The government has published new, evidence‑informed guidance to help parents of under 5s navigate screen time, offering practical advice to support informed choices to help little brains develop healthy screen habits.

For babies and toddlers under 2, avoid screens, except for shared family activities that encourage bonding and interaction. For 2–5s, try to keep it to no more than an hour a day - less where possible. Choose slow-paced content with simple stories and clear speech,
As fast-paced, over-stimulating social media-style videos may affect how young children learn to concentrate, it’s best to avoid them.

Keep mealtimes and bedrooms screen-free, and try swapping screens for reading, play, and conversation. Young children copy your habits, so try to limit your own screen use
around them. An important point to remember is that screens shouldn’t replace a young child’s sleep, physical activity, play or quality time.

Start in Life website.

A clear cot is the safest cot! That means no toys, pillows, duvets or cot bumpers.

Babies don’t need lots of (often expensive) products to sleep safely. They just need the basics; the baby necessities.

There are just a few items that we recommend – the baby necessities:

- Cot or Moses basket
- Portable sleep space such as a travel cot, carry cot or Moses basket
- Firm, flat, waterproof mattress
- Sleeping bag or sheets and a lightweight blanket
- Room thermometer
- Car seat – this is not intended for sleeping when not travelling, but is essential for safer travel.

When it comes to safer sleep, it’s all about keeping it simple to keep it safe. 👉 https://bit.ly/4s9PlUj

(Note: All of our safer sleep guidance primarily relates to reducing the risk of SIDS which looks at babies up to 12 months old).
