Need to Side Sleep Your Baby? Here’s How to Do It Safely with the Safe T Sleep® Sleepwrap®
Most parents know that back sleeping is the gold standard for safe baby sleep. But what happens when side sleeping is medically recommended?
Maybe your baby has reflux, a flat head, or has been advised by a health professional to sleep on their side.
Suddenly, safe sleep feels a lot more complicated and stressful.
The Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap is a gentle, secure way to support safer side sleeping without the risks that come with rolled-up towels or other DIY hacks.
Why Side Sleeping Can Be Risky Without Support and supervision
Unsupported and unsupervised side sleeping can lead to baby rolling too far, ending up face-down, or creeping into potentially unsafe positions. That’s why it’s usually not recommended unless prescribed by a health professional.
But when side sleeping is advised, it needs to be done safely and consistently.
How the Sleepwrap Supports Safer Side Sleeping
If you or your paediatrician chooses or recommends side sleeping for your baby, the Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap offers a gentle, secure way to support this safely.
To help ensure a safer side-sleeping, simply place baby’s underarm and shoulder slightly forward, and follow the clear instructions included with your original Sleepwrap.
✅ Helps prevent rolling onto the tummy
✅ Helps to safely maintain baby’s side or back position
✅ No need for unsafe props like rolled up towels or nappies
✅ Used by health professionals and hospitals for over 33 years
When using a swaddling product alongside the Sleepwrap, ensure your baby’s arms are gently wrapped up high across the chest. We recommend ‘arms-up’ swaddling (rather than arms-down) when side sleeping, as this helps minimise the chance of baby turning onto their tummy during sleep.
The Sleepwrap gently wraps around babys torso and underneath baby’s armpits, allowing safe, comfortable side or back sleep, while still supporting all-natural movement at each stage and age of development.
Perfect for Babies With:
- Reflux or feeding-related sleep issues
- Flat head concerns (paired with the little Safe T Sleep HEADwedge)
- Hip dysplasia
- A professional recommendation for varied sleep positions
