The diagram shows how to place baby in the cot. To stop it wriggling down under the covers, put baby’s feet at the foot of the cot or pram. Make the covers up so they reach no higher than the shoulders. Tuck them in so the covers can’t slip over baby’s head. |

The safest place for baby to sleep is in a cot in your room for the first 6 months.
If you have baby in bed with you for a cuddle, it's safest to put it back in the cot before you go to sleep.
Sharing beds with babies can cause cot deaths. So don't do it, especially if you smoke or have had alcohol or pills of any kind at all.
Never sleep with a baby on a sofa or armchair.
