Baby Tips 101

After trying a few baby sleep pillows and returning them, we finally hit the jackpot with this one. It has an open support for his little noggin and he’s sleeping through the night perfectly. It’s nice to know I won’t have to worry about my baby getting a flat head or deal with the frustration of using a corrective head rest. So far, this baby sleep pillow is letting our baby sleep without having his head roll off to his left side (like he normally does).

And it seems I’m not the only person that stumbled on this. The Boppy Luxe Noggin Nest Head Support is ranking with 4.5 stars at Amazon.

Here’s a sampling of the reviews there:

“I had my doubts that a pillow could actually correct such a severe problem so I decided not to buy it that day. A month later his flat spot was much worse, it was so bad that it didnt look like you could even fit the other half of his brain in the left side of his head! I then decided to go ahead and try it. I was very diligent and used it everywhere. Within a month his flat spot was gone! This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. What a miracle! There are very few times when you can say a baby product changed your life but this one certainly has.”

“This pillow is excellent for babies—I bought it for my 7 month old when I noticed her head flattening and after a month I can see a big difference.
This baby sleep pillow is a must buy!”

I’ve been searching for a baby sleep positioner for a while now. I tried a few and ended up returning them for one reason or another. The one that finally one was the Baby Delight Inc. Supreme Snuggle Nest. It has a gentle incline to help breathing and digestion, a removeable night light, washable mesh and a few other things.

I can’t be that crazy, because a few others are also raving about this baby sleep positioner…

“The selling points for use were the size, and the light. It fit perfectly between us on our king size bed, and the light allows me to breastfeed and change the baby without overstimulating her. And because I had had a c-section, it was wonderful not getting out of bed all the time.
Two weeks later, I was ready to put her in the bassinette again. The best part was, because of its size, the nest fits in it perfectly. My daughter never knew the difference between bed and basinette. I am planning on using it to transition her to the crib as well.
I would recommend this product to anybody that wants to co-sleep, had a c-section, or just wants to provide a snug place for their little one to sleep without worry.”

Here’s a link to the baby sleep positioner if you want to learn more.

For a while there, my baby was sleeping for long periods of time. He’s only 22 months and sometimes gets in 12 hours of sleep! Well, it turns out I shouldn’t worry too much about this. I read in the baby sleep solution that this is typical behavior and nothing to be concerned about. While listening to the audio, I also learned about a few techniques that will make it a bit easier to put him to sleep as well. I’ll try these out over the next few days and report back.

If you’re baby sleeps a lot, don’t worry so much. But if he or she isn’t falling asleep easily, check out the baby sleep solution. So far everything I’ve heard is really, really helpful.

I’m a dad that works long hours. My wife falls into the same category. I’m the one that stays home and watches the baby. As it turns out, I’m also the one to put the baby to sleep. But lately it’s been tough. My little guy has gotten into the habit of falling asleep on my chest. Then, when I get up, he gets up too….except he starts crying! Then it’s the same process all over again. I’ve been struggling with this for a while until I stumbled upon the baby sleep solution on Google. It’s getting a lot better so far. Good, solid techniques in there. I’ll post back more info in a few days.
