A high proportion of infants who die as a result of SIDS are found with their head covered by loose bedding. Don’t be tempted to put your baby under adult bedding to keep them warm. When bedsharing, keep all adult bedding or any other items that could obstruct your baby’s breathing or cause them to overheat away from the baby. However, we know that many parents find themselves bedsharing, whether they mean to or not, therefore it’s important to follow this advice.
