✋ Loose bedding can BLOCK a baby’s airway - 🤏 Tummy sleeping can put pressure on a baby’s chest and NARROW their airway - 🤲 Sleeping in a sitting position can FOLD a baby’s airway - Sleeping on their back, in a firm, flat, clear space can help keep a baby’s airway open.

Sleeping on a firm, flat mattress helps to keep your baby’s airway (breathing tube) open and clear. When we say ‘firm, flat mattress’, we mean: - 📐 No cushioned, soft or raised areas 📐 Baby’s head can’t sink in more than a few millimetres 📐 Doesn’t sag 📐 Doesn’t slope or tilt

We recommend bed-sharing families have a back-up sleep space such as a cot or Moses basket. This is because family circumstances can change from sleep to sleep, making co-sleeping dangerous. More info here: bit.ly/3IYZcXK #SaferSleepWeek
