Re: New Here! Looking for a GREAT sleep positioner...

[Guest guest]

Hi Shelby,

welcome to the group. I don't know much about sleep positioners. Our

doc recommended NightForm, but I didn't try it (by then we had already

decided to band). there are several successful repo moms here, and

some tips in the files section if you haven't already seen them. Are

you taking pics of baby A's head? It is a good way to monitor your

progress. Since the babies are only 2 mo old you should have a good

chance of avoiding a band. I wish I had know about repo at 2 mo. Whe

we asked our doc about our daughters flat head all we got was " don't

worry " .

take care. -christine

I think a few of the sleep positioners are at Babies R US. I know

several people recommended Night Form (which is what my sister got)

but when I posted questions about it there were several moms that

said they didn't like it. This one came highly recommended but I

haven't used it... http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?

Good luck.
