SAFE SLEEP IN COLD WEATHER ⛄️ ❄️

Keeping your baby warm and safe in winter can be a tricky process, especially in climates that can be a summers day one minute and then blowing a hoolie the next!!

Winter can be a challenging time for families aswell. 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.

Use these guidelines from the Lullaby Trust to help keep your baby safe and cosy 🤍

When safer sleeping for your baby in the winter, it's important not to use too many layers which may increase the risk of SIDS...
