We advise that babies have plenty of supervised tummy time in their waking hours to minimise time spent on their back, and you should also avoid letting babies sleep in harder contained sleep environments such as car seats and other travel systems.
It can be common to use a second-hand mattress either from friends and family, or from your previous children. There is some research that found an increased chance of SIDS when using a second-hand mattress brought in from outside of the family home, although the link is not yet proven.
To help reduce this risk, if you are using a second-hand mattress make sure the mattress you choose was previously completely protected by a waterproof cover, with no rips or tears and is in good condition. The mattress should also still be firm and flat to keep your baby sleeping safely. Cot bumpers can pose the risk of an accident to your baby once they begin to roll and move about the cot.
There have been a number of cases in the UK and abroad where infants have become entangled in the ties and material, or fallen from pulling themselves up on the bumpers. A simple mattress in your cot with no loose bedding or bumpers is the safest sleeping place for a baby. Find out more about our advice on cot bumpers here.
Generally we would advise it is safest to have a new mattress for each baby, though we know this is not always possible. There is some evidence to suggest that bringing in a mattress from another home might increase the risk of sudden infant death very slightly. When using your own mattress for a second or more time, ensure it is still firm and flat with no tears or holes, and is not sagging in places.
Thoroughly clean the waterproof layer and ensure the mattress is clean and dry before making it up with fresh bed clothes. The Lullaby Trust has no evidence that putting twins in the same cot, in the early months, places them at greater risk of sudden infant death. By the time the twins are big enough to roll over they should be moved into their own separate cots.
All the safer sleep advice applicable to single babies should be followed whether the babies are in the cot together or not. It is fine for your baby to fall asleep when they are in their car seat, but once you get home we would advise that you move your baby to their usual firm, flat surface to sleep.
With this much time spent snoozing, it makes sense to invest in a sturdy yet comfortable mattress that will offer your little one the support they need. Mattresses with dual firmness are a popular option, and offer long-lasting, customisable support as your little one grows. The Little Green Sheep Twist mattress is part of our best-selling range, backed up by countless awards over the past 8 years.
The firm side provides optimal support for babies up to 12 months, as recommended by safe sleep experts. When baby becomes a playful toddler, you can simply twist the mattress for a more supple, comfy and durable support that will last for years to come. Our Twist and Organic Cot Bed, and Single mattresses all come with a 5-year guarantee, for years of comfort and support as your little one grows. We recommend airing your mattress a few times a week by removing any covers until you next use it.
To clean, be sure to wipe down or hoover the surface of the mattress when needed. If you do wipe it clean, be sure to allow the mattress time to air dry fully before use. If, for whatever reason, this is not possible for you, ensure the mattress you reuse is one you know the history of, that is clean and in suitable condition.
