Safe Online Shopping for Baby Products:
Verify the Seller: Before purchasing, research the seller's reputation and location. Ensure they are a trustworthy company or brand.
Check for Recalls: Always check if the product has been recalled due to safety concerns. Visit http://gov.uk for official recall lists.
Immediate Action on Recalls: If you own a recalled product, stop using it immediately and request a refund.
Baby Self-Feeding Pillows:
Never use self-feeding pillows that prop up bottles and allow babies to feed unattended. Babies require constant supervision during feeding to prevent choking or gagging.
Sleeping Bags:
Choose well-fitting sleeping bags with snug neck and armholes to prevent your baby from slipping inside and overheating or suffocating. Avoid sleeping bags with hoods or head coverings, as these can also raise body temperature or obstruct breathing.
Hug Pillows:
Avoid pillows for babies under 12 months. They can trap heat, increasing the risk of overheating and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Babies lose heat through their heads, and pillows can interfere with that process.
