She wants all parents of newborns to see this
Mum issues sleep pod warning as newborn daughter almost suffocates First published on Monday 10 May 2021 Last modified on Tuesday 11 May 2021
A concerned mum has warned parents against using sleep pods for their newborns, after her daughter nearly suffocated in hers. 'I left Maisie for three mins in her Sleepy Head Deluxe to find her gasping for air. Poor thing couldn’t breath against the side of the pod. 'Her skin was mottled and purple and she was covered in sweat. I just hate to think what would have happened if I left her any longer.
The Lullaby Trust – a charity which exists to reduce the number of SIDS deaths and support bereaved families – says more than one in three parents have, or intend to buy baby sleep nests and pods which go against safer sleep guidelines. 'Items such as cushioned sleeping pods, nests, baby hammocks, cot bumpers, pillows, duvets and anything that wedges or straps a baby in place can pose a risk to babies under 12 months.
'Additionally a number of manufacturers make inaccurate claims about the safety of their products and as there are no safety standards that relate to sudden infant death syndrome it is very difficult for parents to know which products are safe for their baby.'
