Reduce the risk of cot death (SIDS)

This key publication, produced jointly by FSID and the Department of Health, outlines the key steps parents can take to reduce the risk of cot death including the advice to:

Place your baby on the back to sleep
Cut smoking in pregnancy - fathers too!
Do not let anyone smoke in the same room as your baby
Do not let your baby get too hot (or too cold)
Keep baby’ s head uncovered - place your baby with their feet to the foot of the cot
The safest place for your baby to sleep is in a cot in a room with you for the first six months
Do not share a bed with your baby if you have been drinking alcohol, take drugs or if you are a smoker
If your baby is unwell, seek medical advice promptly
Settling your baby to sleep (day and night) with a dummy can reduce the risk of cot death, even if the dummy falls out while your baby is asleep.
