What the petition asks
Noah had somehow managed to climb out of his cot and onto the changing table beside it. It is unknown what exactly happened on that fateful morning, but Noah had slipped between the two pieces of furniture and become trapped, causing him to become asphyxiated and sadly die. He was found hanging.
As Noah's mother, I feel this subject should reach new parents when they attend antenatal and midwife appointments.
There is so much information out there relating to other risks such as SIDS and bath safety etc, however there seem to be more incidents regarding bedroom furniture and cots as I research further, but not much is being done to make changes or raise awareness.
