00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:02.960
a lot of people are asking why feet to the foot of the crib?

2
00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:06.670
In this demonstration, you can see babies at the top of the crib with a blanket.

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.869
Even the youngest of babies can easily wriggle down underneath the blanket,

4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.270
leading to the danger of them overheating.

5
00:00:13.479 --> 00:00:16.924
When baby overheats, it can increase the risk of SIDS.

6
00:00:17.094 --> 00:00:20.075
This is why it's recommended that baby is positioned

7
00:00:20.084 --> 00:00:21.854
with their feet to the foot of the crib.

8
00:00:21.864 --> 00:00:25.125
Tuck the blanket in firmly around all three sides,

9
00:00:25.135 --> 00:00:27.174
making sure it's not above shoulder height.

10
00:00:27.184 --> 00:00:30.135
An ideal safe alternative is to use a baby sleeping bag.
