He eventually stopped sleeping on his side after awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180882 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:17:37 +0000 Ms.SK 1180882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The twins have slept on their bellies almost since the first week. They were in our room with us in their bassinets starting at 6 weeks. I let go of the fear when I knew it would be the only way to get some sleep. My son also had to have his head touching the top of the bassinet or he wouldn't sleep. At about 6 months they outgrew the basinets and made their way back to our bed:pillows and all. Some kids are just like that. But, if you are going to be up all night worrying and still not sleeping it may not be worth it. I say do whatever you have to do get the most sleep for everyone in your family, not just the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180865 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:08:43 +0000 Smurfette 1180865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180864 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:08:42 +0000 mamimami 1180864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it. In fact, our pedi and nurses showed us how to roll the blankets! She was so spitty we actually thought it was safer that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180840 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:40:06 +0000 looch 1180840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did that. What I did was make a blanket sausage, I tied it up with string and cut the ends very close to the knot so the blanket wouldn't unroll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180822 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:15:54 +0000 BelugaBean 1180822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO used to roll on her side all the time. Around 3 weeks, I actually laid her down on her side for naps sometimes so she'd sleep. Since she started sleeping in her own room around 5.5 months, she's always slept on her stomach so I guess she just didn't like her back (I think it has to do with her mild reflux). I say leave him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180812 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 05:41:47 +0000 mjane 1180812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a little bit of co-bedding (the last few hours of the night) up until LO was about 3.5 months and she almost always slept on her side for that chunk of sleep I worried at first but definitely got over it--sleep is KEY. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180811 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 05:38:50 +0000 MrsTiz 1180811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO rolls himself onto his side all the time and started it day 1. I leave him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180800 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 04:57:09 +0000 Penny Lane 1180800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it. I don't know if that makes you feel better at all! hehe. </p> <p>my LO was never a back sleeper. even now at 14 months he will only tolerate being on his back if he's super sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-on-her-side-in-the-crib#post-1180798 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 04:49:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 1180798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been up with my 1 week old literally all night. (It's 430am here.) She has been waking back up every time I put her down no matter what I do. My mom told me to roll up blankets &amp; position on her side in the crib so she doesn't roll on her belly. Out of desperation I tried it and she is finally sound asleep. I was thinking I'd roll her to her back in a bit... But I am terrified she'll wake up. Please tell me I'm not negligent for letting her sleep like that? We are in the same room, which reduces SIDS risk. </p>
