Is it safe?

Cot bumper	NO	There were concerns bumpers make babies hot, but research contradicts this. However, there’s still a danger of choking on ties.
Baby sleeping bag	YES…BUT	It must be the right size and with no hood. Never use with a duvet or quilt. Choose a lightweight bag to avoid your baby overheating.
Baby sheepskin	YES…BUT	These are not risky as long your baby sleeps on his back. Once your baby starts trying to roll over onto his front, do not use.
Baby walker	NO	They can easily tip over, and are the cause of 3500 injuries a year—80% of which are babies under a year old.
