Do you / Will you be using a sleep positioner

Another one of those "I dont know if I need things".
What are your thoughts on the sleep positioners?

ETA - I mean for the baby, not for us trying to sleep.

debbie, i was told that it is not needed my my baby basics instructor. she said that it is just a think for retailers to sell.. it is better to put a recieveing blanket to prop the baby up rather than a positioner. so i am not getting one.

I got one with DD and I used until she started rolling over. I thought it was great since by baby spit up a lot in the beginning. It takes your mind off of the choking issue.

I wont be using one because in everything Ive been reading it keeps saying how on the back is the best position for baby to be sleeping and that although a positioner is better than the stomach, it is not as safe as flat on the back as far as SIDS goes....just what I've read so far.

I didn't use one. I rolled to receiving blankets together. I put both DS and DD on their sides with the rolled blanket behind them and she they both usually ended up on their backs or they stayed on their side.

Re: Do you / Will you be using a sleep positioner

I didn't bother. Babies don't really move when they are sleeping, so what's the point??
