Thanks ...it is always good to be

reminded as to some

things that are recommending for preventing plagio.

Molly, I don't have the Night Form and I actually never bought a

sleep positioner since our ped. strongly advised against it. I've

gone back and forth about borrowing the Night Form from my sister

(her little one is exactly 6 months older than Grant). I know when

we were trying to figure out how to use the Night Form it seemed

rather confusing. My sister (I don't think ever used Night Form

with the varying positions because it was so confusing...I think she

just used it for a wedge). I was the one that told her to get the

Night Form as that is what was recommended to me but then when I

posted with questions about use the people that responded had

negative things to say. SO, I say all this to say that I have no

idea what to do with the sleep positioner thing.
