In reply to Jen. I'm a huge swaddling fan, and, if they can roll themselves it's OK (so they say). :)

In reply to Laura. I can see where it’s an issue because my grandson at once month rolls over in the swaddle wrap . He does hold his head up good but would get tired quick., there is no way he could do it for a few hours.

Never though of the fan suggestion. But it’s brilliant! I always use a fan to circulate while I’m sleeping so naturally baby needs it too!

Great tips and a great article, loved the information provided. My big brother (born and passed away before I was born) died of SIDS. My mother had a very hard time and constantly blamed herself, though she followed every rule you could. As much as it’s great to have tips, and an ease of mind, there really isn’t anything you can do to prevent it from happening. My heart goes out to anyone who has experienced this kind of loss.

In reply to Patricia. Yeah, that is true about the pacifier. I think the fan is mainly to circulate the air so that CO doesn't build-up around their mouth/nose.
