My first child would not sleep on her back at all. She was so active all the time that the only way to keep her asleep was to lay her on her stomach. Otherwise she would move in her sleep and hit herself awake...weird, I know. I was given a lot of grief over it and never answered truthfully at the pediatricians. I've learned now that I am on my third child that you have to take the warnings and advice with a filter for sure. My first 2 kids missed out on the value of breastfeeding because when I had difficulty, the pediatricians increased my fears and pushed supplementing. I think most moms know their children and their abilities and should be allowed to make choices themselves.
