Sadly, around four babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and if all parents were aware of safer sleep advice, many lives could be saved.
Every year the Lullaby Trust promote safe sleeping through their Safer Sleep Week which runs from 9th to 15th March. The theme for 2026 is Baby Necessities.
The theme urges parents and carers to ‘keep it simple to keep it safe’ when thinking about or purchasing baby sleep products.
The Lullaby Trust campaign offers advice and information on:
– what products to buy and what to avoid
– what to look for in a product and if it is safe for sleep
– what to dress baby in for sleep in different temperatures
