If baby sleeps with a blanket, they need to be in the feet to foot position. This means, whether they're sleeping in a cot, pram, Moses basket, crib or travel cot, lay baby with their feet at the foot of it! Then tuck the blanket in firmly around them (not above shoulder height)
ALT There is a baby laid at the foot of a pram, the foot of a cot, the foot of a travel cot, and even two twins in a single cot with each baby in the feet to foot position at opposite ends. Text says 'feet to foot in every sleep space'

Looking after a baby can be stressful, but shaking them is never, ever the answer. It’s okay to walk away, take a breath, stay in control. #NeverEverShakeABaby
