While sleeping, babies may get into dangerous situations.

They may be;

- suffocated under bedding
- choked on toys or other objects
- caught between the cot side and the mattress
- strangled on chords and ribbons

The reasons for this are that they;

- are not able to control their own sleeping situations
- cannot understand danger
- may not be able to move out of a dangerous situation
- may place things in their mouths or around their necks
