Belly sleeper?!

firewife9278 · October 2012

The last two mornings when I've gone into DD's room to wake her up, she's been on her belly. It's adorable! It kind of freaks me out a little, but I put her down on her back, and I know she can roll over.

Anyone else have a belly sleeper? I ask, because her diaper leaked both times from being on her belly, and her pjs were kind of soaked What kind of diapers does your belly sleeping baby wear?

(we currently use Pampers Baby Dry, but I'm thinking about trying the Overnights instead??)

Laura likes to sleep on her side or belly. We double stuff her pockets and make sure the insert is folded in the front now (cloth diapers), and we haven't had any more leaks.

I'm not worried about her. She clearly prefers to be on her belly, but she's fine moving her head if she's uncomfortable. It's impossible to get her to stay on her back anyway. She starts every night on her back, but she flips before I can get out of the room. It was just a lost cause.

Audra is a side and belly sleeper. If she goes down on her back it lasts all of 0.2 seconds before she's flipping over. She wears Pampers Swaddlers. We haven't had a leak yet. It does get very full in the front and looks silly but hey if it holds it all in, who cares haha

AJ is a belly sleeper too! I love when he tucks his knees up and sleeps with his little bum in the air...so cute! We had a big problem with him waking up wet in the beginning when we were using Baby Dry. We decided to go up a size and switch to overnights and haven't had a problem since.

DS has been sleeping on his belly since around 2 months old. He was able to roll over at 2 weeks. We use baby dry and it doesn't leak on us, but we also have the overnights as well and they haven't leaked on us either.

DD is a belly sleeper. We use Pampers and haven't had any problems. (swaddlers, baby dry, and cruisers).

I think cruisers work the best at night but I haven't tried overnights yet. If you try the overnights, will you let us know how it goes?

DD has been a side/tummy sleeper for a looooong time now, and we've never had any leaks! We've used pretty much every brand of diapers - Pampers, Huggies, and we've been using store brand for the last several months - and havent had any leaking problems.

DD is a belly sleeper and we use Pamper's overnights. No leaks ever!!

We use size 2 swaddlers during the day and size 3 baby dry at night, so I think I'm going to go get some size 3 overnights and see how those go, since I think she's going to keep on belly sleeping

I've always slept on my stomach, except when I was pregnant, so I shouldn't be surprised at all!

Thanks for the advice and reassurance!

Ian's been a belly sleeper since about 2 weeks old. No flames, it works for us! Anyway, he used to leak, ALL THE TIME. I had to wait 'til he got to size 3 because that's when Huggies starts their overnights. That's what we use. I'm not saying they're fail proof by any means, as we do still have leaks on occasion, but it's nothing like it used to be. So, I'm a fan of Huggies Overnights.

Colton has been a belly sleeper since I took him out of the swaddle around 8 weeks...But he isn't JUST a belly sleeper. He sleeps on his face, with his butt up in the air. It is crazy. Thank goodness for Angelcare or I would never sleep!

J is a very mobile sleeper. He's on his side, he's on his belly, face up, face down, you name it, I've probably seen it, and probably most of it in one night.

We still use Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive (size 3), and haven't had a leak in months *knock on wood*.

Anna sleeps on her side and belly. Our pedi actually suggested it a couple months ago when we were having trouble breaking the swaddle habit!
