Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hi all. I haven't been reading or responding lately. I'm finding it hard to keep up. Things have been really busy. We are also getting a new computer soon which should help things. This one is such a dog and really slows me down. Anyway, I have a concern. 's flatness is on his right side so that is where the buckle is. When he sleeps on his belly with is head facing left, the buckle is down against the mattress and it looks like his face is smushed into the mattress. When he faces right he is fine because the buckle is not in the way. His tort is on the right so facing left isn't a problem (which seems to be resolved anyway)....it isn't his neck it is the buckle that forces his face downward. It makes me crazy and I haven't been sleeping well because of it. Everytime I wake up at night, I go and check on him. I told Charlotte a CT and she said there is nothing that can be done and if I'm uncomfortable about it, to turn him over. So that is what I do. Anyone experiencing this same problem? ann/ NJ DOC band 7 Weeks Wed Doing very well!! Flat spot is starting to pop...it is starting at the bottom by the neck and working it's way up. So exciting!!!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 ann: I can see why you would be nervous about this! It sounds like this is 's favorite sleeping position and he won't budge unless you reposition him. I never had this problem, so I have no miracle cure. I don't think CT would be able to do anything about the buckle. Hopefully, he'll find a different position to sleep in soon. That is terrific news his head has started to pop out! Abby's head also began to round lower & slowly worked it's way up. Keep it up. Good luck with him sleeping Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > Hi all. I haven't been reading or responding lately.
