SIDS??

There is a lot of talk about SIDS so the campaign, "Back to Sleep" was put into motion to keep babies on their backs when they sleep. If you don't do the back then you need to do their side. With all the discussion of SIDS and having a baby, it will scare you to death so you fear letting your little one sleep on their tummy till they can roll over.
Abbie sleeps great on her tummy. We do it during the day in her pack and play and keep a close eye on her. Last night she ate at 11, 12:30 and didn't go back to bed till 2, up at 3 for a bit and fell back to sleep, up at 3:30, back down at 4 then up at 6:30. I don't know about most of you, but that schedule does NOT work for me.
So, I head to the store today to buy a gadget. You put them to sleep on their tummy and if they stop breathing, an alarm sounds. (Now, if the alarm sounds, I am not sure what to do then...). It is called Angelcare Movement Sensor. Tonight, Abbie will sleep...on her tummy! I will let you know how that one works for us.
