[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP - I'm the first PP who suggested the R&P. We used the R&P from about 3.5 months to last week (6 months) - DS started sleeping really poorly in the R&P because he's found it more comfortable to be on his side (now that he can flip), and we were buckling him in to make sure he didn't flip over in the middle of the night and suffocate himself. He was waking pretty much on the hour trying to get onto his side. We were TERRIFIED of starting him back into the crib because he'd done so poorly in the crib before we got the R&P, but he did OK the first couple nights (he sleeps on his side in the crib now and that seems to be helping). Crossing fingers it continues to go well. I will admit to doing many, many google searches about tips and tricks to moving them from the R&P to the crib. Did I mention I was terrified? [/quote] My newborn has learned to roll over to her side. I freaked out because I didn't think newborns knew how to do this. But I think she did it as a way to relieve her reflux symptoms. Maybe lying on their side alleviates the pain? My older DS also had reflux. He learned to roll over onto his tummy by four months. I put rolled up towels and tried to keep him on his back but he yelled and fought the rolled up towels til he was successfully on his tummy. The first two night I did not sleep a wink because I, too, was terrified he'd suffocate. I was the picture of paranoia, putting my finger under his nose to make sure he was still breathing literally every fifteen minutes. After the second night I just realized I couldn't fight it and let him sleep on his tummy. He had good head control by then and was able to lift his head so I figured it was okay. Now with my newborn, I have a feeling she may learn to roll over on her tummy a lot earlier...and I'll be even more terrified!![/quote]
