Maybe 14-16 months?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1043101 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 23:00:17 +0000 Freckles 1043101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flipped it at around 14 months. I almost forgot about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1043056 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:59:42 +0000 immabeetoo 1043056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: He is 9 months so it didn't really stress me to be honest. I wish I'd tried earlier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1043009 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:17:50 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 1043009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I don't think it's a coincidence! I got on board with the softer mattress idea after a good friend told me how her terrible sleeper baby slept 10 hours straight the first night on a softer mattress! I'm all for safety recommendations but babies are still human and need to be comfortable as well :)</p> <p>Eta: how old is your LO?</p> <p>Eta2: my LO went down from 3-5 wake ups to 0-1 as soon as we got a softer mattress! Teething, vacation and getting sick screwed it up for a few weeks but this week he is STTN again with just one wake up to nurse :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1042993 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:09:52 +0000 immabeetoo 1042993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok.. so two days after I flipped it to the softer side, LO started STTN for the first time in his entire life and has kept it up! I bought a soft mattress for his PNP and this weekend while we traveled he still did!!! I guess it could be a coincidence but... whoa. Worth a shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1015429 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:33:22 +0000 twinmama 1015429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally forgot about this! But I didn't notice a huge difference between the two sides on ours. I'll have to flip and see what happens! Kids are 12.5 mo now so should be ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1015408 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:29:39 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 1015408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: i do have a quilted cotton one. it fits like a fitted sheet so i really like it. i haven't heard anything about wool ones - are they supposed to be better?</p> <p>this is what i have:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000BUQNXW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000BUQNXW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1014787 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 23:00:15 +0000 autumnlove 1014787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still haven't flipped it at 19 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1014773 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 22:27:01 +0000 immabeetoo 1014773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: thanks! we flipped it this morning, it feels so much nicer! do you have a mattress pad? i've read about wool ones before... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1011966 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:53:10 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 1011966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in search of a softer mattress and discovered the 2 sided ones when L was 8 months and so bought one then and used the "toddler" side right away. His sleep drastically improved! We had a crap hand me down, hard coil plastic mattress before. </p> <p>However the "recommendations" are typically to flip at one year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mattress-is-2-sided-when-did-you-flip-it#post-1011961 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:47:00 +0000 immabeetoo 1011961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't find anything on naturpedics website; we have their 2 sided mattress. It's hard as a rock and now that LO is older - 8 months - and extremely mobile it seems safe to flip to the slightly softer infant side? Right? </p>
