Visiting relatives over the holidays? Think! Where is your baby going to sleep? Car seats keep babies safe while travelling, they are not a sleeping place. #SaferSleep @CSAP_LSAB

Many sleep bags have a minimum weight (around 4kg/9lb) that a baby should be before use. This isn't always displayed clearly, so make sure you check the manufacturer's recommendations before purchasing and check that it fits your baby well.

During the cold winter months, families may be worried about keeping their baby warm enough. It’s important that babies are a comfortable temperature - not too hot or too cold. A room temperature of 16-20°C is advised. For more information, please visit  lullabytrust.org.uk
