What is a dental positioner?

How long should I use the incline sleep positioner for my 5 month old daughter?

• My daughter has been using the incline sleep positioner since she was a month old. She loves it and has been sleeping through the night since we got it. I extended the positioner with a long piece of foam so she doesn't slide down - it works wonderfully! Now that she is able to roll, how long should I use the incliner? It has the two pieces on the sides and I feel she is safe but recently I keep picturing her rolling off it and assuming the worst. Sorry, I am a first time mommy and paranoid. I took it out of her crib last night just to see how she would do and she would not sleep. She kept rolling around the crib and getting stuck on her belly with her hands hanging out of the side of the crib (she sleeps in the zip up sack with nothing else is in her crib and we have at least an hour a day of tummy time). After about an hour of her crying because she was getting stuck, I placed the positioner back in her crib and she went right to sleep and slept through out the entire night. Here are my questions: Is anyone else using the positioner and when did you stop using it? Also, how did you deal with your baby sleeping in the crib alone with no positioner and not being afraid of your baby getting stuck or assuming the worst?

• Answer:

  u dont need to use it maybe just use it after shes been swimming but um if she can roll she can hold her head up and she will look after herself just check on her occasionally get bumpers for the bed shell be fine my son is good luck:)
