My partner and I have two children, one of which is 9 months old.
He sleeps in his cot and for the first 7-8 months he was wrapped tightly in a blanket and laid down. He is a good sleeper and by the morning he would still be on his back.
However in the last month or so he has begun to get stronger and is now able to turn himself over completely on his front. However this has caused problems at night as he is now eventually able to fight his way out of the blanket to expose his arms and turn himself onto his front. In fact he barley needs any arms to do this.
This we feel prsents potential problems, as we believe that sleeping on their front can be a cause of cot death.
We could take away the wrapped blanket altogether to give him freedom to turn himself over if he goes on his front but then he would take a lot longer to go to sleep and still presents the possibility of cot death.
Anyway, does anyone have any 'best practice' about how babies should sleep/cot death/tips etc.. etc.
