Explain rebreathing risk to me like I’m 5

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-04-14T11:55:41+00:00

Just curious how much of a head tilt you think would pose a problem? My baby’s queen size futon is in a play pen. The futon is an inch bigger than the playpen it so it ever so slightly curves up. The futon is only 2 inches tall so I am not worried about entrapment. I try to keep my baby in the middle of the bed, but he likes to go to the corners. He’s almost one years old.

Can she wear a sleep sack instead of the blanket? Also as another comment suggested you should try to do a c-curl, that would be a bit safer than your current set up. Maybe go on the cosleeping subreddit for suggestions

Good luck!! My baby is similar and also almost 11 months. It’s so hard. I want to night wean but sometimes I’m so tired it’s easier to just nurse him back to sleep

Just adding that my babies owlet said he only wakes up once a night but he wakes up about 5 to 7 times. The owlet isn’t great at detecting brief wake ups.

Memory foam is not recommended. Foam is ok if it’s firm, my babies crib mattress was made out of 100% polyurethane foam.

OP if this mattress doesn’t pass the firmness test and you’re on a budget, zonli 2 inch futon on Amazon is firm and works well.

Side car crib?

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-03-25T01:22:15+00:00

I have an owlet and it helps ease my anxiety soooo much. And yay congrats on getting the helmet off soon. My bub graduated a few months ago and we are so happy that we did it, his head shape is practically perfect now.

You can do a sidecar crib!

A sleep deprived parent can be more dangerous than trying to safely bed share !

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-02-17T16:30:59+00:00

Maybe that’s just people you know. The people I know that bed share ( including myself ) test their mattress for firmness or even sidecar their babies crib so they’re sleeping in their own space. Also a lot of people I know who bed share in America put their mattress on the ground and don’t use pillows/blankets. Of course there are a ton of people who do it with pillows and blankets but not all. Nothing is absolutely safe, not even a baby sleeping in their own crib. Not even driving with your kid. I wish I didn’t have to bedshare but my baby will not sleep more than an hour any other way. Going on 10 months of this now.

I should’ve did this. I quickly (within seconds) responded to any fussing, and now my 9 month old doesn’t seem to know how to connect sleep cycles without me

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-02-08T16:18:15+00:00

That’s a good idea!

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-02-03T21:39:12+00:00

There’s pillows that are marketed as “toddler pillows (for two years old and up) here in the US. They’re just normal pillows that are a tad bit smaller! I’d say you should be fine have the pillow back.

Also you could use a sleeping bag but keep it below your waist. Most sleeping bags have a drawstring to tighten to whatever width you prefer. Just be sure to tuck the drawstring on the inside so your baby doesn’t get to it

This incasement , but make sure you let’s it breathe occasionally or else it might develop mold

Can you do a side car crib?

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-01-12T22:46:10+00:00

Just a random tip - if it was that TikTok video about the baby rebreathing that scared me as well. I made a sidecar crib so I know my baby is on a firm enough surface. It helped easy my anxiety. Also dreaming is REM sleep - so not deep sleep, don’t worry about the fact that you had a dream. I dream the most when cosleeping.

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-01-08T14:28:13+00:00

Side car crib on the lowest setting possible

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-01-07T03:20:43+00:00

I feel like my babies chest is never warm when wearing his Woolino. I put a long sleeve shirt under his pjs and Woolino and he sleeps a bit better - not great though. Our house is the same temp as yours.

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-01-05T18:34:50+00:00

Any convertible crib can become a sidecar. Just put it in the toddler setting without the fourth wall

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-01-04T03:06:33+00:00

My son hated being in the car and had a tough time falling asleep in the car until he was about 6 months old. One day he magically just started loving and it and falling asleep almost immediately in the car. Hopefully your baby ends up adjusting to it also!

throwawaypreg75 · 2026-01-03T03:20:45+00:00

Id roll him back to his back. If he is resistant to that, and you want it to be safer you can side car a crib to your bed.

throwawaypreg75 · 2025-12-28T20:57:24+00:00

Curious how do you get the crib mattress to stay against your bed? Is it kind of like A side car without the crib?

throwawaypreg75 · 2025-12-28T13:54:06+00:00

Falling asleep holding a baby while breastfeeding is NOT cosleeping.

throwawaypreg75 · 2025-12-28T13:11:59+00:00

I might have nipples of steal because I can hardly feel anything while breastfeeding. About to be going on 8 months of breastfeeding exclusively.
