Safe Sleep & Snuggle Buddy™ – What Parents Need to Know
At Elvera™, your baby’s safety and comfort are always our top priority. As parents ourselves, we know that nothing matters more than giving your little one a safe, secure environment—especially when it comes to sleep.
Whether you're in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, or the UK, we encourage all families to follow the safe sleep recommendations outlined by trusted health authorities like Red Nose (AU), AAP (US), and NHS (UK).
Here are a few key safe sleep practices supported globally:
✅ Always place baby on their back to sleep
Back sleeping helps keep airways clear and reduces the risk of suffocation and overheating. It’s the safest position for infants under 12 months.
✅ Keep baby's face and head uncovered
Avoid loose bedding, hats, or hoods during sleep. This helps prevent overheating and supports proper airflow.
✅ Create a safe sleep space
Your baby should always sleep in their own cot, crib or bassinet, with a firm, flat mattress and well-fitted sheets—free of toys, pillows, or bulky blankets. A safe sleep sack is a great alternative to blankets.
✅ Room-share, not bed-share
For at least the first 6 months, the safest place for your baby to sleep is in their own sleep space in your room.
🧸 Where Snuggle Buddy™ Fits In
Snuggle Buddy™ is not a toy, but a soothing aid designed to gently comfort your baby during supervised periods—such as before nap time, during winding down, or while settling in a caregiver’s arms.
It uses gentle, rhythmic patting, calming warmth, and hypoallergenic plush materials to help babies feel relaxed, safe, and comforted.
Important: We recommend not placing Snuggle Buddy™ inside your baby’s cot, bassinet, or sleep space during unsupervised sleep.
Instead, use it as a pre-sleep soothing tool or place it outside the sleep space if used near a crib, following Red Nose Australia and other safe sleep guidelines.
🔒 Safety Matters
Snuggle Buddy™ is made from baby-safe, hypoallergenic materials, built with a low-noise motor and gentle heating element that’s tested to be safe for external contact. It is USB rechargeable, free from harsh vibrations, and designed for daily use under adult supervision.
We also provide clear usage guidelines and disclaimers on our product page and packaging to help parents make informed choices.
