Does anyone let their babies sleep on their stomachs? I was super close to putting him in his crib last night on his belly, but just couldn't do it. My sister's 2nd boy always slept on his stomach, as did everyone from my generation. There is just so much "back to sleep" promotion that I can't bring myself to do it.
Both of my sister's kids slept on their stomachs from basically day1. I hated putting them down like that when I watched them, but it really was the only way they would sleep. They are both fine (1 and 3 years old)
I don't know if I would do it, but I also think if my child truly wouldn't sleep, I'd probably try it. She took a very long nap once on her stomach and honestly never moved. Her big head was planted on its side. That's what happened with my sister's kids as well...

No bail money needed. It was close though. I think I've explained this to everyone in my family who holds her that you don't need to jostle her around bounce her and pat her and talk to her and jiggle stuff in her face. She prefers to just be held quietly and look around. Preemies are easily over stimulated.
First thing grandpa's wife does is start rubbing her back. Then bouncing her. Then her and my mom are passing her back and forth. Then my mom starts bouncing her. So now she's sobbing actual tears and everyone is like, oh what's wrong? Let me bounce her some more, all babies love that.
I got her back and calmed her down, explaining again that she's easily over stimulated. Tried again. Bouncing patting talking. Luckily they live about 1000 miles away.
I just got a text from a friend with the picture of her new baby girl! When we last talked Friday she was 2cm and having contractions. It killed me all weekend to not bother her! I have another friend who had her son on Tuesday. Yeah for new babies and playmates!
I'm confused by all these pics in the baby uno thread of babies in sweaters and fleece jammies. My kids are still wearing short sleeves and shorts. Is it supposed to be fall or something?
Lol. I'm confused by all of the short sleeves and summery outfits. Today was warm and sunny and about 50.

Ha! Today it above 60 and my kids was in just his diaper most of the day (he runs hot ). I can't wait till it's cooler and I don't wake up to a sweaty baby or he doesn't overheat me while feeding.

N is a hot box too! He gets PISSED when he's hot. Not that I blame him though.

im confused as to what to dress her in at all. Yesterday it was 83. Couple days before it was in the 50s.

I've been told one more layer than what you are wearing, or the same as what you are wearing. But I usually am hot (prob hormones) so I do one more layer-- so if in wearing a tshirt, she gets a tshirt and a long sleeve or just a long sleeve shirt. The issue is at this age they don't know how to regulate- so if they're cold they can't warm up or hot they can't cool down.

60 feels freaking cold to me, that's when I put her in long sleeves and pants!
