Now that baby Elliot has gotten pretty good at rolling back to front, he has discovered that he really likes sleeping on his stomach… Sunday night I checked on him at 1:30AM and, since I was awake anyways, flipped him over. He promptly kicked up his legs and flopped back over on his side for another 30 minutes until he was ready to eat. I can stop him from rolling all the way over when he sleeps in our bed, which makes him mad, but I guess there is not really anyway to stop him in his crib. I wish I could stop my anxiety over it. How much time has to pass before you stop checking on them to see if they are still breathing?
You never stop checking
When they start dating you don’t close your eyes until you hear them pull the car in the drive…and check their breath for alcohol!
I find it almost impossible to fall asleep unless I’m on my stomach. I get the breathing worry, but I also understand where Elliot’s coming from. Tummy is yummy.
Many babies prefer tummy sleep, when they have a strong neck like Elliot’s, I don’t think there’s a prob.
Dr used to recommend tummy sleep.
Go figure!
Kate, you realize he is going to be taller than you at age 5 right?
How tall was I at age 5?
