In more detail
Use a firm mattress that allows your child to breathe freely and stay at the right temperature.
Mattresses made of polyurethane (such as cold foam) are nice and firm and also ensure good air permeability and rapid moisture transport. If you combine this with the air permeable AeroSleep mattress protector, you immediately have a safe sleeping combination for your little one.
Tip! A SafeSleep fitted sheet over the mattress protector will always guarantee safe breathing and good heat regulation.
The safest sleeping position for a baby is on his or her back
If your baby rolls over, you can always count on the mattress protector with AeroSleep technology that lets your little one breathe freely.
Position your baby by the bottom edge of the mattress, with his or her feet near the foot end of the bed.
This will stop your little one from bumping his or her head and from sliding down.
Use a sleeping bag, or make sure the sheet is only tucked in at the bottom end.
A sleeping bag regulates heat and makes it harder for your little one to roll over. If your baby tends to be a bit restless during his or her sleep, the Puckababy Piep is a safe alternative to swaddling. Your little one will recognise the secure feeling of being inside mummy's tummy and will settle down more quickly. Your baby will also sleep longer because he or she will not wake up after any uncontrolled movements.
If you still prefer to use a sheet or blanket, only cover the bottom end and tuck the sheet firmly under the mattress. This will stop your baby from sliding down under the sheet or blanket.
