The safest place for your baby to sleep is on their own sleep surface, in the same room as you, for at least the first six months. A Moses basket or cot is a safe place for a baby to sleep. You should use a firm and flat mattress that is protected by a waterproof cover. This will help keep the mattress clean and dry, as the cover can be wiped down. Make sure your baby’s mattress is in good condition and that it fits the Moses basket or cot properly. It can be common to use a second-hand mattress either from friends and family, or from your previous children. There is some research that found an increased chance of SIDS when using a second-hand mattress although the link is not yet proven. To help reduce this risk, if you are using a second-hand mattress make sure the mattress you choose was previously completely protected by a waterproof cover, and then use one for your baby as well. The mattress should also still be firm and flat to keep your baby sleeping safely. Firmly tucked in sheets and blankets (not above shoulder height) or a baby sleeping bag are safe for a baby to sleep in.
Be sure to remove any soft toys from the cot before each sleep period. Sleep your baby in the feet-to-foot position and avoid using soft or bulky bedding such as quilts, pillows and duvets. Pillow use alone has been shown to increase the chance of SIDS occurring by up to 2.5 times, so it may be helpful to talk to one of our helpline advisers if you were thinking of using one with your baby due to concerns for plagiocephaly (or ‘flat head syndrome’). There are techniques you can use that could help plagiocephaly which will not increase the risk of SIDS. Cot bumpers can pose the risk of an accident to your baby once they begin to roll and move about the cot. There have been a number of cases in the UK and abroad where infants have become entangled in the ties and material, or fallen from pulling themselves up on the bumpers. A simple mattress in your cot with no loose bedding or bumpers is the safest sleeping place for a baby.Innovative new crib mattress from Newton is washable and 100% recyclable!
Newton has created a 100% breathable, washable and recyclable crib mattress, and according to the company, this was no small feat. Newton spent years of development on their now patented core material that allows you to clean your mattress from the inside out. And the unique cover design was selected for its breathability, comfort and washability as well. This is all very good news, especially considering that your little one will spend 70% of his/her time on his/her crib mattress. Keep reading to learn more about this innovative new baby mattress. The Newton mattress is made with unique, eco-friendly and super safe materials. The mattress is made with an innovative core material called Wovenaire and surrounded by a breathable spacer fabric cover. The patented Wovenaire core, has a web-like construction, and is 90% air by volume. Because it’s light and airy it helps to reduce baby overheating and is as comfortable as a cloud, made of 100% recyclable food-grade polymer.
Unlike foam and latex, these materials are completely safe, hypo-allergenic and won’t off-gas or leach chemicals. Newton’s cozy, breathable cover is made of two layers of three-dimensional spacer material quilted together in an attractive cloud pattern to create tiny pillows of air. The material is 100% polyester so you can zip the cover off for easy cleaning. To reduce synthetics in the mattress, neither the Wovenaire core nor the cover of the mattress are waterproof, but both are water resistant. This is one mattress that’s easy to clean. The cover is machine washable with cold water and a mild detergent on a gentle cycle, then air dry or tumble dry on a very low heat. The Wovenaire core can be hand washed in the shower or bathtub with a mild soap and cold water, then left to air dry. That’s clean sleeping from the inside out!
