You should not place your baby on their front or use any type of equipment or rolled up blankets to keep them in one position when you get home, unless you have been told to do so by your baby’s doctor or paediatrician because of a medical condition.īabies who need to be given oxygen at home should be sleeping on their backs. Babies may find it hard to get used to a new sleeping position at first but keep putting your baby onto their back and speak to your health visitor, the community healthcare team or GP if you have any questions about this. Some babies who were born very prematurely and spent some time in a neonatal unit may have been sleeping on their fronts for medical reasons and would have been under constant monitoring. Most twins and triplets are born early so this advice also applies to them. It is even more important that safer sleep advice is followed if your baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks) or was a low birth weight (2.5kg or 5½ lbs or less).
