Hi Nicky,

How are you hun????

Colby sleeps on her stomach and pretty much always has. Like Lachie, Colby has always head excellent head and neck control.

I did'nt sleep her on her stomach while we were in hospital (god forbid!) but when we got home i tried her with it and she took too it straight away. Occasionally she'll prefer to go to sleep on her back or her side. Now that she is in the cot i don't have anything in with her except a sheet. She rolls around around in the cot most of the time but only when she is awake.

I went to a Sue Cox Breastfeeding Conference last friday and she brang up the topic of SIDS and Prone Sleeping (sleeping on stomach) which caused quite a stir amongst some of the people. I kinda felt a little hurt that i might be doing the wrong thing by sleeping Colby on her stomach. I mentioned to one of the ladies and she said that it was my personal decision. She was right. It is mine/our decision. In saying that, i do think about, and am aware that, Prone Sleeping can increase the risk of SIDS.

Lachlan is your baby and you know what is best for you both. And as Natalie has mentioned, you need to do what is best for you both.

Good luck with it all hun....
