Safer sleep for babies advice
The safest place for a baby to sleep is in their own clear, flat, separate sleep space (e.g. a cot or Moses basket) in the same room as you.
- Lie baby on their back
- Keep the cot clear
- Use a firm, flat, waterproof mattress
- Keep baby smoke-free
- Avoid baby getting too hot
- Sleep baby in the same room as you for at least the first 6 months
