Did everyone see 9am this morning there was a story about porta
cots. A baby died when it became trapped down the side of an
additional mattress that the parents had put into the porta cot
because they felt that the one that came with the cot was too hard.
The coroner has asked that a warning be spread to all parents that no
additional mattress be put into porta cots as it makes it potentially
dangerous. The mattress provided is firm for a reason as it prevents
the baby from getting trapped down the side of the mattress between
the soft sides of the cot and the mattress.
