What kind of bedding is safest for my baby?

We do not recommend duvets or quilts for babies and we do not recommend cot bumpers because of the risks of suffocation. A single blanket is probably sufficient if the room is kept comfortable enough for an adult to be warm. Remember that one blanket doubled over counts as two blankets. If it is very cold, then obviously more bedding is needed. If your baby’s tummy feels warm to the touch, he is fine. Don’t worry too much if his hands and feet are cool to the touch.
