[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all the fault of back 2 sleep. If I had to do it all over again, I'd do tummy sleeping. Because my child would not sleep on a flat surface for the first 10 weeks. My DH and I had to take turns holding her. It was horrible and I still am traumatized by it.

You can't just tell parents "flat surface only on their backs" and then shrug when a newborn won't sleep that way. That in and of itself leads to dangerous outcomes.[/quote]

Very much agree.  I never used RnP sleeper because I thought it was cheaply made and didn't like how it positioned baby's head.  I returned mine he say after I put together- oh and the mold issues that came up in the news grossed me out too.

I did use stomach sleeping with my first at 5 weeks old out of desperation.  I also used an Angelcare monitor because I was so paranoid about SIDS.  She slept great on her stomach.  I didn't even hesitate with my other two.  I put them on their stomachs also at about 5-6 weeks old when I just couldn't get them to sleep swaddles and flat on their backs.

I believe stomach sleeping in an an empty crib with firm mattress is MUCH safer than an infant sleeping in a RnP, swing, car seat, bouncer, or on the couch or arm chair with exhausted parent or co-sleeping in your bed.  [/quote]
