It couldn't hurt to try one out.

Nope..... he still sleeps sideways in the crib sometimes. I have never even heard of them.

We used them, but it was because my babies liked it...it made them feel, I guess, like they were being cuddled.

Also, I was slightly paranoid about them being smothered by their blankets, lol.

well we use one now, but when i wake in the morning, he is sideways and out of it. i do need something though b/c doc said he is getting a flat spot on the back of his head from always sleeping with his head to the left, she said it isnt bad and it isnt torticollis, but she said wqe need to try and even it out......

We have two body postion wedge things, not sure if that's what you are talking about...one is where you can adjust the wedges to let her sleep on her side or to keep her in one spot..the other is like a pillow almost that is elevated..kind of like a slant..with adjustable wedges..is suppose to reduce acid reflux...I personally think the two we have are total wastes of money at the moment. Maybe she needs to grow into them. But, I find her wiggled down into the middle of them..and they are suppose to go right under the arms(the wedges) so she doesn't move. But, she finds a way. I am so paranoid she will smother or something, I stopped using them.

Did she give any suggestions how to do that? What about more tummy time during the day rather than laying on his back? Or more time in the bouncy chair and make sure he doesn't turn his head that way by putting a dish towel behind his head to encourage it to turn the other way?

We use one (have since he was born). I cannot say it helped really in the beginning, but I think it kind of gave him the feeling of being cuddled. Now we would not be without it! We have found Christian will sleep all night if he is on his side. As soon as he turns on his back or tummy, he wakes up. We use it to try and keep him on his side.

**edit - fixed spelling**

My little Christian used one while she was in the bassenet, but once she moved to the crib she didn't want it anymore. She naturally goes to her side when we lay her down and has never prefered one side over the other. She will go to sleep on one side and wake up on the other. It is really fun to watch her do that.
