As you know, he was in Children's until he was 5 weeks, but they weren't concerned about bumpers or him tummy sleeping. In fact, because he had reflux, they actually recommended tummy sleeping him.<br />Also, they make this pad that baby can sleep on and it is a monitor - if they stop breathing an alarm will sound. Just thought I'd throw that out there!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113682759720857089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834179075939215308.post-24132221658302234472009-12-06T09:42:15.049-08:002009-12-06T09:42:15.049-08:00Hi Kendra!

You guys are going to be such great parents :)<br />We used bumper pads I remember (Jeven's 11 1/2 now though!)but she slept on her tummy as an infant and did just fine in her crib. <br />I'm just so excited for you guys!!! <br />Love,<br />JenJen S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00090046916272000696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834179075939215308.post-82240707622702537792009-12-05T23:21:13.986-08:002009-12-05T23:21:13.986-08:00We had an Angel Care Baby Monitor (still do, but w...We had an Angel Care Baby Monitor (still do, but we don't use the sensor anymore, our girl is 20 months) that senses the baby's movement and breathing. So we used bumpers until she was a bit over one. We took them out when she started standing up in her crib a lot and standing on the bumpers (though they were squish-able so it's not like she could use it to help her get out of the crib). We took them out once and then put them back in for a bit because I got SO frustrated with her losing her pacifier. When the bumpers were in we would put a few around the crib and if she woke up crying she'd usually find one (once she was old enough of course). When she started waking up and sticking her legs through the rails OVER the bumper we took them out. :) I always figured once she really moved enough to get her head into the bumper she had the skill to pick her head up too, so she could turn it. And the sensor on our monitor helped me a LOT too.Kayceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469960707724284744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834179075939215308.post-52484487832867332902009-12-05T21:55:03.816-08:002009-12-05T21:55:03.816-08:00We used the bumper pads.

I know they make some that you can buy at Babies R Us or Target that are mesh so the baby can breath through them. They aren't cute, but are very safe. You could use those until the twins were able to move and then put the "cute" ones in the beds. <br /><br />I was so nervous about SIDS as well. My sweet cousin lost her 4 month old from SIDS a few years ago. It had nothing to do with bumpers, blankets, etc. It was strictly that she just stopped breathing. I think whatever you chose to do will be just fine. You will be checking on them pretty often anyway.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660234581154788266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834179075939215308.post-16798176595193489782009-12-05T20:30:34.273-08:002009-12-05T20:30:34.273-08:00That is SO cool that he felt him move!!

On the bumper pad thing....I took it out after the first few nights because I was worried, but then I put it back when he started moving in his sleep so that he didn't bump his head on the crib. He was probably 3 months old?? I've broken all of the "rules" though because Kaden is a tummy sleeper. He refused to sleep on his back, so I just prayed a lot and bought a monitor that had a sensor pad and would alarm if he stopped breathing. It helped me sleep at night! Oh and that's so great that you can use a sling with twins because they are the greatest invention!Krystahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166943429909424120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834179075939215308.post-4872151423882344672009-12-05T20:21:56.936-08:002009-12-05T20:21:56.936-08:00I tried putting Ellie in her crib without her bump...I tried putting Ellie in her crib without her bumper, but she was just too darn mobile and would get stuck in the crib rails and even bang her head on them. I figured that since she could move herself enough to get from the center of the crib to the side, she could handle not getting her face stuck in the bumper. That was me though, and I know some people who don't put anything in their cribs.<br /><br />Because of her reflux and crazy moving skills, she did sleep in a glider seat that we have for her first few weeks home. (We tried the crib first but she was all over the place and didn't stay with her head elevated.) But she's been in her crib for a few months now, and we haven't had trouble with the bumper.<br /><br />I'm sure you already know about these, but we loved and Ellie loved her Halo brand Sleep Sacks for sleeping in. The smaller sizes come with a swaddling feature, and it felt a lot safer than swaddling for sleeping in her room alone in a blanket. I did swaddle her in blankets lots for cuddle time though.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590663104294212853noreply@blogger.com
