Two questions about baby sleeping?

I have my daughters crib by my bed, I always let her have a blanket after she outgrew the "swaddler" blankets. I also had her sleep on one of those things that holds the baby in a position on her back, but once she could roll over all by herself, i let her sleep however she wants. I stillg et nervous though, sometimes she sleeps on her tummy with her bum in the air.

She's fine! My daughter was the same way! At this point either you let her lay comfortably on her stomach and check her often, or keep getting up every few hours because she's uncomfortably! It's perfectly fine to give her a blanket! In fact babies sleep better with something soft and cuddly! I started by wrapping her in her blanket, then when she got older I gave it to her to snuggle with! She's now 3 years old and she LOVES her blanket. She wouldnt and still wont sleep without it!

Answer to the first question, if you're worried about her rolling over in her sleep, you should place two large pillows on each side of her. It's hard for a baby to roll over large pillows.

Second answer, once you have put her down to sleep place the blanket over her, but place her arms over the blanket. If she has the ability to reach for the blanket in her sleep, then use a heavier blanket or no blanket at all.

I am going through the same thing. My lil one is 3 months and he can roll over now too. They say you should put them on their backs up till one year. I would keep turning her over no matter what.

Also stop letting her sleep with that blanket. If you take it away when u see she's sleeping fine, but if you're not watching her then absolutely not.

Let her sleep on her tummy. She can roll herself over, so if she starts having trouble breathing, she will roll. The "taggy blanket" is OK, too. She is comforted by having it, and she might sleep all nite with it.

Give her a chance to sleep at nite. You do not have to check on her every few minutes. If you are that scared, get a baby monitor so you can stay in your own bed.

We have twins that are 6 months and they both sleep on their stomachs now. We were both worried about it at first but they sleep through the night more now so... We are letting them sleep on their bellies.

Continue to put her to sleep on her back.

I think it would be safe to let her have the blanket but don't put anything else in the crib. No bumpers, toys, etc...

First of all if she is happy with her taggy blanket that's fine let her have it.

At nearly months she has enough head control to move and turn her head. If she is face down and is sick she will naturally turn her head away because by now she is able to. Children who lack enough head control to do this should still be sleeping on their back.

properly to your first question- all new borns ask for what they want- if she's crying for food then she's hungry, and meaning her physique is utilising the food for growth and utilising it up. So she's starting to be rapid and making up for her low beginning weight. My daughter replace into born only over 6 lb, yet positioned on weight extremely right this moment and quickly have been given to the the final option place on the charts. For generations mothers have fed their babies on instinct- do not permit any pseudo-technology dictate the form you feed your toddler. Burping is relatively considerable. attempt gently tapping your toddler;s returned and listening to how the sound differences. try this only after she's eaten. faucet her decrease returned and you will hear a thud. save tapping up a centimetre or so, till you notice a distinction in the sound; the sound will replace into extra holllow or echoey. it relatively is the place there's a bubble on your toddler., which HURTS guy!. faucet in this area approximately as quickly as consistent with 2d. for a pair of minute. ideally, have your toddler abdomen down on you knees, or over your shoulder (yet not on her returned). save going till ultimately you hear a belch, and then do somewhat extra. (Bottle fed babies want extra burping) Your 2d factor is extra troublesome. She won't sleep if she's hungry, needs a nappy replace or feels under pressure. At 6 weeks your toddler is punctiliously non-egocentric- if she cries it relatively is with the aid of fact her physique needs some thing . (babies cry for interest, to illustrate). determine the room is dark- youthful babies at the instant are not afraid of the dark, it extremely is a few thing it extremely is instilled into them by utilising adults. attempt some classical music- Bach or Mozart is ultimate - you will desire to purchase CDs extremely designed for this. (digital mail me in case you will not be able to discover them!). finally, if not the rest works. provide your self a pat on the returned for being a supermom, so super toddler will not be able to undergo to area with you! relax certain that it will not final, and you will look returned in this era with longing as quickly as its long gone-complicated to relish now I now yet, think of like this: there's a destiny!!! stable success xxx

hmmm. I know you know it but your daughter will probably be fine rolling how she chooses. every decade or so the "rules' change anyways. when I was ababy it was on the side, when my parents were little it was on the tummy. I just read that those who usually die of SIDS are most often babies with respiratory problems to begin with, or who've had breathing probelms before.

As for the blankie...I have a little girl who is only 3 months and she sleeps with hers every night. I watch her and she moves it off of her face when it's in her way. I had one when I was her age. That having been said, it's horrible advice to give you because all the books and whatnot say to keep stuff out of their crib. Personally I don't see it as a huge threat. I worry myself all the time, but lets face it, we all hear about SIDS but they don't know for sure it's cause. and above and beyond that it's not as though kids are dropping off left right and center from it. security blankets help a child to learn to comfort themselves when mommy can't be there. if it's with her and she wakes up in the night she might use it to calm herself back to sleep. It's ultimately your choice. If you do choose to leave it with her, please note that keeping the child's bed clear of things like a blanket is recommended to aide in the possible prevention of SIDS. The question is really how MUCH does it really help taking away the blanket, and how you feel about it. SIDS can happen either way. if you want to play it safe, then you will want to take it away. In my case, I'm stupidly taking the risk with it because I don't think it's the deal breaker. I don't truly beleive if I put it in with her that she's at THAT much of a higher risk for suffocating, when it comes to wieghing the odds. If we followed everything they tell you needs to be done in safety prevention we'd be ridiculously paranoid all the time. We can't keep our babies ina little box where the rest of the world can't get in. So, at our own descretion, we need to decide where to draw the line. The obious stuff we do to protect them, or the stuff we feel strongly about. But like I say, if we did it all they'd be in a bubble, essentially, and beleive me there are a lot of opinions out there to "support with research" that almost everything under the sun will either kill, harm or emotionally cripple our babies. From detergent, to taking our babies in public until after a certain age, to how they eat, sleep, poop, what products they can or can't have, the list goes on and on. I keep in mind that generations before somehow managed with a lot less knowledge. the death rate of babies, granted, was higher, but it's still the question of how much is too much? Do we decide to never take our baby in a car because they can crash? a heck of a lot of babies die each year in car crashes. But no, because people decided that level of protecting them was ludicous. So why, because cars are essential to our routines, is it okay to let them drive with us, but not okay to let them have a blanket? We send kids home with parents who drinka nd smoke and don't supervise their kids or parents who don't hae the first idea how to care for a child, but books urge precaustions like a proper crib, made after a cetain date, which is in some cases the least of babies problems. They won't let you line the cribs anymore with bumper pads, yet they let the same babies lie and sleep in bassinets, which are often covered on all sides. Go figure. To be safe, follow the obvious stuff. car seat safety, don't put tons of stuff in your crib with baby, etc. I myself won't use bumper pads, even though I'm skeptical about their dangers (my daugher is getting her legs caught in the bars and getting bruises because their no pad to stop her...is it worth it?) and I follow as much as I can. Use your brain, keep an eye on your baby, use am onitor and check on her and if you decide to try letting her keep the blanket, watch how she usually sleep with it. If it's often up by her face, then by all means take it away again. And if you decide to not let her keep it, there's no harm in being smart and cautious. good luck!
