How to Keep Babies on Their Backs: Velcro Them

Posted by Lisa Mulcahy


We know doctors recommend that babies sleep on their backs to help prevent SIDS. But sometimes when you’re in the 3 am trenches and baby is tossing and turning it can make you a little paranoid. Here’s a new product that claims to help.

I don’t know how I feel about this one, despite the video endorsement from Growing Pains/ TV movie actress Tracy Gold on the company’s website. Though Baby Sleeps Safe, $39.99, looks like most run of the mill sleep sacks it has an additional part: a panel that straps onto the mattress, then you Velcro your baby to it. Hmmm, this seems a little weird. What do you think?

rolling up a couple of blankies and sticking them under baby's armpits worked wonders. And with all the darn receiving blankets you get when there's a new baby, it was free!
