A simple nursery and a sensible monitor

Start with essentials

Prioritise a suitable sleep space using current safer-sleep guidance. Decorative pillows, loose bedding and toys do not belong in a baby’s sleep space.

Choose useful features

Compare range, batteries and alerts. For connected monitors, change default passwords, install updates and check recording privacy. A monitor cannot prevent sudden infant death.

• Keep cables out of reach.
• Secure furniture.
• Check device updates.

Avoid health promises

Do not rely on consumer monitors to diagnose illness or reassure you when your baby seems unwell. Seek care based on your baby’s condition.
