Tip over prevention tools
Tip 1: Keep your baby sleeping on his/her back. It is not recommended to let your baby sleep on his/her stomach to avoid pressure on the breathing.
Tip 2: Be sure to remove any unnecessary items in the cot, such as extra bedding, toys, soft toys and others, since these items may hinder your baby's breathing.
Tip 3: Make sure your baby sleeps in the cot. It is not recommended to let babies sleep with adults because adult beds have sheets, duvets and other fluffy fabrics, which may hinder the baby's normal breathing function.
Tip 4: The temperature of babies is higher than that of children and adults, so a sleeping bag is enough to keep them warm, which also avoids fabrics that might cover the face. Make sure to expose the baby's arms so that he can move freely.
