Re: which side touching mattress?

October 10, 2005

Hi Christie!

It is so nice to have success stories to keep me going with the

repostitioning. I found Remy's photos and they look great and really

help me feel that it's not too late to try. Noah's case is very mild

and I could live with it, but I really want to see if repositioning

can improve it. He falls asleep on his own (since we " ferberized " a

month ago) so he decides which way he faces initially. But once he

is asleep I am successful at turning his head if it needs it. I have

not been checking it at all after I go to sleep though (he is

sleeping through the night now, too). Should I be setting an alarm

clock to check it during the night after I go to sleep? This would

be a bummer, but I'll do what I have to do.
