- Re: mattress pads or egg crates-

[Guest guest]

CHristine,

OUr little guy sleeps on his back. Elijah HATES tummy time. On a

good day if he is well rested and didnt just eat i can get about 15

minutes out of him.

Tummy time is important because it helps build muscles and also

keeps them off thier noggins. Because Tummy time is such a

challenge i found somthing that works great to at least keep him off

the back of his head for a while, its a bumbo seat. Everhear of

one?

If your little one sleeps on her tummy, can she roll over? If so i

dont think you have to worry about suffocation. Developmentally

they say SIDS goes way down when they can roll over, plus the memory

foam is pretty firm so i bet she would be OK.

When you look for foam aks an employee to take the foam out of the

bag if they dont have one on display. Some foam is thicker than

others. the one i chose for our son was on the thinner side. I

think that is why it was less expensive.

Good luck with finding a pad for the crib, keep me posted.
