DD struggles with spit up/choking

mistd78

Does anyone else still have baby in bed with them?  My daughter still sleeps with me at night.  DH works out of town for 2-3 weeks at a time and DD has a choking issue.  If DD is in her crib for a while she will sleep, but she has a tendency to begin choking very easily, apparently DH's entire family has issues with it.  But when DD is sleeping and begins choking on her spit up, she still isn't strong enough to move her body to prevent it, instead it terrifies her and she starts screaming and crying.  Which if I have her with me, she doesn't do because I can hear it starting before it startles her.  Does anyone else have this issue?  If so, any thoughts on when to transition her to her crib?  She loves her mobile when she is awake and will lie in her crib for a while but doesn't sleep through the night in there yet. Any feedback?  I  know I am going to have a struggle to get her in the crib but I feel like it is worth it to have my peace of mind that she can breathe and doesn't choke at night, at least until she is strong enough to sit up a little better.

Where do you get a positioner?  It might be helpful to get her into her crib as well...
