I have always encourage my babies to sleep on their sides as newborns but

they sleep better on their stomach so end up that way eventually. I have

never worried much about it.

I was completely paranoid about allowing my daughter to sleep on her stomach but

she won't sleep any other way and she is just turned a year old today and is

perfectly healthy. She is also completely unvaccinated. Maybe there is a

corelation?

Does your baby sleep on his/her stomach?

I've read a lot about the SIDS/DPT connection and have begun to

believe that sleeping on the stomach has nothing to do with SIDS, and

that's it's all the DPT. Just wondering if anyone here thinks it's

safe to let a newborn sleep on their stomach if they don't get the DPT

shot. 30 years ago doctors told mothers to NEVER let babies sleep on

their backs, and now that's all we are told to do. My son never slept

well on his back and therefore had to sleep in a swing for 5 months.

Once he was good at rolling over, I let him sleep on his stomach and

he slept through the night! I would like to let my new one sleep on

his stomach if he can't stay asleep on his back, but am a little

worried about SIDS. Maybe he'd be okay since we aren't doing DPT??

From birth, My daughter (almost 5mth) could only sleep on her stomach... In the

beginning I was paranoid and constantly checking in to make sure she was

breathing and even went as far as buying one of those mattress

(sensor) monitors.  Only used it for 2-3wks.  She sleeps better on her tummy -

and guess what.. mommy and daddy sleep better as a result too :-)

I do agree that SIDS is more likely to be vaccine related.

My second son would only sleep on his stomach as a newborn if he wasn't in a

swing. This was in 1992 just when it was hitting the news about how this could

cause SIDS. He also had three DPT's as an infant--and I mean the old one, not

the " new and improved " DTaP.

I remember being worried but more tired than worried. He slept with me so that

took a lot of the worry off, too. He nursed so I was in sync with his cycles. I

think that has a lot to do with it, too--nursing, co-sleeping.

I wouldn't think a thing of the positions, except obviously to watch to see his

face is kept clear of blankets, etc.

Oh, and ironically, for the past 15 years, he's always slept on his back.

The risk of SIDS is associated with EVERY vaccine. In my opinion, the

majority of SIDS cases are vaccine-induced these days because it is

listed as an adverse reaction for every infant vaccine. I have also

heard of babies dying in mothers' arms shortly after the Hep B vaccine

(some as early as 15 min later). The doctor(s) then labeled the cause

of death SIDS despite the fact that the baby was not even in a bed!!

With that said, decades ago (before vaccination came about), babies

were placed in unsafe sleeping conditions which could have very well

have been the blame in previous years.

Another important point that I wanted to mention is that mercury can

only be excreted from the body by using the body's bile. Well, an

infant does not produce bile until roughly 6 mo. of age and there still

is mercury in the majority of vaccines (even mercury free). Does this

same rule of them apply to all other toxins? I am still investigating

that. Does anyone else know?

My mother raise my sisters and I in the 60's and 70's. At that time,

the doctors told her to put us on our stomachs in case we threw up.

His reasoning was that we would not suffocate on our own vomit then.

So all four of us slept on our stomachs as infants. I know the trend

now is to put them on their backs. Unfortunately, some babies don't

like that.

I also read quite a bit about SIDS. I think the vaccines do play a

role, especially in premies. There are other factors of course.

My son stopped breathing the day after his 2 month shots. He was on his back

taking a nap. Obviously in his case position had nothing to do with it. Luckily

I did have one of those sensor monitors and was able to get to him quickly and

rouse him. With my daughter I swaddled her and propped her on her side with a

rolled up receiving blanket and she slept like an angel. She will be 9 months

old Friday and almost always sleeps on her stomach.

I have always held a firm belief that SIDS is what they label a

vaccine-related death when they don't want to blame the vaccine (any

vaccine, not just DPT/DTaP). A way to keep things " neat and tidy " on the

vaccine front, so to speak. My two-year-old always slept on his stomach as

a newborn - he wouldn't sleep any other way. My newborn now seems to be a

stomach sleeper too... I think it helps move gas out of the stomach better.

I should note that I am a co-sleeper, too, which helps take a lot of the

worry out of the SIDS thing for me.

[Guest guest]

ABSOLUTELY, ROLL THE BABY OVER (on his tummy) AND LET BOTH OF YOU GET A

WONDERFUL NIGHT'S SLEEP. I am a labor and delivery/pediatric nurse and

have been for 10 years. " The Establishment " insists that I " educate "

all parents about the " back only thing, " and I absolutely refuse.

Especially with a spitty baby this is an extremely dangerous practice.

I just tell parents to place the baby is whatever position is

comfortable for the baby (go figure - can you imagine the lack of sleep

all of us would have if someone tied us down into one position and that

being our most uncomfortable position - and told us to have a good

night's sleep.) Unfortunately, when it comes to OUR kids and " THE

EXPERTS " common sense has gone out the window.

I have 7 children (ages 24, 22, 18, 8, 8, 6, and 2). With the first

three (born from 1984 - 1990) I was told (and agreed with) the belly

baby fad. In 1999 my twins were born and I was a postpartum nurse who

instructed people on the " side is best " mentality (which I was OK with

but still preferred bellies.) Well, the next baby (2001) I was a labor

and delivery nurse and clinically was still telling parents of

the " side lying " strategy. The nurse taking care of us (who knew my

personal and professional history) came into my room, saw my baby on

his side, and promptly, and somewhat indignantly, flipped him to his

back and " re-educated me " to the " new data that just came out a week

ago that supports the practice of 'only the back.' Well, I quickly

told her of the history with my other kids and then kind of irritated

like responded with " Ya know, when y'all figure out how I'm supposed to

lay my SIXTH baby just let me know! " Then I promptly and in front of

her flipped my baby on his tummy and said " THAT'S HOW HE'LL STAY! "

My final nugget of advice: " Remember your babies are YOUR babies, not

ours (those of us who work in the medical field). Do what YOU feel is

best for YOUR precious little ones. "

PS - I agree that DPT is probably the cause of SIDS - DO NOT VACCINIZE,

STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AS PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF YOUR CHILDREN, AND

REFUSE TO BE BULLIED

PSS - Common sense - don't lay a baby on anything with lots of fluff

while on the tummy - Can you say " DUH'?

Hope this helps!

I was always extremely worried about SIDS until recently since my

baby was nearing and now is over a year old and I suppose out of the

danger zone. I do too believe that vaccines cause SIDS, but also

believe that mattress fumes may have something to do with it and is

why younger siblings and lower income family babies (used/old

mattresses are more likely to release the fumes) are more likely to

die of SIDS and also why back sleeping would help. I think the

vaccines completely violate the baby and then possibly the mattress

fumes push over the edge completely, or it could be completely one or

the other. Anyways, I DO NOT believe that babies just die for

absolutely no reason or that it is such a complex and mysterious

reason that even the most intelligent doctors can't figure it out.

Just how the industry won't admit to vaccines being able to cause

autism, they sure will not admit to vaccines causing SIDS, as that is

the biggest fear of most parents and surely many more will not

vaccinate if that information came out.

My baby slept in his bouncer until 3 months, then I got a mattress

cover from babysake to prevent any fumes and besides 4 vaccines at 2

months, did not vaccinate again, and baby slept always on stomach. I

really felt these two things would definitely prevent something so

tragic from happening, however, being a mom, I admit I was still

worried and until my son was about 10 months (and occasionally

still,) I would wake up several times in the night and place my hand

on his back to make sure he was breathing. I feel silly having done

that now.

So does anyone know if any unvaccinated babies have ever died of

SIDS???

With my first child, I didn't know about the vaccine dangers. I was always

trying to keep my baby on her back. By the time I had my second, I was not

vaccinating at all, and had no fear. I found my children slept more soundly on

their stomach. I personally believe, that the mattress chemicals could

aggravate respiratory problems. But that vaccines are the trigger. In other

words, they cause the respiratory problems in the first place. It is important

to keep toxic chemicals away from our children and ourselves. But I don't think

a mattress alone is the deadly factor. And having a blanket over a face is not

going to suffocate anyone, unless it is literally wrapped around to block out

the air. A normal healthy baby, with no respiratory issues, should be safe and

sound. Also, my motherly instinct kept me alert to my baby even during sleep.

I have always been able to wake regularly, always just before feeding. My girls

never had to cry for a feed, as I was always there when they stirred. Probably

why a lot of us suffer post natal, because we can't get the quality sleep. We

never co-slept much. But my babies have always been within arms reach in the

early months, and only a few feet away, once in a cot.

Thats just how I feel anyway. I can understand the fear factor though. None of

us ever want any harm to come to our children. We can never be completely worry

free. We have a dam on our property, which is a worry for me. Thankfully it is

empty most of the year. Oh, can't forget the snakes either.

Thats it. We can do so many things to keep our babies safe, just by using

common sense. And I always found that I was worried about my baby choking on

spit, when laying on her back. So found myself way more comfortable letting my

second lay however she wanted. She actually had a rather uncomfortable looking

way of laying on her side with her back and head arched back. But she grew out

of that after about 8 months.

My daughter wouldn't spend more than a half hour asleep on her back, but

slept for hours on her stomach. The one thing other than vaccines I would

I've read a lot about the SIDS/DPT connection and have begun to

believe that sleeping on the stomach has nothing to do with SIDS, and

that's it's all the DPT. Just wondering if anyone here thinks it's

safe to let a newborn sleep on their stomach if they don't get the DPT

shot. 30 years ago doctors told mothers to NEVER let babies sleep on

their backs, and now that's all we are told to do. My son never slept

well on his back and therefore had to sleep in a swing for 5 months.

Once he was good at rolling over, I let him sleep on his stomach and

he slept through the night! I would like to let my new one sleep on

his stomach if he can't stay asleep on his back, but am a little

worried about SIDS. Maybe he'd be okay since we aren't doing DPT??

I believe the toxins would get through it. Also the mattress pad would have

to be made out of wool or some other organic non-treated material.

I'm not sure, but I think SIDS, crib death, cot death, etc. has been around

since the beginning of time. I do think that the risk has increased

dramatically and is correlated with environmental factors such as vaccinations,

mattresses, tobacco use, etc.

well, for my oldests first 3 weeks hed ONLY sleep on my chest...it was

then i realized it wasnt me he needed, it was simply that he was on his

belly. being a new mom i was buggin out about putinghim on tummy, but

thats the only way he'd sleep...same with #2 and #3. None of them

wanted to sleep on their backs, only on their tummys. fgranted i co

slept with #2 and #3, so their position was irrelevant....

i think the main concern with sleeping on tummys is that theyll get

face down and be unable to turn their head for air, as well as theyll

sleep much deeper when on their tummies, leading them to foget to

breath...same deal as being fressed to warm.

When you think about it, putting them on their backs is daft given that

their reason is to stop them choking on vomit. Think about first aid - when

you put someone in the recovery position - arguably for the same reason -

you place them so that they *must* stay lying face down. Alright, not

directly on the stomach, but I'm sure you see my point?

Thats it. We can do so many things to keep our babies safe, just by using

common sense. And I always found that I was worried about my baby choking

on spit, when laying on her back. So found myself way more comfortable

letting my second lay however she wanted. She actually had a rather

uncomfortable looking way of laying on her side with her back and head

arched back. But she grew out of that after about 8 months.

I wrote an article about SIDS, vaccines and toxic gases in mattresses.

Scroll down to the second part - the link that says Factors that may

Increase the Risk of Crib Death (including the vaccination link).
