  Please do not use a infant sleep positioner.  They are a suffocation hazard.

  I did not use one for DS and will not use one for this baby either.  They are completely uneccessary not to mention a SIDS risk.

  I didn't get one but my baby developed a flat head because she kept sleeping towards the same side. Luckily, our pediatrician caught it early and he recommended that we get a sleep positioner and there was no need for her to get a helmet to correct the deformity.

  I suggest you pay attention to the position your baby is sleeping in. If he/she seems to always be sleeping on the same side, try positioning the baby on the other side when you can.

  Yes we have one and we used it. It is not necessary, but it helped us keep DD feeling snugger. As soon as she started flipping over we removed it. This is the one we got:
