I've recently had a baby. He was born very mucusy and was bringing this up for a few days, especially when laid down. When talking to a Midwife about how I make a point of laying him on his side (Muslin rolled up behind his back but blanket tucking him in/holding him in place) as I worry he'd choke while I'm asleep, she told me "babies don't choke on their sick" and not to worry so much.
AIBU to think that's irresponsible advice?
This is my second child so I don't worry over the little things that experience has taught me but things like safe sleeping and being aware of how to lay a baby that's prone to being sick when laying down seem pretty important. For a new/first time Mum that might not know little things like laying them on their side or elevating the head end of their crib that could be very dangerous advice, don't you think?
