Sleepyheads

I am 34 weeks pregnant with my second child and my first child is 7years old. We used a sleepyhead deluxe from birth to 8months and then the sleepyhead grande following this for a while. I’m not sure if it was due to the sleepyhead but my first child always slept so well compared to friends children at the time. My plan was to use the sleepyhead system again but I’ve just been looking online and in the 7 years it seems like safety advice may have changed. Anyone else seen this and thoughts?

Advice always changes. Ultimately, it's up to you as a mum. I never used one, but you need to be comfortable and sure of yourself. X

I’ve got one “not advised for overnight sleeping”. So I only use to place her on my bed as I change etc

Advice is don’t use them, but i went against the advice, my baby sleeps in a purlfo and has done since a week old, she sleeps a lot better in it. The purflo is like a sleepyhead. I done research before I bought it, it’s fully breathable and can be used for overnight sleep. X

Yeah all nests and positioners go against lullaby trust guidance on safe sleep, so any that say they "are suitable for overnight sleep" is just clever marketing and still against guidance. I know people who have used them successfully, I also know of several babies who have died in them (I'm a post mortem paediatric radiographer, I take X-rays of babies who have died) so it's not something I would ever use.
