The battle against SIDS

If you're not sure what it stands for
SIDS is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
which all nurses fiercely try and drill into your head

To prevent your precious bub experiencing SIDS
You're NOT supposed to have anything in the cot except

1) cot bedsheets (firmly tucked in),
2) a baby (appropriately dressed so he/she is not too hot or cold)
3) baby sleeping on her back
4) baby sleeping right at the foot of the cot

No doonas/quilts as baby may overheat
No pillows or bibs as baby may suffocate

No stuff toys as baby may choke if she eats her toy :c

So when we first brought Clari home from hospital

we made sure nothing was in the cot that could cause her harm

But over time,

with lack of storage space

and the realisation that Clari does not like sleeping on her back

we have unconsciously become the pin up family

for the 'How to give your baby SIDS' pamphlet (touchwood!)

Spot how many SIDS items there are in the picture below...

Yes... if Clari's nurse stumbled upon this blog, we would receive hell at our next checkup!

Oh well...
just to end off on a more pleasant note.... Clari recently took her 1st passport photos!!
