Sheepskin for the crib and cot ?

[melsy]

Whats the thoughts on using sheepskin for the crib and cot ? I found somewere that does them in pink and blue and they are gorge look here , but I also got some info on them that they increase the risk of SIDS ? Its just that dd2 doesnt seem to sleep well on her back in the crib all flat and uninviting. Whenever we put her on her tummy on the feeding pillow shes in her element, she also loves her bouncer cradle as it goes flat, weve put a lovely thick fleece blanket in it for her to lay on and she sleeps well in there too during the day.

They look lovely. I've heard about babies sleeping on them, have no idea if they increase risk of sids. It's given me an idea for my baby.

Heres the link for SIDS

How old is your baby? I wouldn't use one for a newborn, but my dd is nearly one and I think she'd like one.

shes 3.5 wks. doesnt seem to be much info on age & use.

both mine had them from birth in their moses basket & it then moved into the cot with them (the same one actually).

My mil bought a beautiful one for our ds and i was too scared to use it.. its lived on the floor at the side of his cot and now my dd's.... i do love them though.

Never seen it in pink its gorgeous..xx

this is what SIDS website says:

Can I use a sheepskin for* my baby?

Research has shown that sheepskins are not risky if your baby sleeps on their back. As your baby starts trying to roll over onto their front, do not use the sheepskin.

If your lo sleeps on her front I definitely wouldnt use one - if she is happy to sleep on her back on it then it should be ok
