Co Sleep Soundly With the Co Sleeper Baby Safety Pillow

Author: Daniel Hellman

Will your baby infant sleep safely? Will you sleep soundly? Like many parents you may want to cosleep with your baby, but are worried about whether or not your baby will be safe from rolling off the bed. My wife, Karen, and I faced the same dilemma, until my wife found the Co Sleeper Baby Safety Pillow.

We didn’t have our first baby sleep with us. We were worried that it would be unsafe for him, that maybe he would roll off the bed. Karen was breast feeding and so we could not feed the baby in shifts. With the little guy not sleeping though the night, it became nearly impossible for my wife to get any sort of decent sleep. This is a problem for many if not most moms.

My wife was looking for a way to do her best as a mom and at the same time get enough sleep to teach her high school English class during the day. With our first baby she just somehow made it through. She was just glad to keep her sanity and make I through the day. So many moms feel the same way.

With our second baby boy, Jacob, my wfe decided to have him co sleep with us in our bed. Instead of having the baby wake up crying and then having to get up and go sit in a chair to breast feed him, my wife was able to just shift him from side to side throughout his feedings during the night. This worked great because, Karen did not have to wait to hear him break out into his full cry mode before she heard him. And it was much less disruptive of her sleep to be able to just shift the baby from one side to the other and then breast feed him. I got to sleep much better as well.

But in the back of my wife’s mind, she has been worried that Jacob might get hurt by rolling off the bed. She began to do some research and eventually found the Co Sleeper Baby Safety Pillow. The Co Sleeper Baby Safety Pillow is about five feet long and about 12 inches in diameter. It lays on the edge of our bed and is attached to a sheet which lays on the bed.

With the co sleeper baby safety pillow along the bed, Jacob cannot roll out of bed. And since the pillow is actually on the bed, he can’t get stuck between the bed and the pillow as can happen with other co sleeper products. The Co Sleeper Baby Safety Pillow is patented and designed with your baby’s safety in mind. And it’s doctor recommended.

So if you would like to cosleep with your baby without the fear of your baby rolling out of your bed, check out the Co Sleeper Baby Safety Pillow at www.cosleeper-baby-safety-pillow.com. With the safety pillow, your infant sleeps safely and you sleep soundly. And you can regain your sanity again. My wife and I love it.

  2. QUESTION:
    I need to buy max-cosi (baby safety products) in Groningen. Can you give me adresses, I don’t speak Dutch.?
    Maxi-Cosi products
    Maxi cosi baby safety products

    • ANSWER:
      The easiest (although not necessarily the cheapest!) is to go to your local branch of Prenatal. They have branches in many towns and most cities. Then there are also larger stores as well which are excellent and well stocked. My local warehouse stock is Aalsmeer and I spent many an hour there when my two were a bit younger (now they are 1 and 3 years old so I don’t go so often)

      Anyway you are in luck! In Groningen there is a in-town branch and a warehouse branch as well. http://www.prenetal.nl/Filiaalwijzer
      Here is the address and opening times for the in-town one http://www.prenatal.nl/Winkels/ShopDetails.aspx?storeID=29 and here for the warehouse http://www.prenetal.nl/Winkels/ShopDetails.aspx?storeID=78 Like I said, go to the larger one if you can as it will be much better stocked with products

      They also have an online shop http://www.prenatal.nl/Shop_Homepage but of course this is in Dutch

      Otherwise I also used Baby Dump in comparison for things like car seats, buggies etc although they do not have a branch in Groningen but only in – Grou (FRIESLAND) and Zwinderen (GRONINGEN-DRENTHE) http://www.baby-dump.nl/index.php?page=ves

      So checking the NL website of Maxi Cosi then there is a page where you can type in your postcode or city and it brings up all the stockists in the area.
      - Go to http://www.maxi-cosi.com/maxicosi/dealers.aspx
      - On the right-hand side in the field next to “of Plaats” (or Place) type in “Groningen”.
      - Press “zoek” (search) and all the shops will come up with the addresses, map and websites if applicable

      If you are still stuck then feel free to Email me (click on my profile and you need to enable your Email option on your profile as well if you haven’t already done so)

      If you are looking for second hand (and there are a lot of second hand items because it is a common brand here) then you can look on Marktplaats, but it is completely in Dutch though….. http://www.marktplaats.nl/

      EDIT – do take care with lists from the yellow pages as there are no guarantees that all the stores stock Maxi Cosi stuff e.g. Wijsneus doesn’t.

Getting Your Baby to Sleep Through the Night

Monday, July 26th, 2010 at 1:31 am  
Comments (11)

Children often have sleep problems during the first year of life, including trouble getting to sleep, waking up in the middle of the night and having irregular sleep patterns. Remember that there are no definite rights or wrong ways to put your child to sleep and that if you and your baby are happy with your current routine then you should stick to it. However, it is not good if it is a struggle to put your child to bed, if he gets overly frustrated in the process, strongly resists being put to bed or if he is waking up so much that he or other family members end up not getting adequate sleep.

Parents who don’t want to leave their baby while she is still awake may opt for the gradual removal method. According to this technique, sit in a chair next to your baby’s bed and wait there until she falls asleep. Do this for two nights. Then move your chair two feet away on the third and fourth nights and five feet away from the bed on the fifth and sixth nights. By the seventh night, sit in the doorway, and on the ninth night, stay in the hallway. Shortly after this, by the 10th night or by the end of the second week, the baby should be able to fall asleep by himself.

Put the baby down and let her cry herself to sleep without any additional comforting. Experts caution, though, that parents using this method might ignore their crying baby when she has some other real, not sleep-related, and problem.

This method can also be a great test of parents’ will. It is difficult to do nothing while your baby wails away. But by giving in after 15 minutes, a half-hour, or even more, the baby learns that her parents will come and get her if she persists, making sleep training more difficult.

With the scheduled awakenings method, observe and record your baby’s natural waking times during the night for a week. A pattern of regular waking times should emerge. Then, following this schedule, wake the baby 15 minutes before each of those natural awakening times and soothe the baby back to sleep each time.

The baby’s “unscheduled” awakenings, those that don’t follow the regular pattern, should gradually stop. At that point, over a period of weeks, cut back gradually on the number of times you wake your baby before his “scheduled” awakenings until he is able to sleep through the night.

Desperate times can call for desperate measures, but don’t even bother with some popular but ineffective ways to get your baby to sleep through the night. Giving your baby solid foods at an early age in the belief that she is waking during the night because she is hungry. There’s no research to support this, and you’ll just condition her to want to eat during the night.

Eliminating naps during the daytime. Don’t do it. This risks making your baby overtired, which will make it harder for her to fall and stay asleep putting your baby to bed later. Like eliminating naps, this will likely make your baby overly tired, making it harder for her to fall asleep.

Baby sleep through the night is the task all parents to look into.
