This past weekend we went to Babies-R-Us in attempt to find a sleep positioner that might trick Delaney into sleeping in her bassinet. She will only sleep on my chest or lying next to me and occasionally in her swing. Brian and I thought that if we bought a positioner it might "trick" her into thinking someone was still holding her. Well we found this little gem, or so we thought, that has a heart-beat that helps the baby think that they are close to your heart, and has an inclined head rest and all that high quality stuff they advertise. For 34.99, yes we paid 35 bucks for this thing and brought it home and its not safe to use! I should of read the reviews on BRU website or on Amazon before purchasing, so back in the box it goes to be returned this weekend. Problems: The bottom is rounded so the positioner does not lay flat so if Delaney made any little move it tipped over! As soon as any weight was placed on the head rest, it would collapse back flat. In the picture on the box, it shows an infant totally in cased by the positioner, but Delaney's legs hung off the end really awkwardly. The box states it is for 0-6 months, so it's not like I have an unusually long baby.
So I have learned my lesson, read other mom's reviews before purchase!

That is crazy.. I got a pretty cheap sleep positioner that didn't do anything fancy, but Brent liked it when he was a tiny baby! I will find out what brand it is.. I think it was only like 10 bucks.
My friend got a soft glove (I think it was driving glove) and filled it with rice. They would lay it on their baby's body or next to her and she would sleep...thinking someone's hand was on her?
