Re: Repositioning repsonse for Christie

June 1, 2005

Hi ,

Brachy babies really love that comfy flattened area on the back of

the head to sleep. I not surprised to hear that he wants to get

into that position at all costs, lol! My own daughter was a

brachy/plagio combo. We were so fortunate that out of the blue she

started sleeping on her sides of her own accord right when we

started repo. I agree with you, that sleeping with no pressure on

the back of the head at all, as with tummy sleeping, is better for

brachy than sleeping on the back of the head. Will you be trying

the sandbag idea you received in a previous reply? There are some

good nighttime repo pictures from our own group repo'ers in the

Files/Repo Headquarters/Repo Photos if you'd like to check them

out. They may give you some additional ideas for homemade sleep

positioners, etc.

Would you keep us posted on how your nighttime repo efforts are

going? Nighttime repo is definitely the most challenging part of

repo.

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)
