As continues this is our reminder that babies and small children are most likely to drown at home in the bath or in the garden.

That's why our key message is to keep them in arm’s reach in water.

Many parents mistakenly believe bath seats will keep their baby safe, with potentially tragic consequences.

Please help us spread the message that bath seats are not safety devices.

Self-feeding pillows can be deadly. That’s because the baby can’t push the bottle away, so can choke or suffer aspiration pneumonia.

Your baby needs you with them while they are feeding, so you can react if they start gagging or choking.

An urgent safety alert was issued for baby self-feeding pillows in 2022. But you can still buy them online.

Please avoid using anything that encourages you to leave your baby alone to feed with a propped-up bottle. And warn family and friends too.

And for tips on feeding multiples safely visit Twins Trust: https://twinstrust.org/advice-and-support/first-year/feeding-three-babies-at-once/ Alternatively, your health visitor or midwife may be able to offer advice on different feeding strategies.
