REGULARS at the Burgess Road Toy Library are backing the Daily Echo Keep Them Safe campaign warning parents of the danger of sleeping with their babies.
Librarian Mel Knight is pictured pinning a poster to their notice board with the help of Bianca Webb with Flo and Sonny and Puja Mishra with Ipsa.
The Daily Echo launched the campaign after it was revealed that eight babies had died in just six months in Hampshire after falling asleep in the same bed as their parents.
It is backed by Southampton Primary Care Trust, Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust, Hampshire police and the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID).
Experts say that the safest place for your baby to sleep is in a cot in your room for the first six months and you should never sleep with your baby on a sofa or armchair.
For advice and information call the FSID helpline on 020 7233 2090 or go to www.sids.org.uk/fsid.
