Prevent Babies From Rolling Over in Bed





Prevent Babies From Rolling Over in Bed - Make sure the room where your baby is sleeping is kept at a comfortable temperature. The baby may begin rolling around in an attempt to get more comfortable if he becomes overheated while sleeping.

Swaddle your baby, especially if your baby is a newborn. Swaddling makes a baby feel safe and secure, thus allowing the baby to sleep more comfortably.

Lay your baby on his back every time you put the baby in his crib. Make sure to lay the baby on his back after nursing or feeding in the middle of the night as well.

Cover your baby for bedtime, making sure his head is exposed and the blanket only goes as high as the baby's chest. Make sure your baby is positioned close to the bottom of the crib.

Avoid using pillows, rolled towels or sleep positions to force your baby to sleep on his back. Your baby may choose to sleep on his stomach once he can turn himself over. You will not be able to prevent the baby from rolling over once he can reposition himself in the night. It can be dangerous to try to force back sleeping after a baby can roll, as anything you use to keep the baby in place can cause suffocation.

Having a baby requires constant care and attention. The issue of sleep is a troubling one for parents that have a fear of sleep-related problems such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Pediatricians and the government promote back sleeping to stave off instances of SIDS. It can be challenging to keep a baby sleeping on his back, especially after the baby has learned to roll. It is necessary to get a baby used to sleeping on his back as early as possible. - by eHow
