We recently spoke with Ainhoa, a pediatric nurse specialized in baby sleep, about the keys to safe and peaceful rest. Here’s a summary of the most important things every family should know:

What is SIDS and how can you prevent it?

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is rare, but it's a common concern during the first months of life. These measures help reduce the risk:

• Always place baby on their back to sleep
• Use a firm mattress with no loose items
• No blankets, pillows or sheets
• Use a sleeping bag instead of blankets (like the ones from molis&co!)
• Choose the right TOG to avoid overheating

And what about head shape?

Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) can be prevented with small everyday habits:

• Alternate the baby’s head position while sleeping
• Encourage tummy time
• Avoid prolonged use of bouncers or baby seats
• Use ergonomic baby carriers that distribute pressure evenly

What is positional asphyxia?

It can occur in everyday situations such as:

• Falling asleep in a car seat without supervision
• Sleeping surrounded by pillows or cushions
• Babywearing in an incorrect position

The golden rule:

If your baby is asleep, always place them on a flat, safe and clear surface.

At molis&co, we believe that caring also means informing.

We hope these tips support you in your daily life – and help you sleep a little more peacefully and safely
