Re: Please HELP: Is there a special pillow?- positioning

[Guest guest]

Robin,

We have the Boppy Noggin Nest pillow to use when he is laying on his

back to play or when he is in the bouncy seat or the stroller, but

it isn't safe to sleep in. Our 4 1/2 month old son sleeps with

wedges on both sides to wedge him into a side sleeping position. It

works for the first few hours, then he sleeps completely on the flat

spot. If you find anything else that works for you, let me know.

Good luck. -

Hi Robin,

Nighttime repo is so tough once they become wiggle-worms!

If your baby is scooting away from any sleep positioner that you

have tried? There may be some ideas worth trying that previous

group members tried for nighttime repo. Check out the files/repo

headquarters/repo photos folder: foam headrest, memory foam pillow,

grandam's nighttime repo set. Some other parents have tried sewing

a bag of rice to one side of the back of the baby's pjs to tip them

up off of the flat area and encourage them to turn their head. In

the links/repo and tummy time/repo products folder, there is a Sassy

wedge sleep positioner that has a wedge shape under the head area

that is supposed to tip the baby's head to one side or the other.

Good luck, and if you come up with an idea or product that does work

for you, please share it with the group!

Hi Robin...I want to second the things that Christie has suggested

to you. There are so many ideas in the Files section under

repositioning headquarters. Nighttime repo is tricky, and sometimes

you have to get creative, but if the things in the Files section

don't grabl you, maybe you can use them as a basis for your own

creativity. And like Christie said, we are alwasy looking for more

ideas so if you come up with somethingon your own, please let us

know. Good luck and please keep us updated on how you and Owen are

doing.

There’s a pillow at Target in the

baby department that’s marketed as a Plagio prevention tool. The

box may refer to it as flat head syndrome… I can’t remember.

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but it’s worth taking

a look.

Good luck!

Fondly,

Hi Robin,

If your baby is scooting away from any sleep

under the head area

that is supposed to tip the baby's head to one

side or the other.

Good luck, and if you come up with an idea or
