Re: Flips and sleeps on tummy

Selena:

My son Hayden did the same thing after he had his helmet for about 10

days. I was worried about his sleeping on his face [sometimes he is

totally face down on the crib], but the ped said if he was

uncomfortable, he'd move. His tummy is now his favorite position to

sleep in, and even in his carseat he tries to turn, and gets very

frustrated when he can't!

hi,

Bri slept in her crib for a nap yesterday (because she just

couldn't get to sleep anywhere else)and just couldn't get to sleep

untill she rolled onto her stomach. Her helmet has a turned up

ridge on the back of her neck so I think this makes her uncomfortable.

She also woke up with a nasty red mark in the shape of the sideburn &

it took forever to go away (so it seemed) She also puts her face down

into the matress sometimes and I know what you mean it makes me

nervous too. Tonight will be her first time sleeping through the nite

with her helmet on. (hopefully) Good luck to you and wish us luck

please.

April-

Had did it go sleeping through the night? Hopefully Bri handled it well.

Let us know! :-)

Selina,

My i also sleeps on her stomach...she will not tolerate being on

her back at all anymore. She usually wakes up with some red marks

around her face where the band presses, but the marks fade as soon as

she is up and around. This has been happening since she was banded

back in Novemeber, and we have never had anything come of it (skin

break down, etc.) So as long as the red marks fade once Ian wakes

up, you probably won't have a problem either.

Best of luck to you!

Sincerely,

Jaya Dong
