Hello ladies... my little one (8weeks now) sleeps all day and night unlike before and only when she sleeps on her tummy. Is this normal !???
#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep!

Yes but you should always flip her back on her back when she turns to her belly.

She cant sleep on her back. If i put her on her back she only sleeps for like 5 mins and shes up but on her tummy she goes for hours😧

My daughter was a tummy baby. She also was a preemie and doctors said her oxygen was the best on her stomach. Talk to your Dr about it but she may just be a tummy girl. And keep an eye on her. No pillows.

Sleeping on there stomach leads to a deeper sleep that's why they sleep longer and now it's not recommended because some might not wake up from such a deep sleep but with that being said my son slept on his belly when he stayed with my mom because that's how she grew up raising kids and I never could figure out how he would sleep so long lol until she told me he sleeps on his tummy. It also helped with his reflex.

@mamiiscorp, @mamiiscorp, we have an appointment next week so ill sure talk to the doc about it, thank you. And yes no pillows or heavy blankets. She sleeps longer which also gives mummy enough time to rest 🤗

@jessyleigh, so its kinda a good thing lol only the scary part where they may never wake up (God forbid)

I completely understand.
Then she should be fine especially since you'll bring it up at the appointment. Tummy sleeping is comfortable. I'll be happy when I can lol@yasmineally

@yasmineally, it's a win loose. But that's like every method. Ask doctor and get relief. :)
