[blparent] {Spam?} babies sleeping.

[Judy Jones]

Hahahaha, I will add to that imperfect, as fars as we can tell, flies,
right?

I heard the same things you did about babies sleeping.  Having lived
overseas, I can tell you the Germans were firm believers in having babies
sleep on their back, and it has been said that many Germans have flatter
heads in back because of this.  Whether or not this is urban legend, I have
no idea.

One of the rationales for having babies sleep on the side or tummy was to
help eliminate any gas on the tummy.

Hi guys.  Ok I am curious and I was wondering if some of you would share
your thoughts.  Years ago, when my daughter was born, she is forty now, I
was told both by my mom and by the nurses in the hospital to either have my
baby sleep on her side or on her tummy. 
They said to have those bumper pads in the crib so that my baby would not
hurt herself.  No pillow of course.  Now they are saying that the baby is
safer on her back.  No blankets or toys.  How do you keep baby warm enough?
I can see no pillow or toys that they could smother on.  What are the
thoughts ladies and gents?  I haven't had to deal with babies for quite a
while so I am curious.  My daughter wrapped her kids up and put them on
their sides when they were little.
The Good Lord never made anything imperfect, but mosquitos come close.
