FAQ's Answer 19
19. Can I put my baby straight into a cot (rather than bassinet first)?
Yes many of parents decide to put their baby straight into a cot. This saves a lot of money as you not need to buy a bassinet plus all that goes with it, saving a few hundred dollars! Parents also use the Safe T Sleep™ Sleepwrap® product on ‘big’ beds rather than buying a portable cot when travelling/or visiting saving another few hundred dollars.
To make a nice cosy ‘nest’ when sleeping a tiny baby in a big cot or bed many parents swaddle (wrap) their newborn baby and then put the Safe T Sleep™ Sleepwrap® product over the top. You will need to follow earlier product instructions carefully and/or see the other options listed in Question 12.
Neonatal nurses and midwives observe babies to be physiologically very agile at a younger and younger age, some as young as just three weeks old! PREVENTION IS THE KEY!
