Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hello Becky I would think you should rotate between the other side and her back, but not on the flat side. Sinse you never know when will have a growth spurt I would def. watch that she is not on her flat.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Becky, I wouldn't think one night could make a difference, especially at her age, but I also don't blame you for worrying about it after all that repo work! Hopefully she won't make that a habit though! , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma > Hi everyone... > > I need a little help with something. is 8 months old.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi Becky, I let Remy sleep on her back again when she was 14 months old, and by that time she was out of the crib on her own futon with pillows (a much softer sleep surface than her crib mattress - added insurance against regression.) My main motivation for waiting that long to allow her incidental sleep time on her former flat area, was that I waited until we were seeing absoultely no further improvement from repo. Since we were seeing tiny rounding up until about 12 months of age, I reasoned Remy could feasible re-flatten up until that point with excessive time on her flat area up until that age. It then took me a couple of months until I didn't freak out when she wanted to sleep on her back here and there! Now with Remy, and this might be different than , there was a small area of residual flattening still there after we " finished " repo, so I also reasoned that could be a springboard to her head always settling on that one spot and starting some re-flattening -- hence my waiting until a more advanced age to permit back sleeping once again! I think if you are still seeing any kind of improvement from repo efforts, it might be wise to err on the side of caution and try to prevent sleeping on her former flat area. If is very nicely rounded, with no remaining flat area on which to settle during those incidental back sleeping episodes, I wouldn't worry too much. Please keep us posted on 's sleep position, and let us know what you decide to do! Take care, Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy) > Hi everyone... > > I need a little help with something. is 8 months old.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi Becky, This is such a tough question! I often think that getting them to sleep through the night (every night, consistently) is one of the greatest things in the world and I hate to do anything to disrupt that. But, that being said, I would start repoing her again if you notice a trend with her back sleeping, on the flat spot. One night should not make a difference. It certainly won't make all of the rounding that you have accomplished in the last 4 more go away, but you don't want to " relapse " and get too comfy on the flat spot. Let us know how it goes the next few nights! - mom to Aidan > Hi everyone... > > I need a little help with something. is 8 months old.
