Can Baby Sleep on Diaper Changing Pad?

Published in Baby Safety 1 min read

The direct answer is no.

Manufacturer's Warning on Changing Pads

According to the information found on a changing pad's manufacturer's warning label, it explicitly states that it is NOT SAFE for baby to sleep in.

Changing pads are specifically designed to provide a padded and often contoured surface for the brief period required to change a baby's diaper. They are not intended as safe sleeping surfaces and manufacturers include these warnings to ensure the product is used as intended and to mitigate risks associated with unsupervised sleep.

Always adhere to the safety guidelines and warnings provided by the manufacturer for all baby products. Safe sleep practices recommend using a firm, flat surface designed specifically for infant sleep, such as a crib mattress, without loose bedding or soft materials.
