Hi, I have a dilema at the moment. After going through a month where my (now) 6 month old would only sleep for 1-2 hours at a time at night, in desperation I gave her a comforter to sleep with. It's a winnie the pooh one from Big W, with a small plush toy attached to a square of velvety-type cloth about 30cm x 30cm. The comforter really helped with her sleeping. However I am now worried about the risk of SIDS. I've gone into her room a few times and found the square part over her face and I'm worried about it making her overheat or restrict her breathing. I've tried taking it off her but she won't sleep without it now. I thought I could maybe cut and sew the cloth square so it is alot smaller (maybe 15cm x 15cm or less)- do you think that would help? (so it doesn't cover her face as much). Are there any other ideas? Does anyone know of any "safe" comforters? She already uses a dummy as well...
