My boy is 6 months, and he's just learned how to flip over on to his stomach.
This is great during the day when we can watch him, but he's started doing it when we put him to sleep.

I know he's changed, I know he's fed. I'm worried about SIDS.

It's now 4:40 am. I've been up for an hour, and this crazy boy has flipped over on his belly 3 times! He's not yet figured out how flip back over on his back.

Slim need sleep. Please help Slim!

We used to just let the kids sleep in their crib without a pillow. its part of being a parent and yes, I too was paranoid about SIDS.

Sounds very familiar. Fact is, we all worry.....but after the first baby you realize they are pretty much indestructible. "Bouncing Baby Boy" isn't actually a description, it's a spectator sport in some cultures! How do you think those NBA players whose names you can't pronounce learned to dribble?LOL

Ichy, welcome back....did not notice your earlier posts today. Now I feel foolish for having had "Ichy come back" in large letters as my sig for a day! LOL - If it helped get you back, that's great. If it played no part, so be it. Hell, for all I know you didn't even see it. Whatever...

Now.....Back to regularly scheduled programming.

Peace,
D.

Yup...Just a flat mattress and no pillow. Keep stuffed toys out too.

shyi3t · 03-04-2008, 05:17 AM

+1 on the flat mattress . nothing around the baby that would suffocate the baby . mine just a year old . and when she was born i too was worried about sids but i did as told what to do to prevent sids ...

+1 on what everybody is saying,,we actually kept them promped on their sides,,the big worry was letting them sleep on their backs flat,,puke and drown in it,,not a nice thought but reality

LOL - I remember this all too well. The thing is, if he is developed enough to roll over, he is OK. Just +1 on flat firm mattress, nothing in crib like blanket or pillow, and not too many stuffed animals. My son and daughter both had, well still have, a "night night" animal they have slept with from day one.

If you are having problems sleeping yourself, you may want to consider getting an angel monitor. http://www.dynamic-living.com/wireless_baby_monitor.htm.
A friend of ours swore by it - she had a really hard time leaving the baby in the other room, and this thing will sound an alarm if it doesn't detect movement / breathing for 20 seconds.

Good luck!
