Sleeping Position

Adrian had been sleeping with his face up, facing the ceiling, which I believe is the most common sleeping position for most babies. I know I have to guide him with various different positions to get a good shape for his head. However, side positioning is tricky because I need to ensure that he won't roll over onto his tummy & cover his face. I've tried many ways to position him on his left & right but he doesn't seem to favour the side positioning (he roll back to the original position after a while).

Today, I tried my best to position him again. I placed a big bolster behind him, against the side of the crib and place 3 little bolsters in front of him to keep him from rolling back over, like this ...


He doesn't like it that way! He slightly moved himself & tried to kick away the bolsters in front of him, He failed! He screamed and finally got really cranky with his pathetic sob. I had no choice but to remove all the big & small bolsters so that he can stretch himself freely.

He continued to cry & cry & cry until I carried him and he took a little catnap being held in my arms before he got cranky again. I know it's bad to pamper him in that way but he wakes up whenever I put him down. He was really cranky the entire afternoon, that should be a revenge to me for putting him into the side positions that he dislike the most.

Finally, he ended up in his favourite rocker (I called it his Lamborghini but hubby said it's just a Kancil). With the vibration from the rocker and slight swing, he slept peacefully & soundly.

And there goes my whole afternoon, pampering him!
