5 ways to help reduce the risk of SIDS ⚠️ While SIDS cannot be completely prevented, you can reduce the risks of it occurring considerably by following the Lullaby Trust safer sleep advice: • Sleep your baby on their back for all sleeps - day and night - as this can reduce the risk of SIDS by six times compared to sleeping them on their front. • Share a room with your baby for the first six months - this can halve the risk of SIDS. The safest place for a baby to sleep is in their own clear, flat, separate sleep space, such as a cot or Moses basket in the same room as you. • Keep your baby smoke-free during pregnancy and after birth - this is one of the most protective things you can do for your baby. • Never sleep on a sofa or armchair with your baby as this can increase the risk of SIDS by 50 times. • Do not co-sleep with your baby if you or anyone in the bed have drunk any alcohol, smoke, been taking drugs or medication that make you drowsy; these factors can put babies at an extremely high risk of SIDS when co-sleeping.
