This week is Safer Sleep Week, which is an annual awareness campaign by The Lullaby Trust. This year the theme is ‘baby necessities’ – the essential items that babies need and how to check that they’re as safe as possible.  

You can find lots of resources on their website to share with families you work with including:

• Safer Sleep Essentials list poster - outlines the key items needed for safer sleep.
• Safer Sleep Essentials visual poster - as above but low text
• How to dress your baby for sleep – an overview of what to dress a baby in for sleep in different temperatures.
