What a performance from my nephew in his 1️⃣st marathon. Raised over £3000 for The Lullaby Trust and ran an amazing 3️⃣:2️⃣8️⃣:3️⃣3️⃣ nailing the sub 3️⃣:3️⃣0️⃣ he wanted 👏 🏃‍♂️🔥

So proud of my amazing brother Alex Prior running TCS London Marathon for The Lullaby Trust with an incredible time of 3:14!

Simfest friend Sam completed the TCS London Marathon in a ridiculously quick 3hrs 28m. It takes me longer to walk to the tower!

Please donate if you can to our usual charity The Lullaby Trust

Some common baby items increase the risk of accidents. We recommend against the following products:
-
❌ Cot bumpers
❌ Sleep positioners
❌ Pillows*
❌ Bulky bedding*
-
*Until baby is at least 12mth old

Babies shouldn't sleep on anything that isn't firm and flat. We advise moving your baby onto a firm, flat surface (e.g. cot / Moses basket) if they fall asleep in one of these:
-
⚜️ Beanbag
⚜️ Hammock
⚜️ Baby swing
⚜️ Bouncer / rocker
⚜️ Pod / nest
⚜️ Highchair

Shoutout to Adam Kay as he jets off for the Australia/New Zealand leg of his tour. Adam has let us hold collection buckets at his sell-out UK tour & we've raised £28,895 in just 4mths! 🎉 Fancy volunteering for later UK dates? Email [email protected]

Even though cots are often shown (e.g. on TV or in shops) with cuddly toys, cot bumpers and other extra items, it is much safer to keep the cot clear. This means having just 2 items alongside your baby: (1) Mattress, and (2) lightweight bedding such as a blanket or sleeping bag.

Overheating can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Here are 7 items that might cause a baby to overheat during sleep:
-
🌡️ Pods/nests
🌡️ Pillows
🌡️ Weighted bedding
🌡️ Sheepskins
🌡️ Quilts/duvets
🌡️ Soft toys
-
Remember: The safest cot is a clear cot.

Babies need to lose heat through their heads so that they don’t overheat. Sleep surfaces that have cushioned or raised areas can stop babies releasing heat in this way, and even young babies should not wear hats indoors (unless advised by a medical professional).

CONI coordinators and champions – save the date! We run free, quarterly online Q&A sessions about CONI so you can keep updated and connect with each other. The next session is on Wed 24 Apr, 1- 2pm (booking is essential). bit.ly/3pkb6FO

We do not recommend specifically how many layers a baby should wear in different temperatures because every baby is different. Here’s Stacey to explain how to adjust bedding according to your baby’s individual needs.

Can my toddler take a cuddly toy to sleep? The safest cot for a baby (up to 12mth) is a clear cot so we recommend removing anything that isn’t essential (including toys). However, once a baby is 12mth old, you can introduce a cuddly toy if you would like to.

Sleeping on a firm, flat mattress reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Inclining, tilting or propping the mattress won’t help with reflux and is unlikely to improve cold symptoms. If you're concerned about your baby, speak with your health visitor or GP.
