Tony Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 1 hour ago, pettie4sox said: So we had easy mode for the first six months since we had a SNOO bassinet. We had to return it since he just turned six months. He is rolling like crazy these days. We transitioned to a crib and he obviously isn't sleeping as long. He will wake up fussing on his stomach and he's also getting his limbs stuck in the crib bars. I wanted to put on some mesh linings so he can't stick his appendages through the bars but I was told that it could be a SIDs risk. This is crazy. Do you use a sleep sack?

We had a few rough nights with the transition to the crib but basically took the cry it out approach and she seemed to adjust pretty quick. But obviously if there is something wrong, or they are coughing, or really working themsevles up we go in. How long has he been in the crib now? I remember watching ours on the monitor during that phase and just having to go in and flip them over when she would roll, which sucks, but it doesn't last very long.

Yeah we just bought a new web cam type monitor so we can see what's going. We are essentially letting him cry it out if he wakes up in the middle of the night, but we want to monitor to make sure he's not in a compromised position.

Unless something has changed in recent years SIDS is a very young baby thing primarily. I want to say by six months the odds have dropped off a ton.

We use the Nanit camera which has been great, really never had a problem with it and the app works really well. We also use a Hatch sound machine, which both helps her sleep and also keeps out other household noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the hatch, not sure which camera my wife decided on but she typical doesn't hold back when it comes to the baby's safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps keep the baby stationary and from rolling too much. Their limbs won’t get stuck in the crib bars. I wouldn’t worry about SIDS now.

pettie4sox Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 So I was tasked with finding items to fasten bookshelves, drawers, and any other tilt susceptible furniture to the wall. Any advice on how to proceed with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice on how to proceed with this? I used this one, pretty easy to install. Recommend installing it without slack to reduce tipping potential. https://www.homedepot.com/p/SIMPLE-MOUNT-Furniture-Anti-Tip-Kit-TK400L/206411011 I'm also lucky that I don't have a climber, so it hasn't really been tested yet and hopefully never will be.
