I bet most people never cared about sleeping positions until they become parents. That — based on my experience.
Neither Gabby nor Paula as a baby made “free fall” a habit — a sleeping position where a person lays on his/her front, the front facing the bed. But I would normally do that: laying my baby tummy-down on my tummy, when she’s not comfortable.
Like today, I haven’t slept at all and it’s already 4 am. Gabby’s been waking up every 10-30 minutes or so, always almost crying before I held her up.
I think that position helps because my heat would relieve whatever cold my baby is feeling and the pressure on her tummy helps suppress any pain. I’m so sleepy and I have to go to Makati from Laguna a few hours from now. Unfortunately, I have to keep awake to ensure that Gabby gets a good night sleep. Normal mommy duties, just like any night.
So just sharing how it looks like!
Forgive me for that stressful look.
thanks for taking me to your blog!hehehe. that’s a good pic, i remember the days my son used to sleep like that 🙂
Yeah… And it’s amazing how we, parents, just seem to discover awesome things that work for our kids. I didn’t know before that this sleeping position was beneficial except that it makes my baby more comfortable! Thanks for dropping by!
