WARNING: Baby sleep pillows can be deadly

These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or as somewhere for a baby to be left unsupervised. But this can cause suffocation or overheating, and your baby might even die.

Despite what some online product listings suggest, pillows are not recommended for babies until they are at least 12 months old. The safest place for your baby to sleep is on a clear, firm, flat surface.

Do you use a baby sleep pillow? Or perhaps you know someone who does?

Please STOP.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued a Safety Alert today warning parents and carers to stop using these products for babies under one.

These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or for a baby to be placed unsupervised. But doing so can cause suffocation or overheating, which can lead to serious injury in babies, including death.

Despite what some online product listings suggest, pillows are not recommended for babies until they are at least 12 months old.

The safest place for your baby to sleep is on a clear, firm, flat surface.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.
