Warning about sleep positioners.

Please watch the video…I have heard so many horror stories about sleep positioners, but so many people continue to use them.

Please pass this along to anyone you know with little ones, or that have little ones on the way

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

Thanks for posting!

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

thank you . I actually just took the positiner out becaue Sara always ended up in the middle of it. I never did plan to take the bumpers out though Who knows.

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

d'oh! We used a sleep positioner with Alex until she was 4 months!

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

We used our positioner for one day. I almost had a heart attack when I woke up and saw my son had wiggled down into the middle of positioner. I don't even want to think what could've happened

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

I have the Inclined to sleep positioner and my pediatrician ok'd it. My daughter really moves alot and I think I would feel worse without it. I am comforted that she is on an incline and stays in position in case she spits up. I watch her like a hawk anyway Some sleep positioners are really cheap and crappy but I highly recommend the Inclined to Sleep one.......sorry

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

I had one like this, with the air vents...I wonder if this is still considered equally dangerous? Jake doesn't need it anymore, but I did use it until he was able to roll well.

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

How sad was that!?!

I just said to my husband that we need to take off our bumpers because they are very cushiony(sp?) and Steven loves to sleep with his face up against!

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

Wow- how sad was that

I am going to pass that along to all my friends that will be having their babies arrive soon. I know they will sure appreciate that video clip.

Thanks for sharing

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

Scary. I used the exact one in the video until Andrew was 4 1/2 months old.

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

How sad...and I use a positioner similar to that...but I think it has those airvents...

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

I originally had the Air Flow Sleep Positioner on my registry, but I took it off because I read an article that said it contained TOXIC CHEMICALS!! Here's one article that talks about it article
I bought a different one, but I haven't really used it much. I think I will get rid of it. Why take the chance?

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

I use the positioner but Jacob is swaddled so tight in the miracle blanket, he doesnt move an inch. Once he is out of the swaddle in a month or so i will remove all objects from the crib. I even have stuffed animals in the very corners of the crib. But again, thats because I know he cant move. The swaddle is like a straight jacket. JMO

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

last night was the first night Alyson wiggled OUT of it.....she was kicking so hard from her gas that only her legs were left in it.

I took it away for the rest of the night. When I take her to bed with me, she seems to like to roll on her side and sleep with her face up against my pillow (I put my arm there to keep breathing space)

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

That is so scary. I just took it off my registry. Thank you so much for posting this!!

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

Bumping this! I remember reading this when I was pregnant with Kaitee. I think its important for new parents to see! Sorry for bumping an old post!

Re: Warning about sleep positioners.

I can't get the video to work...can someone please post the one they are talking about? Or are they talking about all of them?
