We had to ditch the safetysleep as Noah decided that he likes to move A LOT during the night. Once he realized he was confined, he'd freak out.

We had rolled up towels along side him and a pillow at his feet to keep him in the inclined position, but its really not helping now.

Noah wakes often, but he's been good about just scooting around for a sec, maybe turning on his Fisher Price "Birdy" crib toy, then goes back to sleep (at least a few times out of the many he wakes). Anways, he scoots out of the nest and ends up rolling to the bottom or getting wedged into the side of the crib and then I have to keep getting up and moving him, which stimulates him enough to keep him awake.

We just flattened the crib to see if it would work out, but he gagged several times in his sleep, so I think it better go back to inclined. Plus, he is sick and very congested.

Any fool-proof ideas on keeping him in the nest?

Hi Maggie... I can't be of any help b/c Lauren has never slept in a nest. She, like Noah, is a very active sleeper. She's usually upside down in her crib by morning...Her crib is still slightly elevated though, which helps for the majority of the night.

Thanks Sandy, but I think I solved my own problem! Noah does the same thing. He's a wild one!

No suggestions from me either... sorry! I put the boys cribs flat once they started moving about. I have used safetysleeps too.. until they worked out how to unrip the velcro- d'oh! :lol: :roll:
It's funny but during the day, they are happy to be in the safetysleep and go to zzzz's straight away... but at night they hate being in them.. and take about an hour of crawling around the cot before they actually go to zzz's!!!! Funny little men!!

I was actually just going to do a post about this I just got Connor to sleep in his crib which is great except he just scoots right over the nest and ends up at the bottom of the crib sideways. Now he wakes up in the middle of the night several times. I don't know what to do If I stop elevating his crib than he spits up. Anyone have any ideas? He is 3months old. Is that to old for the safety sleep?

I would decrease the elevation slightly, and then build your nest up higher, so that he cannot roll over it. Noah is a very active almost 7 month old, and he can't get over mine without REALLY trying, which he doesn't do at night. You need to decrease the amount of space between the two towels on the side if he can roll sideways. And, like I said, use bigger blankets or double up towels to make it taller. Hope you have some luck!

3 months old is definitely not too old for a SafeTsleep... my boys are 10 months old and have only just learnt how to wiggle out of them!!!

Yes, Sarah is right, they are not too old for the safe-t-sleeps.
