Baby cot
There must be no clutter!
A safe sleeping environment is really important for small babies.
Because if you are not careful, a quilt and a piece of clothing can be dangerous for the baby.
All parents are asked to remember:
Never leave your child alone in bed.
Never put clothes, quilts, toys, blankets on your child's crib.
Because these have cost some children their lives.
The safest sleeping environment for small babies is to sleep in their crib in a sleeping bag.
Do not blanket your baby.
Do not cover your baby.
Do not cover your baby with a quilt.
You can wear sleeping bags and covers for your baby (the baby will turn over and can't cover or swaddle it), because newborns (especially within 4 months) have strong legs and feet, but their arms are weak, and the baby especially likes to raise his hands to sleep, once the quilt or clothes are kicked to the child's mouth and nose, unable to break free, it is easy to suffocate newborns.
Be sure not to take chances, once the child has an accident really regret for a lifetime.
If you must cover the quilt, please also make sure not to cover it above your shoulders and tuck the quilt so that your baby does not wave his hands to slide the quilt up.

Make sure your baby's sleep is safe
There are 3 important points to keep in mind!
First: Give your baby a safe sleeping environment
The safest environment for babies is to sleep in a crib in a different bed from Mom and Dad, and there should be no clutter on the bed.
●For children under 1 year old, there is no need for a mattress on the mattress, just a suitable sheet.
● Remove toys, pillows, blankets, and clothes from the crib, and if you want to use blankets for your baby, make sure that all edges of the blanket are tucked under the mattress and are not too slippery.
●At the same time, you must not cover your arms when you cover it, the baby likes to raise his hand and wave, and if he is not careful, the blanket will cover the baby's head.
Second: Don't let your baby get too hot (or too cold)
Babies regulate their body temperature mainly through the head of the face, and the best way to prevent overheating is to let them lie flat with their head and face uncovered.
●Check your baby to make sure it's not too hot. Your baby's torso should be warm, and if your baby is sweating or his face is red, remove some bedding. If your baby's hands or feet feel cold, don't worry. This is normal.
● Babies should never sleep with a hot water bottle or electric blanket. Do not go near radiators, heaters, or fire, and do not sleep directly in the sun.
●Keep your child's respiratory system such as the mouth and nose unobstructed, and it is best not to cover too many bedding when sleeping. Do not let the baby sleep or block his mouth and nose with a quilt, and the mother should not covet the convenience of breastfeeding, hold the child in her arms to sleep, and do not let the baby sleep with the nipple in his mouth.
● Do not wrap your baby's head too hot. Because most of the baby's body temperature will dissipate heat from the head, if there is too much clothing, it will affect the heat dissipation.
Third: Sleep safety tips
●Choose a suitable hard mattress for your baby. The baby's mattress must be hard, the hard mattress can stay as it is when the baby lies down, and there will be no stay, while the soft mattress once dented will increase the risk of suffocation.
●The baby's sleeping environment should be smoke-free. Exposure to secondhand smoke increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, so be sure not to smoke in the room where your baby sleeps.
● These types of people should not sleep with small babies. Parents who drink heavily and take psychotropic drugs, older siblings, and adults who sleep deeply.
●Wear a sleeping bag for your baby. If it is winter, do not use a thick down jacket or heavy blanket to keep your child warm, it is safest to use a suitable sleeping bag for your child.
●The sleeping temperature should be appropriate. If you lower the temperature in summer, increase the temperature in winter, it is better to control the room temperature at about 24-26 degrees, and do not blow directly at the baby with fans and other equipment.
Finally, the pregnant mother emphasized again:
Never leave your child alone in bed.
Never put clothes, quilts, toys, blankets on your child's crib.
Never sleep between mom and dad with your children.
The baby's safe sleeping position and safe sleeping environment need to be kept in mind by parents at all times, and even a trace of negligence will not work!
