No way in hell

My mom just told me that a good way to get DS to sleep in his crib is to lay him down with a blanket over his head until he stops crying and goes to sleep, the take it off. She said the carbon dioxide would help him go to sleep!

So my mother thinks I should make my son literally pass out, just to sleep in his crib?!? Guess who doesn't get to babysit anymore!

She seriously tries to be helpful but swears all four of her kids slept through the night at six weeks old and so she has no idea and thinks there is something wrong with her grandkids because they don't sleep well.

  • That's some seriously bad advice!
  • What?! Thats just crazy.
  • :-??

    Speechless. Makes my Mom's reminiscence of putting whiskey on my gums when I was teething seem almost normal.
  • That is terrible advice.

    But is it terrible that my baby does that to herself? She likes to pull the blanket up over her head to fall asleep, then I go in and take it off once she's out. It scared the crap out of me the first time I found her that way. Now I just know to go in and de-smother her after a few minutes. :)

  • Holy wow! @mrshudson618 - That is some weird and scary advice. I've never heard anything like that before.

    How old is your mom? Not that it really makes a difference, I'm just curious. I wonder what in the world makes that seem reasonable to a person... 
    :-O
  • WTF?! That's a new one... and it's terrifying.

  • The fact that she said the carbon dioxide will help sleep really scares me. With my older ones I would drape baby blanket over to minimize distraction while I rocked them to sleep but I was like my BF cover.

     

  • I didn't recognize @Mangie717 so I clicked on her name to check her out and now I am cracking up at her avatar. I love it!!!
  • Holy tits... No. Just... No

  • Oh please, this is old hat to my MIL, she used to do that to my nephew, she claimed she was "making it dark" for him. She'd put a burp cloth (tri fold cloth diaper) over his face until he fell asleep. 

    She tried this with Josephine, I told her no.  She tried it again with Parker, I said no.  My babies never spend the night there w/o me.  Until tonight, Josephine is staying there, but she's 2 and will not let MIL cover her face.
