    staying in that position for a long time is particularly bad for a bub, becuase their bones are so soft & still developing, it can cause a lot of problems later in life, as I understand it, it can force the spine into an un natural position. best person to speak to is probably the maternal & child health nurse closest to your home, or a midwife, they will be able to provide you with the relevant literature, or a physio that can explain the long term damage, that you might not connect to an infants sleeping position.

    Thanks for the ideas!

    The cocoons/papoose sounds good, where can you purchase them from?

    I think most baby shops stock them and if not should be able to recommend somewhere. i saw some on ebay too. all were second hand but hardly used so very good condition
