👶 A baby’s airway – sometimes called their “Tube of Life” – is small and delicate.

It can easily block, narrow or fold, which may make it harder for a baby to breathe. That’s why creating a safe sleep environment is so important during the first year of life.

During Safer Sleep Week, The Lullaby Trust is highlighting how protecting a baby’s vulnerable airway can help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Some baby products sold online or in shops may look cosy but do not follow safer sleep guidance, so it’s important for parents to know what is recommended and what to avoid.

💤 Safer sleep basics:
✔️ Always place baby on their back to sleep
✔️ Use a firm, flat mattress in a clear sleep space
✔️ Avoid products that don’t comply with safer sleep guidance

✅ Remember: Easy to breathe, safer to sleep.

ℹ️ Luton parents-to-be and families with babies under 3 months can join our FREE online “Keeping Baby Safe” session to learn more about safer sleep and baby product safety, helping parents make informed choices.

😴 It’s Safer Sleep Week – We are supporting The Lullaby Trust and sharing top tips to help protect your baby for all sleeps day and night.

If you’re expecting a baby or caring for a little one under 12 months, creating a safe sleep space is one of the most important things you can do.

Not everything sold for babies is recommended for sleep. Some products may look cosy or convenient but don’t follow safer sleep guidance.

For trusted advice, follow guidance from the The Lullaby Trust – the UK’s leading authority on safer sleep for babies.

✔️ Always place baby on their back to sleep
✔️ Use a firm, flat mattress in a clear sleep space
✔️ Avoid products that do not comply with safer sleep guidance

Learning what is safe – and what to avoid – helps parents make informed choices for their baby.
