[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an informal poll.  Since the big push for back to sleep wasn't until the mid '90s, I was wondering if the majority of you put your babies to sleep on their stomachs?  Did they sleep better than siblings placed on their backs?  Did you also have lots of things in their crib?

I am a soon to be FTM, and am terrified of SIDS.  I thought hearing from experienced parents who did the "cardinal" SIDS sin and still had kids who thrived would help ease my mind.  Not that you're under any obligation  :wink: .  How old are your kids and were they put to sleep on their back or front?  Thanks!![/quote]

I'm not sure I really understand your post.  You are a FTM, your baby isn't even born, so it's not like he/she's already struggling with sleep.  You find the thought of SIDS terrifying.  Then why are you thinking about putting your baby down on their back?

My mom put me to sleep on my stomach, and all of my siblings too.  It's just what they did in those days.  And fortunately, we all survived.  But there's no question that babies put to sleep on their stomach are more likely to die.  My anecdata doesn't change that. [/quote]
