I used to worry about my babies when they were sleeping. I used to get so much conflicting advice of grandparents, friends, the internet and other mums. In the end I relied solely on my midwife to guide me as she seemed very clued in and up to date.
Have you heard of The Gro Company? They are a global nursery brand recognised for their innovative and award winning sleep solution technology. They have been working closely with The Lullaby Trust. The Lullaby Trust provides specialist support for bereaved families and promotes expert advice on safer baby sleep.
Here are some safer sleep guidelines from The Lullaby Trust of things to do and things to avoid when it comes to sleep:
THINGS YOU CAN DO:
Always place your baby on their back to sleep
Keep your baby smoke free during pregnancy and after birth
Place your baby to sleep in a separate cot or Moses basket in the same room as you for the first 6 months
Breastfeed your baby, if you can
Use a firm, flat, waterproof mattress in good condition
THINGS TO AVOID:
Never sleep on a sofa or in an armchair with your baby
Don’t sleep in the same bed as your baby if you smoke, drink or take drugs or are extremely tired, if your baby was born prematurely or was of low birth-weight
Avoid letting your baby get too hot
Don’t cover your baby’s face or head while sleeping or use loose bedding
I am so happy to share these with you and please do share them with other parents.
The Gro Company
The Gro Company and The Lullaby Trust have been proudly working together 2000. The award- winning partnership combines expert safe sleep advice and the highest safety standards, which is why the Grobag is The Lullaby Trust’s recommended baby sleep bag.
When it comes to sleep The Gro Company have some wonderfully useful products.
One of the products The Gro Company is best known for is the Gro-egg™ This fabulous soothing light is actually a temperature monitor that changes colour to let you know at a glance whether the temperature of a room is too low, too high or just right, to helping you achieve a safe and comfortable environment for your baby to sleep in.
So much better than guessing!
it can be dressed up took like an owl monkey or penguin too and at just £21.99 I think this is money VERY well spent.
The Gro-Hush is another innovative product and one I had not come across before. It is a portable white noise baby calmer. and it transmits soothing ‘white noise’ so that only babies can hear it. It’s long been known babies like white noise as it mimics the womb but you cant exactly carry your washing machine with you when you are out and about! This is going to be a very popular product I think with parents and babies alike! It costs £24.99.
The Gro Company are best known for their fabulous sleeping bags though that keep little ones cosy and blanket-tangle free as they sleep. The come in different togs and styles to suit the weather and the season and all have easy side zip openings for those quick night changes. The dotty day trip is my favourite. It costs £19.50
So some lovely ideas here for a safe sleep and sweet dreams from The Gro Company.
