Changing diapers, breastfeeding and supporting the head: New parents can do a lot wrong, because they want their baby to be optimally bedded, at least during sleep.
But here too there is a danger.
Practical and cozy and warm: Many parents let their
babies
sleep in
their
sleeping bags.
TK Maxx
is now withdrawing numerous
sleeping bags
for
infants
.
The danger is too great that the little ones could choke on it.
Düsseldorf - Nothing is more tragic than
sudden infant death syndrome
: Infants can easily
suffocate
in the cradle, for example from a
duvet cover
on their face.
Parents
can prevent this by keeping their
baby
in a
sleeping bag
in a crib
go to sleep.
This can be used from
birth
and, for example, brought to the hospital for delivery.
On
NEO and intensive care units
to find exactly for this reason neither
pillows
nor
blankets
, mostly to
infants there
involved with special wrapping techniques, which also simulate even the comfort of the womb.
A
baby sleeping bag
is the alternative for inexperienced parents - and also a lot safer than the
professional's
changing method
.
You should make sure that the
sleeping bag is
the right size.
The
height of the child
should only add
ten centimeters to
the size of the sleeping bag, otherwise the babies could slip in if it is too big.
In the worst case,
suffocation could be
the result.
