It is advised to put your little one to sleep in their own safe sleeping space but in the same room as an adult caregiver for the first six to 12 months. A large study of evidence from across Europe found that the risk of sudden infant death was significantly reduced when the infant slept in the same room, but not the same bed, as the parents. The safest place for your baby to sleep for at least the first 6 months is in a separate cot or moses basket in the same room as you. Newborn babies will also wake often during the night and requier attention and feeding throughout – so it's also practical to be close to your little one.
When choosing a baby monitor, there are a few things to take into consideration. Baby monitors come in four different categories: audio, video, movement, and sensor. Each type has a unique set of benefits and drawbacks. Next, consider the attributes a baby monitor should have. The three most crucial components to consider are two-way audio, range, and battery life. Before making a final decision, we advise to study online reviews. You can use this to get a sense of what other parents think about the various baby monitors available on the market.

Newborn's spend on average 14 hours a day sleeping and we know how important it is to get the right mattress for your little one. Getting the right size and shape mattress that fits perfectly snug in your little ones sleeping space is essential to prevent any gaps around the edge that their fingers or limbs could get stuck in. The space between the top of the mattress and cot should also be big enough to prevent your child from attempting to climb out.
Make sure your mattress is both firm, flat and in good condition, as well as boasting good breathability to help regulate baby's temperature, with no signs of rips or tears or any sagging. The firmer the mattress the better. Even if it feels very stiff to you, your baby will adjust to it. Organic mattresses are a great choice and are made from chemical and allergen-free natural materials such as bamboo, coconut fibres and natural latex to name a few. They are one of the firmest varieties of baby mattresses, providing optimal support as recommended by safe sleep experts.
The nursery is where your little one will be spending a lot of their time sleeping, feeding, playing and growing, so it’s a space that needs to be enjoyable to be in for the whole family, but also work functionally for family life.
In a world full of man-made fibres and synthetics, many of us have now chosen to invest in products made with more natural materials for our baby and minimise the use of nasty chemicals and plastics that harm our planet. We often make a conscious effort to invest in natural alternatives in day-to-day life, but what about for when we sleep?
Advances in modern technology mean that many of these baby monitors now feature an array of clever components which can be overwhelming to the average parent or technophobe.
