Sleepyhead/purflo nest etc etc

[SunSparkle]

Hi

Everyone I know who has had babies has recommended getting a baby nest to go in the crib/cot etc for them to sleep in. My mum used to roll up towels underneath the sheets when we were little which sounds the same thing but less safe!

Obviously advice is that they aren't for overnight sleeping because of SIDs. The evidence base is yet to have robust data on this though.

If you got one/used one, what did your midwife say when they saw it?

I genuinely can't see why they are dangerous (I personally suspect they are lumped in to keep the advice really clear). In my experience babies dont move around much or roll over until 4 months at the earliest. So how can they pose a threat to a newborn if you put them down on their back?

I agree. I think they're included with all sleep positioners to avoid confusion, but seem much safer than rolling up blankets or even tucking babies into blankets etc.
