Safe sleep
Safety is at the heart of everything that The Gro Company
does and we work in partnership with The Lullaby Trust,
the UK's leading safer sleep charity who provide expert
advice on safer sleep for babies, supports bereaved
families and raise awareness of sudden infant death.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden and
unexpected death of a baby for no obvious reason and
although we don't yet know how to completely prevent SIDS,
it is possible to significantly lower the chances of it happening
by following the advice.
