It's how I (and most of us) were raised, and we made it. The key thing is to just check on baby often. It was with the advent of baby monitors that people got hung up on listening for sounds that they stopped actually checking in on baby often. I also have one of those video monitors, so I literally watched them the whole time they sleptMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681605230197477402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11423672.post-1131206221224919912005-11-05T10:57:00.000-05:002005-11-05T10:57:00.000-05:00Yikes.

Dr. Sears mentions something about allowing a baby to sleep in the position that he naturally gravitates towards if nothing else you've tried works. But I think the general recommendation is if they turn on to their tummy, you are to flip them back over. But again, going back to that Dr. Sears tidbit...I'd flip J overAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11423672.post-1131201978514727962005-11-05T09:46:00.000-05:002005-11-05T09:46:00.000-05:00Fuzzypeach - I think that is what bothers me, he w...Fuzzypeach - I think that is what bothers me, he was face down...well his body was tilted a little but he had his head turned in face down. I noticed this is how he likes to sleep. If ! have him in a Mei Tai he likes to burry his face in my chest where I'm certain he can't breath. I constantly turn it to the side but he puts it right back. He's not the best rollover-er so it concerns me Mama C-tahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037684490850638205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11423672.post-1131197099111280422005-11-05T08:24:00.000-05:002005-11-05T08:24:00.000-05:00Both mine did this.

I have just decided to stop worrying--vigilant, ever vigilant, but worrying accomplishes little. Besides, our parents generation didn't know anything about sleeping--and look, we're all alive! I say just make sure he doesn't have blankets over his face area and then let him sleep on his stomach--if he can lift his christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512193388004651022noreply@blogger.com
