Induct me into the bad mama club for unsafe co-sleeping

[geminigirl]

I'd been on one side and piled pillows on the other side while we were going to sleep. The doorbell rang, I got up to answer it and found that she'd squirmed her way onto one of the pillows and fallen asleep like that. So I took a picture.

She is just so cute - and I'm guessing deceptively peaceful looking :-D

She's got her moments, for sure. I look forward to the day she achieves mobility with equal parts joy and dread.

She is very cute!

I showed my friend Caleb for a nap the other day. The difference between #1 and #2

#1 in the middle of an empty crib, no blankets, no bumpers on back.

#2 laying on a crib, with a fleece blanket on top of the sheets, on the tummy, with a little blanket on his back.

The reason why SIDS deaths are less common with back to sleep is that babies don't sleep on their back :)

Now that she rolls over in her sleep, she seems to sleep longer for her long stretch at night. Both of the adults in the house are enjoying the nights she goes down between 8 and 9, wakes between 12 and 1 to eat and then goes back to sleep until 7 or 8. Cayne, in particular likes those nights because they both get a good night's sleep, but he also gets some time to spend with her in the morning having cuddles and play.

Tummy sleeping is the evil. The reason why babies don't die when they sleep on their backs is because they don't sleep on their backs.

SHE"S GOING TO DIE> YOU ARE KILLING HER!




Ok, we got that out of the way.

And you can see what a terrible mother I am, right?

Oh, please, your nightmarish unsuitability to be made responsible for even a ficus is a given.

She is so wonderful.

All my kids preferred their stomachs. Danny slept on his stomach with his butt in the air. I don't have any of those pictures scanned. I should do that in my copious spare time :).

You should take advantage of your convalescence!

And she is wonderful. Taking photos like that is almost enough to make me forget that it took an hour to get her to sleep.

This photo is now my desktop though.

BAD MAMA.

;)

Even if she pressed her face into that pillow, she'd be fine. I'm sure she's got loads more neck control than a newborn. :)

Eeek Eeek Call the sleep police

I am sure part of the reason many babies sleep better on someone is that we let them sleep on their tummies when they are on us but don't when we put them down.

This is the cutest Nacho picture yet.

I loved it so much I made it my desktop.
