Should I let my 11 month old baby sleep in this position? (photo included)

[Carrotcake93]

Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it, but dd has only been sleeping in that position for the last months. I didn't care before, when I placed her back correctly after she fell asleep. The problem is that lately I find her the next day in that position and some that impress me more. 😅Sometimes I find her literally sitting with her legs open and her body lying face down.

I'm not worried about her stopping breathing or something, but even though she's a flexible baby it doesn't feel like a good way to sleep. What do you guys think?

Apologies for any mistake, as English isn't my first language and thanks for reading 🙂

Yes its fine for her to sleep like that

She's old enough to turn herself and find a comfortable position. You don't need to worry.

Ifs he was uncomfortable she’d move or let you know I’m sure. Sweet baby.

She is OK. Make sure that the padding on the side is tightly attached to the cot bars, no chance to touch her nose or face x

But I'd lose the pointless cot bumper.

My DD is nearly 3 and still sleeps like this! If she is comfy, she'll be fine. She can turn herself if she isnt.

The cot bumpers aren't recommended once your baby is mobile as they can climb on them or they can get untied and become a choking/suffocation hazard

Cot bumpers are very unsafe

Lots of children sleep like this, I have no idea why. The cot bumpers are more of a risk than the sleeping position

By that age, if she chooses to turn to face down, that's fine. Though the cot bumpers are a suffocation risk.

As others have said the cot bumpers are a suffocation risk. I’d remove them asap.

Probably should know your thread will soon fill up with horror stories about cot bumpers.

Bairn looks comfortable, she's old enough to pick her own sleeping position I think.

Oh she is GORGEOUS!!!

Just saying. ❤

There's a reason that is called 'child's pose' in yoga

Sleeping position is absolutely fine, don’t worry. As others have said, the cot bumper is very unsafe. I can’t believe companies are still allowed to sell them. Your daughter will be fine if she bumps her head into the cot every now and again.

Not trying to scare you but do some research on the cot bumpers. I read a story from a mum who’s young baby somehow got tied up in the strings, they found him dead in the morning. My mum used to pressure me to buy a cot bumper as DD was always banging her head into the bars. That story put me off and she eventually learned to stay in the middle!

So cute!! This is how my 3 year old always slept as a baby. I think it makes them feel cosy.

Oh one of my sons used to sleep that and used to fart like a trooper(he's very grown up now) ha ha !
Enjoy !

Another saying get rid of the cot bumpers. www.lullabytrust.org.uk/parents-should-remove-cot-bumpers/

So warning a mum about the risks of cot bumpers on a parenting site is just a way to spread horror stories? Got ya

Sleeping position is absolutely fine. Cot bumpers need to go.

Oh wow, thank you very much for the answers, I really didn't expect the turn of the answers. We have never worried about crib bumpers, nor had I heard that they were a danger. But it makes sense. They are out tonight 😂

Sleeping position is fine to me! But Please do read all the advice on cot bumpers this is a definite no for safe sleeping

Remove the cot bumpers. They are a sids risk.

Sleeping like that is fine, for some reason I think they do that when they are cold…..maybe that is rubbish though!

See how many pages you get with people still banging on about it.

Yes, because they've been known to kill babies. Nobody is criticising. Just trying to be helpful.
