That’s great that you were given that info! I wonder why more trusts don’t offer car seat information, when it is just as important as safe sleep information.When I had my son 6 years ago I had to watch a car safety DVD on a laptop in my hospital bed before being allowed home. It was part of the discharge process. The biggest thing I remember from it is that babies shouldn’t be in car seats for too long as the position they are sat in can obstruct their airway. They strongly advise against using the car seat adaptors and putting the car seat on the pushchair chassis. To this day I’ve never done that and won’t with this baby. I don’t even purchase the adapters. Babies should lay flat to sleep either in a carrycot or a fully lay back pushchair. It’s my pet hate seeing very small babies being pushed around in a car seat but that’s just me.
Funny I saw a thing yesterday which was like a huge plaited monstrosity for inside a cot that was being sold on Etsy. The post was from a baby charity saying never use something like this as it can contribute to SIDS. But the comments were shocking underneath. One guy said “can you provide sources for you claim cot bumpers cause SIDS?” and people saying they use them anywayDon’t worry I definitely won’t be doing that! I still am totally shocked when people put cot bumpers on babies cribs, the fact that they are even for sale even though there is so much research as to how dangerous they are petrifies me.
