Re: new with lots of questions

Hi ,Welcome to the group! I'm currently repositioning my 7 month old son, . We've been aggressively repositioning him for 3 months and have seen a big improvement! His pictures are in the photo section under P. (I've just updated his pics.) I will be glad to help you with any repo questions you may have. I'm not sure if Christie has replied yet, but she is the repo moderator and a great resource for advice on repositioning! It sounds like you have one aspect of repositioning taking care of itself since your daughter willingly sleeps on her tummy at night. It seems like nighttime repositioning is a problem area with many repo'ing parents (myself included). For daytime repo, several members are using the Baby Bumbo seat. There is a link in the repo link section if you would like to check it out. One aspect of the seat that makes it appealing is that the baby's head doesn't rest against anything. (This may help since you have two little ones to keep up with!)Again, welcome to the group and please keep us updated on the progress of both of your babies!
