ATHERLEY House surgery is the latest doctors' practice to back the Daily Echo Keep Them Safe campaign.

Cheryl Henly, who works at the surgery, in Shirley, Southampton, has placed a Keep Them Safe poster on their notice board for patients to read.

The posters are designed to remind mums and dads of the dangers of sleeping with their babies.

The Daily Echo campaign is backed by Southampton Primary Care Trust, Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust, Hampshire police and the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths.

The campaign was launched after it emerged that eight babies had died in just six months in Hampshire after falling asleep in the same bed as their parents.

Experts say the safest place for your baby to sleep is in a cot in your room for the first six months and you should never share a bed with your baby.
