Rolling over at night with DBB! HELP!

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

My son Cameron (10.21.04, bilateral club feet) is now in the DBB, but

he only wears them at night (he usually sleeps for about 12 hours).

Recently, he discovered the fine art of rolling on to his belly, so

now he prefers, or at least trys desperately, to sleep on his side.

He even began night-waking because he's so uncomfortable, and it's

interrupting everyone's sleep. No matter how hard we try to keep him

on his back and in his shoes, we inevitably wake in the morning to

find him on his side with his shoes kicked off or twisted around on

one foot. Has anybody else had this problem? What did you do??

I know that it is a no no, but I let my son sleep on his belly.

don't feel bad.. i let grace sleep on her stomach since she was about a month

old... she had problems with gas because she couldn't draw her knees up in the

casts... i started letting her take naps on her tummy and she was so so much

better and then i started letting her sleep all the time on her tummy and she

was a totally different baby... so the tummy thing may work... good luck

Aleksander likes to sleep on his side as well, and we found a sleep

positioner that works really well. He isn't in the DDB again yet

(he had problems and is in healing casts now), but when he is back

in the DDB, we will put a small pillow behind his legs to keep them

propped up, and perhaps another in between them to support his

knees.

The sleep positioner we have is basically just two foam wedges, with

a fabric cover that connects the wedges. It works great, and he

sleeps so much better when we use it...and it helps to prevent him

from rolling onto his belly since there is a wedge on each side.

We got it at Baby Depot, which is part of Burlington Coat Factory

here. I've also seen something similar at Target, Babies R Us and

Toys R Us, although the one we got was only about $5 and the others

I've seen are closes to $20.

I know it is a no no, but I let my son sleep on his tummy as well. I

would lay him down on his tummy with the DBB on and then he would

scrunch is feet up under him. This is the only way he was ever

comfortable.
