Quick question - can I put the boppies in their crib and let them sleep?
I thought I read somewhere that this is a no-no. They need to be inclined as they both are sick and congested. They sleep great in them, but they are supervised and not out of my sight during the day.
Your thoughts- yay or nay?
They are in the same crib right now and I have Angelcare monitors. Should I put them in their own cribs and turn them on? Right now I have the movement monitor off since they are sharing.
Ugh - I HATE SICK BABIES!!! Can we fast forward to spring??
Re: Quick question - can they sleep in boppies?
I don't think you're supposed to. Something about them slipping down into the Boppy and it hindering their breathing.
However, DD slept propped up in hers a few times without any problems.
Do you have "pumpkin" type carseats? If so, strap them into those. We still do that with the boys when they are sick. It works wonders and you know they will be safe.
Thanks - that's what I thought.
I'm just running out of options and I feel bad when I can't comfort them.
They are salined, suctioned, and fed. We tried to incline their cribs already and it didn't make much of a difference.
I don't like them sleeping in car seats. I'm weird about that - not sure why.

ditto this. I was in your shoes with a stuffy baby. I had her in boppy next to me in bed without any issues. Have you tried swing? bouncer?
You have to do what your comfortable with but that's what the pedi recommended for us. Sometimes it's our only option if we want anyone to get any sleep. They have come in handy a few times over this last week. We can't seem to shake the sick bug at our house
I'd try the car seat too. It's NMS either, but a friend of ours had their LO in it up until 4 mos.
Would you want to buy a FP rock n' play sleeper? I just got mine last week and DS is loving it.
DS loves his too.
I just wanted to say I third the FP rock and sleep sleeper. Friends of mine have used it and I really wish they would have had that contraption out when my son was a baby. I plan to get that next time around.
Feel better, Emily and Abby! I know DS just had a terrible cold and now I have it...it is amazing how much a cold debilitates you.
