anyone have a tummy sleeper? does the zipper dig into their bodies if they sleep on their tummy?

I don't have a tummy sleeper, but if the zipper is zipped up, the pull is at the very bottom of the sack, probably lower than the feet unless the bag is really small for your baby. At that location, I don't think your baby will have a lot of weight to put on the zipper pull (and causing the dig). As for the zipper itself, it is pretty flat so I don't think it will be a problem. Just a reminder that if your baby is less than 6 month old, he or she should be sleeping on the back all the time to reduce the chance of SIDS.

My daughter sleeps on her belly, and we've never had an issue with the zipper digging in.

Yes! We use it that way a lot for sleepovers. It takes a bit of fiddling to get the zipper started back once you've done that, but it does go back on track with no problems.

Yeah, same here too. As Anne says, it is not for stomach sleeping, but, I too love my pillow.

I have given one to each of my now 10 grandchildren, and they have become the favorite thing to sleep on. ... Some have been stomach sleepers, some back sleepers, and there have been no problems. If you're a bit worried, I'd just wait til baby was 6-mo or so.

No, because there is a little res plastic thingy on the zipper...I'm assuming so the zipper won't get stuck. But I will say they are awesome sleeping bags. I got one for both me and my husband for camping in michigan and they were perfect! :)

If we are putting our little one down for the night we will clip it to his diaper before snapping up his onesie. Then he goes into his sleep sack. For naps he is normally wearing pants with a elastic waist. I'll just clip it on there once I've laid him down. Also once he started rolling over to his tummy the Snuza still works just fine.

Yes, my son sleeps on his stomach part of the time and it worked fine for him. I put it more to the one side that her tended not to favor when sleeping. The only issue I had with tummy sleeping is if they are laying on it and the alarm goes off, it isn't nearly as loud, so if you are a very sound sleeper, it might not wake you!

Hi Lisa, this protector doesn't have a zipper. It has an elastic band to cinch around, or beneath, your mattress, depending on your mattress' height. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to your feedback! Best, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

Yes, the sleeping area has a regular D-shaped zipper door. The front section has an upside down T-shaped opening with 3 zippers. Those don't totally seal, but are good enough.

I did not have a problem with my zipper, BUT having said that it seems all zippers are those tiny plastic ones now and it you're going to take it off once in a while I think getting the 12" deep would be a good 'just in case' solution. Plus, if you got a new mattress at some point you'd probably get a deeper one so you would be a head of the game. At some point (a year from now maybe) I will wash mine in the gentle cycle with cold water to see if it's possible to do.

I actually purchased a regular body pillow case on amazon that has a double zipper, Newpoint International Inc. Microsuede Body Pillow Cover With Double Sided Zippers. It is snug, but with the zippers at both ends you can unzip them both, pull the pillow through and it works very well for me. I found it helpful to start it over the end of the pillow, pull it up a little, then scrunch the rest of the case on the one end and while my husband held the pillow I streched the case over the length of the pillow. I was worried about having the zipper in my face, but it isn't as bad as I thought, they don't really stick out like you would expect.

No, its not for my 7 month old. The Snuza was absolutely fabulous when my tummy sleeper was very young, but now that she can move around it falls off quickly and sounds false alarms. I havent been able to use it since she was about 4 1/2 months old. I would look into an Angle Care if you're still concerned.

I've found that clipping it to the back of their pants or diaper so that it is touching their back still allows it to detect their breathing. Plus the alarm isn't muffled by being trapped between their tummy and the mattress. Both of my kids started sleeping on their stomachs the day they learned to roll over, so I moved the alarm and it still worked exactly as needed.

It's shaped. However, it gives with pressure, such as your face against your pillow. I sometimes sleep on my stomach and I haven't had a problem with mask.

I usually sleep on my stomach, sometimes on my side. They are firmer but thinner than a conventional pillow, so sleeping on my stomach they are perfect. When I sleep on my side I top them with a regular pillow.

Yes. My twins have slept on their tummies and the sensor never left contact with their skin. You don't have to worry about it coming off and you not knowing, because if it loses contact with their stomach the alarm will sound. That only happened once to us while one of my babies was on his side. I highly recommend these monitors. I've been using over a month now for my preemie twins and have not had one problem!
