3 Mistakes That Parents Make When Using a Baby Sleep Positioner

If your baby is using a baby sleep positioner, this article is a must read article because it discusess the common mistakes that parents have done especially the new parents. The 3 mistakes are parents don't check the baby sleep positioner regularly, still using it after their baby can roll over and afraid to move it from their baby. I will try to elaborate each mistake shortly and as simple as I can.

1. Don't check regularly
This point means that many parents don't check whether the baby sleep positioner that their baby use still suits to use. You need to remember that your baby is growing in every single day. However, the growing rate for each baby is different from each other. Your baby may grow slower or faster. But in this case, don't make a comparative between your baby with other babies. What you need to do is check whether there is an airflow between the baby sleep positioner and the rib of your baby. The airflow is to indicate the fit of your baby with that sleep positioner. Day by day, this airflow will become smaller and closed because your baby is outgrowing that sleep positioner. If there is an airflow which is about 1 inch for left and right (so the sum is 2 inches) side of the rib, then it will be fine. It's a good indicator.

2. Still using it after your baby can roll over
Normally, babies will start to roll over at the age of 4 months old because at this time their back bone have become strong enough and they have enough muscle to roll over that they got enough control to move themselves if they should need to while sleeping. Don't overlook this problem. There are too many parents out there that don't know about this matter. However, if your baby still using it because he or she always ends up with face down while sleeping and you check the fit of that sleep positioner regularly, then you are exempted from this category. The main concern of this mistake is to parents that have no reason to let their baby using the baby sleep positioner after the months old barrier. Your baby doesn't need it anymore (assuming that they sleep fine).

3. Afraid to move it from their baby
This is another mistake done by many parents. They want to move that baby sleep positioner, but they always end up with the feel of guilty and sympathy when their baby crying and can't sleep without using it. You made a big mistake. At some point, your baby needs to learn to cope with the real environment. You need to learn on how to transition your baby to sleep without using a baby sleep positioner. It's impossible for your baby to sleep forever using this supplementary tool, right? This mistake normally happens to the parents that their baby crying and can't sleep without using the sleep positioner. Just move it. Your baby will cope with the new environment of sleeping. It's just a matter of time.

If you have made any of above mistakes, don't feel scare because it doesn't help you in any situation. What you need to do is find the solution from the article in this blog regarding to your mistake. Practice it so that your baby has the joy moment when using his or her baby sleep positioner in the past.

Why Your Baby Need A Baby Sleep Positioner?

Real Life Experience of Using Baby Sleep Positioner

Why your baby need a baby sleep positioner? It's simple. You're an adult and your baby still a baby. While sleeping, it's normal for a baby move to left and right. But the problem arises when your baby end those movements with face down. It’s dangerous. No, it's really dangerous.

Sleeping like that will cause breathing problem for your baby. How much beauty babies end up die while sleeping? Most of them have breathing problem and caused by lie with face down while sleeping.

I’m scared, worried and can sleep well too while my baby was sleeping. As a mother, who wants their children to get sick and face dangerous situation especially when they are still a baby, a beauty and lovely one. So, I’m starting to find the way so that I and my husband can sleep well too (without worried) while our baby sleep. After asking up friends, families, search engine and doctors at that time, then we ended up with one solution at that time. Yes, baby sleep positioner.

At first, we’re scared too use it because we heard it’s not good because it causes breathing problem. But, I wonder how this thing can cause breathing problem? From what I saw, it just positioning and prevents our baby from moving to left and right while sleeping. I decided to try it.

The first time trying it, I just sat beside her near my antique canopy bed while reading a book of baby care. I will take a look at Jina (my baby) for every 10 minutes, just in case something bad happen like people already claimed. I think, I felt asleep one hour after that. After two hours I sleep with her, I woke up. I’m really worried and checked on her immediately. But she is fine, just fine. She sleeps beautifully without any problems.

A week after using baby sleep positioner, I talked to a doctor about that sleep positioner (I got a fever and goes to clinic). He also claimed that sleep positioner for baby is good. So, why some people claimed bad things about it? Because they don’t buy a good baby sleep positioner. Yes, they chose the wrong size. Not all babies have the same size. It depends on the rib size of your baby. Choose the wrong one sure will give your baby the breathing problem.

After that, I’m cleared about all the confusions that people talked. And Jina still using her baby sleep positioner without any problems.
