Author of baby book Save our Sleep Tizzie Hall has come under fire from online parent safety groups after a specific blog post she published this week.
Hall published a piece about ‘baby origami’ where she demonstrated to parents how to properly wrap your baby in a swaddle or blanket. Seems harmless.
Safety groups are concerned about Hall suggesting you wrap your baby in blankets before putting them in a car seat or pram/stroller.
Hall gave instructions on how to do it on her site.
Although she provided a warning, safety groups said it was still very dangerous advice and was something that parents should be warned against.
Kidsafe Queensland posted Hall's article on their Facebook Page with a warning statement. They wrote, "Just seen VERY DISTURBING information on a website. (with a link to Hall's Save our Sleep website)."
The non-government, not-for-profit organisation continued to explain what you should never do to your baby.
"DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES wrap your baby like this in a swaddle or blanket and place in a child car seat or a pram/stroller. Arms and legs MUST be sticking out of the harness straps," they wrote.
