Why shouldn't babies sleep under a duvet?

Safe sleeping is one of the most important concerns for parents of newborns. There are many rules and recommendations regarding sleep, and one of them is clear: no duvets for babies. In this article, we explain why a duvet can be risky and which alternatives are safe and comfortable. By making the right choices, such as an AeroSleep sleeping environment, you can give your child the best possible start to a healthy sleep routine.

A duvet sounds comfortable and warm, but it can actually be dangerous for babies. Two major risks are:

• Suffocation: A baby can become entangled in a duvet or their head can become covered, increasing the risk of suffocation.

• Overheating: Babies are not yet able to regulate their body temperature optimally. A duvet can trap heat and cause overheating.

A good alternative to a duvet is a sleeping bag that fits your baby perfectly and prevents loose fabrics from lying in the bed. By combining this with an AeroSleep mattress and mattress protector, you can create a safe, well-ventilated sleeping environment. AeroSleep supports:

• Optimal ventilation, so that air can circulate freely around your child

• Temperature regulation, so that your baby does not overheat

• Moisture wicking, keeping the mattress dry and hygienic

• Breathability, even if your baby rolls onto their stomach

In addition to a sleeping bag and AeroSleep sleep products, here are a few more tips to keep your baby's sleeping environment safe:

• Avoid loose pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals in the crib

• Make sure you have a firm, flat mattress that fits well in the crib

• Keep the bedroom at a comfortable temperature
