Newborns spend most of their time sleeping. They can sleep for up to 16 hours or more in a day, spending up to 3 to 4 hours sleeping during each rest period. Therefore considering the huge amount of time infants sleep, it is important to identify the safety issues when babies go to bed.
First and foremost, co-sleeping with your baby is very dangerous. For parents who are heavy sleepers, they might inadvertently crush or suffocate the baby. In addition, babies usually co-sleep together on their parents' bed, there are heavy quilts and blankets that might accidently cover their face and cause the babies to suffocate too.

Looking at all these dangers of co-sleeping, try to let your child sleep in a baby nursery bedding. Sleeping in a crib will have no risk of parents turning onto their babies. Furthermore, there won't be any heavy quilts and blankets that might cause the baby to choke while sleeping. Therefore, parents are encouraged to get a baby nursery bedding for your little one to sleep in as it is safer than co-sleeping with the baby's parents.
Some parents may be afraid that their baby catches a cold at night and many discourage the use of blankets. Actually, there is a safe way of using a blanket during the baby's rest. Just make sure that when your child is in the baby nursery bedding, his feet touches the end of the crib and the blanket shouldn't be higher than his chest. In this way, it will not be easy for your baby to be covered by the blanket and it will be safer for your baby when he sleeps at night.
Another way of sleeping safely is to always let your baby sleep on her back. Sleeping on your baby's tummy may have risks of choking when your baby faces down on the mattress. Infants are too weak to roll around or shift themselves out of a dangerous position. Therefore letting your child sleep on her back in the baby nursery bedding will be the safest option.
Some baby sleep better on their tummy because their heart is close to something which makes them feel safe and at ease. However, it is still not advisable to let your child sleep on her tummy until, maybe when she has the strength to be able to toss and turn around in bed by herself.
When your baby goes to bed, try to dress your baby in light sleep clothing to avoid your baby from "overheating". The nursery room should be kept at a comfortable temperature so that your baby will feel neither too cold nor warm. If the room is too warm, get a fan to gently cool the area so that your baby will feel comfortable when sleeping.
Look closely at all these factors and assess your baby's sleeping area carefully. Let your baby sleep safely and comfortably and you will be able to sleep well without worries too!
