I heard Mom talking about how they say "back to sleep" when laying babies down to sleep. Well I always slept better when I was laying on my belly on Mom or Dad's chest. I was starting to get a little better about being laid down on my back in bed but some nights it would take Daddy 2 hours to get me to stay asleep. Finally one day it dawned on Mommy to try having me sleep on my belly.
She and Daddy talked about it and agreed since I already have such a strong neck and can lift and move my head it was ok. They also have this Snuza thing they clip on my diaper at night and it monitors my breathing. If it doesn't detect me breathing within 8 seconds it vibrates to stimulate me and it beeps to alert Mom and Dad. Those to things together made them more comfortable putting me on my belly. Well...I think it's safe to say we are all much happier. I sleep longer and most nights once I'm laid down I stay down. No more popping my big blue eyes open the second I hit the mattress.
Last night I slept 8 hours straight. That's not the norm but I think Mom is hoping it's the beginning of a new norm. The norm since being on my belly has been about 6 hour stretches which they say is still good. :)
