Final Words Of Advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOf course, the idea of SIDS and cot death is something horrible and is something you shouldn\u2019t let plague your mind as a mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So long as you are aware of the dangers and how to avoid them, and you take the necessary precautions, there is no reason why this should be a constant worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We would suggest being cautious when moving your baby into a crib. Our advice is to act a little earlier than you may think as this can give you the best protection against SIDS, to act before it happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this also means not acting too early either, as this could be to your baby’s detriment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you think your baby is at risk of rolling over, consider buying an anti-rolling mattress first, but if it is close to around the five-month mark, looking for a suitable crib could be a good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using this mattress initially will help a lot with getting them used to the crib and the larger size without dangerously rolling over in their earlier days of the crib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the main take-home here is that your baby needs to move to a crib before they can dangerously roll over and create a possible risk of cot death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But also, your baby will naturally gain the ability to stay on their feet and crawl at some point. This also means you should move them to a crib at this time as they can get out of a bassinet at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SIDS is a scary and rather distasteful idea, but being aware of it, how to prevent it, as well as how it happens, is ultimately a mother\u2019s best defense against SIDS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But precaution should also be taken for the mother’s health by making sure she isn\u2019t totally stressed out by the idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you take the correct precautions there should be no reason to worry about cot death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
