Safer sleep in winter. The weather is colling down now and winter can be a challenging time for families. With the cost of living crisis and worries about heating our homes, it’s understandable to worry about keeping your baby warm. The recommended room temperature for a baby’s sleep space is 16 – 20°C. This can be harder to maintain when it’s cold outside.

While it can be tempting to wrap your baby up to keep them warm and cosy, it’s important to remember that it’s possible for them to overheat, and this increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In fact, research has shown that babies are safer when they’re a little bit cooler, rather than too hot.

Don’t forget your daily dose of vitamin D this winter!
Everyone should take a vitamin D supplement during the colder months — but did you know some babies and young children need it all year round?
👶 Babies (birth to 1 year) need 8.5–10 micrograms daily, if they are:
- Breastfed
- Formula-fed but drinking less than 500ml of formula a day
🧒 Children aged 1–4 years need 10 micrograms daily all year.
💡 Families eligible for the Healthy Start scheme can get free vitamin D supplements. Find out more 👉 https://www.healthystart.nhs.uk/getting-vitamins/
