XP: A bunch of FTM questions

VeilSdeGTO

DD used to fall asleep/nap cradled in my arms. For the past two weeks, she will only fall asleep on me tummy to tummy. At night, she sleeps in her bouncy chair, but not for more than 4 hours at a time. We were thinking of transitioning her to her co-sleeper soon.

Do I have a tummy sleeper? Should I put her on her tummy in the co-sleeper? At what point do you let LO sleep on their tummy?

 

DD hates having her arms swaddled. We use the Halo sleepsack, which works for a while. At around 4am, she will start to really fight to get her arms out and scream. I would end up undoing to velcro and she will sleep from 5-6:30am, but would wake up every 10 minutes or so because her arms are flailing.

Would you just leave her arms unswaddled the whole night, even though she wakes herself up with her arms? At what age do they have better control of their arms?

 

DD has had baby acne for 3 weeks, but they are getting better. However, she has these scab looking things on both eyebrows. They are not red, more like tan, dry skin looking bumps. They don't seem to bother her. 

Any idea what they are? Should I call the pedi about them?

You can transition her to another sleeping place on her back once she's in deep sleep. watch for loose limbs and relaxed hands. IDK how old your DD is but 4 hours is a good stretch at this time, so I would be pleased about that.  

I hear you're not supposed to let them tummy sleep at all, but I really wouldn't until she can use her arms to lift herself up which won't be for a few months.

I keep my DD swaddled all night.  

My DD also has some dry skin on her eyebrows. They're dry skin and will eventually flake away.

Hi there.....I have a tummy sleeper too, and she will really only fall asleep on me that way, but I will only put her on her back to sleep.We gave up swaddling a long time ago because she faught to get arms out, so now she can flail all she wants. Lol! As for the baby acne, our pedi said its our hormones leaving their body and that the dry splotchy skin around eyebrows is actually cradle cap......so we lotion that at night. Pedi said it will all clrar up in a few weeks!
