The timing of when to introduce a comforter to your baby may vary depending on your location and the safe sleep guidelines you opt to follow.

🇦🇺 advises waiting until your baby is at least 7 months old before introducing a comforter, ensuring they can move it away from their face if left in their sleep space.

🇺🇸 The - American Academy of Pediatrics suggests excluding any loose bedding, such as comforters or soft toys, from the crib until the baby reaches 12 months of age.

🇬🇧 and NHS provide guidance on safe sleep and they suggest that a baby should not sleep unattended with a comforter until 12 months of age. The safest way for a baby to sleep is in a clear cot.

Regardless of the guideline you choose to adhere to, it is essential to ensure that the comforter does not exceed 30cm X 30cm in size.
