They slept them all on their tummies.<BR/><BR/>Now, they were also hooked up to a million monitors, but still. They obviously had no problem with tummy sleeping.<BR/><BR/>I used something in the actual crib - email me, I will send you the link.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264845015930907294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15766662.post-1344899277350295162008-07-28T20:04:00.000-07:002008-07-28T20:04:00.000-07:00Stephanie!Call me! THIS EXACT SAME THING happened...Stephanie!<BR/><BR/>Call me! THIS EXACT SAME THING happened with Daniel and a wise nurse friend (you know her...the one who works in the NICU at the children's hospital in Bham) told me to put him on his stomach...I said are you kidding and she said no..do it. and i did. and he slept. and after a while I did it at night...and I didn't know about the angel make a noise thing, so i did it without it...and since I have come out of the closet on this, I have heard many other moms coming out and saying they did the same thing. I was just glad I had a NICU nurse telling me to do it so I didn't feel guilty...and you shouldn't either. It might take you a few times of him sleeping on his stomach for naps before you get brave enough to do it at night...but when you get tired enough, you will do it. :)amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669687980992701926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15766662.post-37968547117634241082008-07-28T11:37:00.000-07:002008-07-28T11:37:00.000-07:00Hi, Stephanie,My friend's little girl did the exac...Hi, Stephanie,<BR/><BR/>My friend's little girl did the exact same thing Asher is doing with screaming, and it drove her nuts! She ended up putting her in a corner for time out b/c other time out situations weren't working!! It worked for her like a charm, and now... no screaming (unless she is playing outside which she taught her was an okay place to scream). <BR/><BR/>As for baby Silas, have you thought about getting the monitor that beeps when the baby doesn't move for a certain period of time? My friend Rachel's little boy wouldn't sleep either and cried all the time b/c he was uncomfortable so they got this ("Angel"???) monitoring system for his crib mattress so they could also sleep without worrying about him :)<BR/><BR/>Big hugs to you!!!<BR/>AdrienneAdrienne, Another Ordinary Miraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970883436896687928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15766662.post-84372926114891326682008-07-26T06:58:00.000-07:002008-07-26T06:58:00.000-07:00Oui.

They get to sleep fine but start "stirring about an hour before feeding time when we are in the "just 50 more minutes PLEASE mode... so we have done what we said we wouldn't...put them in the bed with us. If one or both of them are snuggled up next to me with a pacifier they are quiet but in the same position in their pack n play they scream. So maybe this is just what comes with new baby territory. We have found though that the Boppy Loungers (boppy with the hole sewn in) works well for tummy sleeping...it arches upward and you can position them on their tummies with little to no risk... just disregard the tag that says "Not for sleeping/NO DORMIR) :-}Laura Mielkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201624805631019862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15766662.post-41202636078776735102008-07-26T06:43:00.000-07:002008-07-26T06:43:00.000-07:00Oh, I've been there!

However, I have a friend who has a new baby with Downs, and I guess she's at higher risk or at least they are more concerned about her and SIDS. They got this crib sensor that is REALLY sensitive and senses any little motion (breathing, etc). If there is no motion or very little for 10 seconds, it sounds an alarm so you can go check on your baby. You might try this...for peace of mind. I'm not sure what it is, but I found this online, and it sounds similar. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/babysense_monitor.htmLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755406094939522956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15766662.post-76783837834943990762008-07-26T04:08:00.000-07:002008-07-26T04:08:00.000-07:00That was from Stephanie, not Brian.That was from Stephanie, not Brian.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433464360218799647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15766662.post-79260076168790682162008-07-26T04:07:00.000-07:002008-07-26T04:07:00.000-07:00Hey Valerie, if it makes you feel any better you h...Hey Valerie, if it makes you feel any better you have way more tolerance for your own kids than anyone else's.<BR/><BR/>Emily, we used a positioner with Asher, too.

I have never done it, but I wouldn't judge you if you did.<BR/><BR/>That said, have you tried a Back to Sleep positioner? The angle and the comfort may help. It helped with both of my boys. Babies like their bellies because it helps with any gassy issues, and a positioner will help with that, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15766662.post-32374723055288991892008-07-25T16:41:00.000-07:002008-07-25T16:41:00.000-07:00We put ours out in the car until they quit. ;-)We put ours out in the car until they quit. ;-)Nick M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04150932669955468765noreply@blogger.com
