Parents urged not to put duvet on babies this winter due to 'fatal risk'

An expert has shared why parents shouldn't put a duvet over their baby to keep them warm this winter.

Thanks to rising energy bills, some households may look to avoid excessive use of the heating in favour of cheaper ways to keep the cold away.

However, using a duvet to heat up a baby could cause suffocation and experts warn that it may cause overheating, which increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
