Your baby should sleep in the same room as you, day and night, for at least the first six months to help reduce the risk of SIDS. It’s fine to nip to the loo or make a quick cuppa - just keep your baby close and in the same room as much as possible.

Always put your baby to sleep on their back with their feet to the foot of the cot or Moses basket. Make sure to keep baby’s head and face uncovered and make sure they don’t get too hot. For more information, please visit lullabytrust.org.uk

Give your baby a clear, flat, separate sleep space, such as a cot or Moses basket, in the same room as you both day and night. Never fall asleep with baby on a sofa or chair; this can increase the risk of death by 50%. For more information, please visit lullabytrust.org.uk
