Can this be used for babies that roll onto their stomach and remain in that position for most of the night? My daughter does that and also pushes her butt up in the air...

Both our children were stomach sleepers and we had no issues with false alarms. The monitor was able to detect movement just fine while on their stomachs.

My daughter sleeps on her back still but on the website it does say if they sleep on their tummy you will just need to position the clip more on the side (might take a little trial and error). See question 11 in their FAQ http://www.mylevana.com/product/Oma_%EF%BF%BD_Powered_by_Snuza.eng-49-overview-121.htmlWe LOVE this product. It brought so much peace of mind for my husband and I!

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.

I'm still using it for my 2 month old. He's not rolling over yet--but I will say that if he has a really wiggly night just on his back it gets dislodged and the alarm sounds. I don't put it on him when I wear him in the carrier because it seems like it would press against his tummy. It isn't big-but it's big enough that it would be uncomfortable. I don't think I'd use it for tummy sleepers.

This would not be good for tummy sleepers. I'm guessing you would have a lot of false alarms because it wouldn't be able to sufficiently detect your babies movement from breathing if it's pressed up against the mattress. It still works for my daughter who likes to sleep on her side though.

It can, but once my son started flipping to his belly at about 5 months old the Snuza had more false alarms. I still used it once he flipped to his tummy for about 2 more months. As he got more mobile and squirmy the alarm started going off almost every night and waking him up. I've heard some moms then clip it on the side or back of the diaper but I didn't try that.

Not really. It kept my son's upper body from rolling out but not his legs and hips. Definitely should only be used on a floor, not raised.

I didn't use mine as a bedside bassinet for that reason. I let my baby sleep in it one night and she slid to the bottom and her little legs were all crunched up. I only used it during the day for naps.

We used ours until our daughter was actively rolling around. At 5 months she would sometimes get 'wedged' or 'cross-ways' in the bassinet while trying to turn on her back in a circle. Typically though if she was tired and ready to be asleep it wasn't an issue. However, once your baby starts rolling, I'd highly recommend discontinuing the bassinet. For that reason, I'd also never use it on an elevated or uneven surface. Our daughter never came close to tipping it, but certainly if left unattended she may be able to get it over. She's now 7 months and 17.5 pounds.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

I haven't tried that but I can imagine that would work nicely. My baby sleeps directly on top of it and for the most part it stays in place well. The fabric is absorbent and breathable so when she spits up it does a good job of keeping her relatively dry.

I used it in both the bassinet and the bottom of the play yard. Of course it does add some height, so as soon as baby starts to roll, I would start using it in the bottom part only. I even used my sleep sense infant movement monitor under this mattress with absolutely no problems.

I haven't tried that but it seems to key in on the baby's movement more, however any movement will make it think all is ok. Try to only use it in a static environment where the baby is the only thing that can move.

This was designed for toddlers. There is nothing to keep an infant from rolling off. True it isn't a long fall (only about 9 inches) but still not a good idea for a baby. I would think 18 months and older would be a better plan.

It sort of works that way...unfortunately, you can't really slide the baby because you have to sit up. It seems like the only way to not sit up is to put your baby in bed. I personally was not comfortable with that. This is the next best and safest thing.It also beats getting out of bed to walk to a bassinet or another bedroom. Worth buying!

I did. I believe it's approved for all night sleep. It's great for babies with reflux because it sits them up. Similar to the Rock N Play but without the terrible reviews. We loved this and used it until she didn't fit anymore!!

I used it with gDiapers without any problems. The day my daughter learned to roll over, she started sleeping on her stomach. I clipped it to the back of her gDiaper and it worked perfectly.

Yes, though we put in rolled receiving blankets to keep baby from rolling. Would not suggest moving an older baby(8+ months, if you are still using it).

I have not tried this personally. I mailed this to my daughter who has a new baby and is breast feeding. I was hoping this would give her back support at night.

This suit is only for back sleeping, the company says it is not safe once the baby can roll over in it. However, just because a baby can roll over out of the suit, it doesn't mean they can roll over while in it.

My LO wasn't sleeping on his stomach at the time, so he was fine with it. He outgrew it just as he started to roll on his side to sleep. I will say this, it seems like a baby would have a very hard time rolling completely over in the suit. Remember the movie "A Christmas Story" where the kid says "I can't put my arms down!" It's more like that.
