We have noticed an increase in the sale of eye masks for infants to aid sleeping... These products should NOT be sold or used with babies or young children as they can be dangerous. PLS SHARE @LullabyTrust @CAPTcharity @RoSPA #SafetyFirst

I wish that I was in a position to apply for this. The timing isn't right for me but I must know some other midwives who might be interested?

If your baby starts to roll in their cot, you can gently roll them onto their back but donโ€™t feel you need to stay awake watching them throughout the night. Once your baby can roll from their back to front and back again they can be left to find their own sleeping position.
