  A friend of mine said to me when complaining about having to get up during the night to feed and how cold it was to sit in the lounge at 2am etc - I said that my baby just latched on (in bed with me) so I got a rather good sleep and he was warm and fed.

This was always the reasoning when I did my mid education for lying babies on their tummy. I personally can not lie babies on their back as I have also seen babies choke on secretions. I always turn them a little to the side. Judy  From: "Cheryl LHK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECT
