When wearing a sling or baby-carrier, you should always keep in mind the TICKS guidelines:
✔️ Tight
✔️ In view at all times
✔️ Close enough to kiss
✔️ Keep chin off the chest
✔️ Supported back
@rospacharity also have useful advice on using slings and baby-carriers.
At this time of year you may be tempted to wrap your baby up warm when they're sleeping. However, it’s important they don't overheat.
Firmly tucked in sheets and blankets (not above shoulder height) or baby sleep bags are safe for them to sleep in. Avoid bulky bedding/duvets.
If you’re visiting family or friends this Christmas, you might need to bring something with you for baby to sleep in. For babies that usually sleep in a cot or Moses basket, a travel cot is a great option when travelling.
