Happy Birthday Daddy!
I hope you have a very special 34th birthday....and Mommy would like to remind you, that you will always be older than her ;-)
Fish Out of Water - Advice Needed
I have had many nicknames through out the 4 1/2 months I have been alive. When was a few days old, I could get out of ANY swaddle, even the special swaddle blankets that had velcro. I always wanted my arms free and I would wiggle until they were. This earned me the nickname "Hoodini" or just "Hoodi" as mommy would refer to me. Then once I passed my due date and starting eating, I became "Hoggie Augie" or "Hoggust." Now, given recent events, I have a new nickname.....fish! I can not stay still in my crib!!! I am like a fish just flipping around the whole crib. Once I learned how to roll over, that is seriously all i do.....Mommy will put me down in my crib - asleep (ok - Mom knows that you are supposed to put babies down awake....but geez - we are still working on the whole sleep thing) and I flip over - while still asleep!! I flip all around in my crib - so that at any given night, I have slept in every spot possible and all on my tummy. Mommy and Daddy come in and flip me back to my back and I just roll right on over. The Doctor says it is not good for me to sleep on my tummy this young - but I just love it! Mommy looked at buying an infant positioner for me to wedge on the sides of me to keep me in place - but they all say that once a baby starts rolling and moving to not use them. Anyone out there have advice on how to keep me on my back and my face away from the bumper pads?

Hey, my understanding is that they can sleep on their tummies once they can roll. I believe you are supposed to put them down on their backs and if they flip, leave them. If in doubt, try calling his doctor to verify.
ReplyDeleteI think Rachel is right, he can sleep on his tummy once he is flipping onto it. Honestly, it doesn't sound like you can prevent it! I would put him down on his back anyway. Also, you can get a mesh bumper at BRU. That way he won't land face first in his bumper. Of course, the mesh ones aren't as cute but they help so a leg or arm won't get stuck in the slats!
