10 Safe Sleep Tips for Babies

Newborns and Infants Sleep Safety

Newborns and Infants spend a lot of time in bed, mostly sleeping, so it is important that their sleeping area is comfortable and safe. Any loose object which is potentially dangerous while babies are asleep should be eliminated. Premature and low birth weight babies are most at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep related unfortunate deaths. 

Pediatric sleep experts have pointed out quite a few hazards when babies are sleeping. They suggest a few things which can help reduce the risk of sleep related deaths. Babies may get into dangerous situations while sleeping in an unsafe sleep environment. Experts have identified a few things/rules can help reduce the risk of cot death and injuries.

• Follow the ABC rule, alone on her back in crib. Place your baby on their back to sleep, not on the tummy or side.
• Co-sleeping may be dangerous, particularly if you’ve been on alcohol or if you’re a smoker.
• Avoid alcohol and smoke during pregnancy and post delivery that means keeping baby smoke free before birth and after.
• Place her in a cot in the room with you for first 6 months. Do not smoke or let anyone smoke in the same room as your baby.
• Do not tempt to fall asleep with your newborn on a couch while watching TV.
• Don’t let your baby get overheat. Always dress your baby in layers instead of a heavy piece of clothing. It is always easy to add or remove one in case baby feels uneasy.
• Keep your baby’s head and face uncovered. Don’t use hooded sleepwear. Tuck Baby blanket tightly in no higher than their chest. It is advisable to use a well-fitted baby sleep sack which is a type of wearable blanket as a safety measure.
• Breastfeed your baby. Studies show that breastfed babies are less likely to have SIDs or breathing issues.  

 Place your baby on their back to sleep from the beginning, for both naps and bedtime. This will cut the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It’s unsafe for babies to sleep on their tummy or sides as on their backs. Healthy babies placed on their backs in a crib with no loose bedding are less likely to choke.

Review: Winter Baby Sleeping Bag

Baby deedee sleep nest review as received from our happy customer Clara...

There is nothing like a warm well fitted snuggle bag in winter. Babies love to snuggle down in a cozy sleeping bag. Small babies roll and kick a lot only to wake up cold multiple times. They need to be comforted by their parents to fall back asleep. A baby sleeping bag can be a sleep saver here as it helps them feel comfortable and secure in their cribs.  As it can’t be kicked away your baby stays safe and covered through the night. I tried a few brands but my search for a cozy and secure sleeping bag was an ongoing mission.

Getting ready for bed in her cozy sleeping bag

I was restlessly searching for something to replace my thin micro fleece sleeping bag and when I saw Baby Deedee Sleep Nest, I knew this was what I wanted for my little one. It is so much warmer and better that other version we were using.  It is a baby wearable blanket bag with right amount of batting, just like my own cozy comforter. It is a unique duvet style baby wearable blanket with quick snap at shoulders to zip your baby to sleep in cinch.

• Quilted material is warmer than micro fleece without being too heavy
• Made of cotton layers. Soft Indian cotton feels nice and kind to baby’s skin 
• Have large shoulder snaps so no more struggling to put baby’s arms through the armholes
• Front zip closure with YKK big reversible zipper (extra quite). Glow and dark zipper for quick diaper change and night feedings is available with one model
• High quality material holds up well in the wash. Machine washable
