To reduce the risk of cot death:
[customlist icon=”ic-blue6″]
- Place your baby on the back to sleep
- Cut smoking in pregnancy – fathers too!
- Do not let anyone smoke in the same room as your baby
- Do not let your baby get too hot
- Keep your baby’s head uncovered – place your baby with feet to the foot of the cot, to prevent wriggling down under the covers
- If your baby is unwell, seek medical advice promptly
[/customlist]
