We've been told to avoid those at all costs due to very high risks of suffocation. I did 4 sets of 10min tummy time sessions a day with my girls for the first few months (and had them nap on their tummies too when they were fully supervised or napping on me), and then lengthened the tummy time to be about 60min per day by the time they were 3m old. It was some effort, but worked well as they both have nice round heads now.
Yeah I’ve been reading a lot tonight, more about SIDS risks than suffocation .. equally just as worrying though !! It’s only been DD1 that’s liked tummy time DD2 and DS suffered bad with acid reflux so they wouldn’t entertain tummy time at allWe've been told to avoid those at all costs due to very high risks of suffocation.

I had problems with DS2 and used a mimos pillow. Quite expensive but did help a lot. Only used under supervision....like on bouncer/rocker, pram etc. Not at night time. X
Thank you . I wouldn’t use any sleeping aid at night either that would just send my anxiety through the roof ! Should have mentioned this in my first post

The most important thing is just love. 
Yeah the pros of sorting out his wee head....or at least not making it worse was so important, I was distraught at the time!No judgement here - we all need to weigh the pros and cons for ourselves. I do go against a lot of professional advice myself, and try to make up for things like occasionally cosleeping with a baby, by overcompensating in another area (like keeping my kids rearfacing in the car until close to 6years old).
It is simply impossible for us to just keep them safe all the time and I think as long as we know the advice, we can then decide to go with it or ignore it

I'm a bit paranoid about it this time too. We never had to get a helmet for ds2 but his head was defo out of shape. I cried, it was an awful worry. The pillow did seem to help, or at least not make it worse at the time, then perhaps nature did take its course. I still look at him now and can see its not quite perfect but like you its probably just me that can tell! X
Both my girls were fine and never had any issues . Didn’t do anything different with DS and his entry flat as a pancake !
Oh that’s amazing ! Adorable
Great scan pics!!
My kids had their lights out at 6:50 tonight lol.
Hahah I know DS was asleep by 7pm! Flat out all night thankfully !Oh no hope you avoid catching it BabyBump! That’s the only good thing about the kids getting sick, at least you can put them to bed early
Sammy those are such amazing pictures!! Ahhh making me want to do one haha
