If you’re visiting family or friends this Christmas, you might need to bring something with you for your baby to sleep in. For babies that usually sleep in a cot or Moses basket, a travel cot is a great option when travelling.

You might’ve noticed that the travel cot mattress feels thinner and harder than a regular cot. This is completely normal, so don’t be tempted to place folded blankets or a quilt under your baby to try to make them ‘more comfortable’ as this might cause your baby to become too hot.

Take a look at some more of our tips for using a travel cot this Christmas ⬇️

• Use a cot with a rigid and firm base
• The cot’s mattress should be firm, flat, and have a waterproof cover
• Don’t put extra padding, folded blankets, or quilts under your baby
• Do not place the cot next to a radiator or have a heat source, like a portable heater, directly aimed at your baby
• Keep away from blind cords or other hazards

Rates of infections are rising rapidly amongst children. Here is FREE Healthier Together app poster to share with all parents to help know what to look out for and when to seek help.

Exercise is best if it's fun (then children don’t realise they are doing it).

To tempt them outside why not try some welly mud printing by walking in mud and looking at the imprints they've made in the mud or asking them to then walk onto a roll of paper and guess whose footprint is whose.

Or why not try our autumn treasure hunt (for older children you could give them points for the more difficult to find objects) and add in some early maths? There are also lots of autumnal outdoor ideas on the Woodland Trust website.
