do the memory foam crib pads really help?

[Guest guest]

Hi

Okay so I've read some of the aggressive repositioning information

and one of the suggestions was to use memory foam in things like the

bouncy chair. Does this really help? I could get a large piece and

use it in the crib, his bouncy chair, when he has kick time onthe

floor mat(that's laying on his back and swatting at the hanging toys

over his head and of course he kicks he gets so excited....).

I went out tonight and bought a Bumbo seat - my 4 month old is on the

small side and I hope he fits into it. I just fed him and laid him

on his side, wedging the blanket on either side to help keep him

there - when he sleeps he's all over the place - if he wants to lay

on his back he will. I have a facing forward snuggly - I think I'll

start giving him time in that tomorrow.

We have an appt. with our pediatrician in 2 weeks so we'll see what

she thinks.

I'm curious though about the DOC bands - what are they made from? do

they really only weigh 7 ounces?

Also is anyone on here from Toronto, Canada?

thanks everyone,
