Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Heidi - Thanks for the advice. I bought the Boppy Noggin Nest that someone else recommended for the swing. I tried putting him in it with that but it still looks like it he is leaning part of the flat part of his head against it so I think I am going to try to avoid the swing as much as I hate to do that... he sleeps so well in it & it really helps me get my work done. But... I think if I just put him in the swing when it's time for his nap & take him out as soon as he falls asleep that might work. I tried it today & he slept a little on his side once I took him out of the swing. So, hopefully tomorrow it will work. I think I will probably buy the jumparoo in another month or so when he can hold his head up better. He goes in the exersaucer but I have to put a lot of blankets behind his head so it holds it up more for him. He is pretty good but I don't trust it that much. He did a lot better in the exersaucer today... I find if he has something to look at (I put on the Baby Mozart tapes) he lasts a while in it. Sorry to hear that the repo didn't work for you. How old was Braden when you started it? And how long did you try it for? Thanks again! Adrienne > > > > > > Hi all - I just found this group while doing some research on > babies > > w/ flat heads.
