your baby to bed? day. This period of time allows them to develop, so provide for all the favourable conditions to help it get a healthy sleep. Beware of bed linen that is too big and choose a fi rm mattress that is the exact size of the bed. Lay your child on its back and not on its stomach. Never use a duvet before 36 months If you choose a cot or a similar equipment involving horizontal gaps, make sure that the gap is narrow enough to prevent your child from getting its head stuck in-between (EU standard: 45 to 65 mm) Do not leave animals in the room where the baby sleeps. Remove any large plush toys from the bed. Avoid necklaces or chains that may strangle the child while it is sleeping. Do not leave a mobile within the baby's reach overnight Place the bouncer or the Moses basket on the fl oor, never on a piece of furniture Always use two hands to hold the Moses basket so that one of the handles doesn't slip from your hand. |
