She said it's really common now that they recommend babies sleep on their backs

Just wondering what position your little ones sleep in. I have tried to follow the advice about putting Leila to sleep on her back but she hates it. She lies like a star fish and does that startle reflex thing constantly which wakes her up.

Pretty much from 2 weeks old she could roll from her back to her side - which appeared to be her position of choice to sleep in, so we left her like that and I didnt worry too much because she wasnt on her front. However this week at 4 weeks old she has started to roll all the way over onto her tummy to sleep. I havent seen her do it but when I put her on her back I check on her about 20 mins later and she will be asleep on her tummy with her little knees tucked under her and her head to one side. My mum says not to worry but i've started to check she's breathing more often than I was before!

Does anyone use one of those things with the rolled up edges to stop them rolling or do you think I should just leave her to it and not worry.

jasmine mainly sleeps on her back but she does like to be on her side as well, shes not actually mastered rolling over yet, she doesnt like being on her tummy for too long either.

hi all,

MFD - are you sure you weren't shopping in my town today because i saw a lady pushing your pram :-)

wish i was joining you ladies at the picnic (even though i am still not breastfeeding).

Was she a stunner like moi??? :cool:

Oh I wish everyone could be there - Benjamin and I might start a tour of the British Isles to see everyone

Mooki - I personally wouldn't worry, I put Ed to sleep on his side often :shhh:
He also likes being swaddled but it keeps being too hot!:rolleyes:

you also get a thing from boots that helps clear babies nose, it looks like a big dropper but you squeeze it and it clears the gunk. i had one until OH used it on his car lol!

i looked at one of those in tesco and as i picked up the box it fell apart, and a snooty suited tesco worker glared at me and watched me put it back together before tutting and going off!
what could he possibly have used it for on the car??

we have two rolled up towels moulded to seths size under the main sheet, but we are co-sleeping at the moment so we needed to stop him rolling towards us. but its a more MSE way of doing it!

i am contemplating going to tesco now to find these wondrous snuffle cures :think:

I looked at that one and like it but don't think it'll go over the pram handle

That's why I like it - it is like a proper shoulder bag - the long strap ones like the free boots one seem to slip off my shoulder and my boobies are too big to wear it diagonally

That's why I want one on the pram I hate that they always falling off while I'm pushing so have to stop and readjust

Ed finally asleep after crying for about 20 min! no idea what was wrong he's all sweaty now though

If you go for a plug in one check the adult section too, the sudafed one was the cheapest when I got it (don't forget to factor in refills) the kids ones are exactly the same but as usual more expensive :rolleyes:
