Breathability while your baby sleeps means the ease with which air circulates freely and plays a part in aiding temperature regulation by ensuring increased airflow.

With newborns spending on average 16-18 hours a day sleeping, it makes sure their environment is as safe as possible.
When considering the sides of the SnuzPod4, it’s important to remember that the 3D Mesh aspect of the ComfortAir liner is over 8mm thick, so the fabric does not lie directly against the wooden side parts. This allows air to circulate in multiple directions. Keep the crib or standalone mode away from radiators or any source of heat to avoid overheating. Similarly with windows due to drafts, try and make sure they are kept at a consistent temperature.

We can only recommend that the reflux tilt be used while your baby is awake. How to clean a Snuzpod?
