Obsessive, Compulsive Repositioning

[Guest guest]

Lori,

I wish that repositioning was something that I had been told about. My ped

never suggested it and I was a first time mom and didn't really know any

better. Repositioning is something we never really tried. is a very

active sleeper and has been for some time - believe me when I say the girl

repositions herself!!!! I don't think you are obsessive - you just want to do

right for you baby and there's nothing wrong with that!!!

Hi. Just wondering if anyone is so used to repositioning, that they

can't stop. My son is 19 months, has been in his helmet for 9, with

3 to go, and I can't stop repositioning him. I'll wake in the middle

of the night to turn him, even though he is way past the

repositioning age, and he has his helmet on. Does the need ever

stop? Just wondering if anyone else is crazy like me. Lori.

Hi Lori:

Of all the OCD issues you could have, I'd say this is a good one!

There's nothing wrong with it, but I would say at your son's older

age and being that he's been in his helmet so long, repositioning

probably isn't necessary any longer. You're a great mom! Have you

seen any more improvement in his helmet lately?

Lori,

You are one dedicated mom, thats for sure!!! I don't think you are

crazy at all, maybe just a little sleep deprived. ;o) But like you

mentioned yourself, he has his helmet on so he really doesn't need to

be repositioned. 3 more months to go? That will surely fly by!

Good luck, and try to sleep!
