Baby sleep aid warning

A COT death charity have warned that some popular sleeping products could put babies at risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

The Lullaby Trust said items such as cushioned sleeping pods, nests, cot bumpers, pillows, duvets and anything that wedges a baby in place do not conform to safer sleep guidelines and can pose a risk to infants under 12 months.

A spokesman said: “We have produced a product guide to help parents.”
