Yeah we all survived on our bellies... And I watch the monitor like crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-victorybut-at-a-cost#post-245026 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:26:08 +0000 Weagle 245026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a tummy napper too, but still sleeps swaddled on her back at night. We started around 9-10 weeks at which point she went from one nap a day lasting 2 hours in my arms to three naps a days lasting 2 hours+ each. She has great head control and I'm constantly checking on her in her room and on the video monitor. And I'm not planning on telling the pediatrician that she naps on her tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-victorybut-at-a-cost#post-244987 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:11:56 +0000 Mrsbells 244987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby sleeps on her tummy too, not during naps but at night. My pediatrician said to avoid doing this if I am not watching her, but this is the ONLY way she will sleep and my mom said this s the only way I and my siblings slept too. Her crib is in our room and I do wake up often at night to check on her and so far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-victorybut-at-a-cost#post-244979 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:09:26 +0000 LouLouBelle 244979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been in the midst of a MAJOR sleep regression. She will be 4 mos on Sunday. She stopped napping, stopped sleeping through the night, and is a cranky pants because she is over tired. Well, at the advice of my mama (who raised three babies, all of whom she was instructed to place in the crib on their tummies, bc that's what they did then!) I started putting her down in her crib for naps on her stomach. And it is working! Granted, she is only napping for 30 min, but it is better than nothing! We have our next dr appt on Monday and I have a feeling they will tell me she needs to be on her back still...but we have found her on her belly in there already one morning, she can roll back to front (not front to back), and it is working. </p> <p>What would you do? I am still so scared of SIDS but her life (and ours) will be so much better if she gets the sleep she needs! </p>
