Midwives have to give such advise. I was told don't buy a side open co-sleeper, don't swaddle baby, don't give baby too many baths. Then after baby came and I talked and read mummy point of views I knew it was impractical to follow strict regulation guidelines the way midwives say. Such products can't come to market without being tested and following safety guidelines so if it helps your LO sleep, don't stress.
Because, they cannot 100% guarantee the hot shot is hot enough, my my health vistor said it was okay! It was only my midwife that said that but my little boy is almost 3 weeks and all I've used is the prep machine and he seems fine @chesscalouise2 xx
Maybe it's not firm enough because babies can't really lay on anything soft because it can damage their backs. Just make sure baby isn't in it for a long time xxx
