Can a snuza be used for babies that flip over to sleep on their bellies on their own?

Babies should sleep on their backs until beyond the age you would use this. I'm not sure it would be comfortable if the baby sleeps on its stomach. I know my baby didn't roll over on her own to sleep at all, but I stopped using the monitor around 6-9 months. She still sleeps only on her back at 15 months.

Yes! We used it until my daughter started kicking it off in her sleep at about 9 months.

I think it will still work fine. Just as long as it is secure on the diaper.

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.

I thought it was perfect for night feedings. My baby slept in a co-sleeper next to the bed, and I would just sit up, wrap the Snoogle around me, feed, then get right back to sleep. It was perfect to offer support for the baby, and also my back while I sat up. It's a little too much to deal with for day feedings though, a Boppy was better for that.

No...i found this product useless...it only elevated head at best which worried me more than anything because babies airway should remain neutral and she kept sliding down anyways or turning sideways. I found this product useless and dangerous. Mine still sleeps in rock n play and she's 5 months old. I. Love it because she stays in place and doesn't slide down. Good luck! Hang in there

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.

I agree with one of the previous posters. Our pediatrician recommended not using this as an overnight sleeping option. We used it when we were traveling when our son was younger (up until about 3 months), but after that our son could roll over and preferred to sleep on his stomach. Not sure how tall your baby is, but our son was around 23-24" at 3 months and still fit but didn't have a lot of extra room.

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 have reservations about using this as a full time bassinet. I was looking for something versatile as space is limited for us. Thought this would work until I realized the sides are solid and baby could wiggle against it increasing the chance of suffocation. The solution to that would be to strap baby in but then you couldn't use a swaddle and baby might not be able to stretch if they wanted. It's still good napper and play area, just one where you would want to use while you are awake if not strapping in baby.

My daughter was 4 months old but had been holding her head up on her own. We did not use it as a bike trailer until the recommended age. I used it as a stroller/jogger. Honestly the snuggler did not make it much past 6 months for us. It made it really uncomfortable for the sibling riding next to the snuggler too.

It is my understanding that once your baby can roll over you shouldt NOT be using the sleep suit. If she managed to roll over wearing the suit it would be a suffications hazard because it would weight her down on her stomach. That said, maybe she won't be able to roll over in the weighted suit...but it's a risk.

My daughter is almost 6 months and still sleeps in ours. I will probably keep her in it as long as she is comfortable. I know Leachco does not approve this as a sleeping device, but it has been the best thing for us. It seems like you can use it well into toddler stages. It has an adjustable Velcro strap that allows you to adjust snugness on it to allow it to grow as your baby grows. Good luck!

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 you can use it if you purchase also a complete head and body support such as the Kiddopotamus Snuzzler. I use it for my newborn and he fits comfortably and safely.

I think so as long as long as he is used to sleeping on his stomach already. This suit doesn't restrict the movement of the head. It just doesn't startle them when they toss and turn during the night. My baby started wearing it around 6-7 months without any problems.

It is reccomended you flip the mattress at 12 months or when the child is 20 pounds. Some parents like to flip the mattress to the toddler side at the age of 12 months while others wait until the child is between 18 and 24 months. All of these are acceptable since both sides are designed to be safely used for infants and toddlers. While infants should be placed on their back to sleep on the firmer side, a toddler will most likely find the softer side more cozy. -found this online...

No. I would not say the sleep sack is for this purpose, nor would it help. In my experience some babies /toddlers are just "climbers" and a Sleep sack would not deter them nor prevent.

I love this product, it gives me peace of mind at night! Our baby was premature as well but not as premature as yours... Make sure when you clip on the Snuza that you fold over the diaper before clipping it on otherwise you will have false alarms!

There are no set rules for flipping this mattress for a toddler. The infant side is the more firmer side which is recommended for infants. My granddaughter is 15months old now and weighs 22lbs and we haven't flipped it yet. There's not a huge difference from one side to the other. We will flip the mattress when granddaughter moves into a youth bed around age 2. Good Luck. By the way, this crib mattress has held up beautifully with no sags, tears etc. Very satisfied with the quality for the price. Good Luck
