My baby is a side sleeper. Will this work if he sleeps on his side?.

The Babysense detects the movement of the baby's breathing, from my understanding. So it should not matter what sleeping position the baby is in. Although most recommend placing baby on his or her back as the safest position. All the more reason to have this monitor.

Side sleeping is a risk factor for SIDS. You shouldn't even consider letting your baby sleep on their side until they are close to 12 months old. At very least after 6 months. This is very dangerous that they would turn over to their stomach and suffocate.

Hi John. I would use when baby is at least 3 months and up. My baby didn't develop a flat spot, but since he preferred one side I was worried he would and got this pillow.

I sleep on my side, and I have no problem. I have been sleeping with these every night for years and they are the greatest! Sometimes when i wake up it's off but they are perfect for helping you fall asleep. I recommend this product.

I used this few weeks ago on a plane. I'm not sure what you mean by sleeping on your side though but you can definitely lean your head to the side with this.

It's okay for a infant to sleep in a cot during the 1st 6mos with you on his/her back side in eyesight to reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden death infant syndrome). However during the 5th month the infant can sleep in any position he/she is comfortable sleeping in because development improves. For safety keep away from cords and check to make sure cot is intact monthly. When not in use store away. Hopefully this information was useful for you:)

I sleep on my side with this pillow constantly. I found it worked best if I put my hip right where the wedge starts and then my head is up at the very top. It helps keep me from sliding down and isn't uncomfortable at all. Both my sons (5 & 7 yrs) use this pillow when they have post nasal issues and they can sleep on their sides with it as well.

My little guy sleeps with it. Nor sure about side sleepers just because he only weights 50 lbs. Had no issue in the past year. Very comfy.

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

Works fine for side or back sleepers. My wife is a side sleeper. Best pillow she has ever used.

If this baby is used to sleeping on their tummy, than no. But, if your baby rolls over during the night, this will stop them from rolling over.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

I do think it's a weird angle for my newborn (now 6 weeks old). He seems kind of uncomfortable, but then again he falls asleep when we start driving so I guess it can't be that bad. He is 21.5 inches long, 9.5 lbs.

i put it on my side only (near the edge). He might feel a little but not much. It will flow OVER you if placed directly in line with where you sleep

No this will not make you sleep on your side. you need a type of wedge pillow to be placed behind you

Not really as it doesn't recline flat. It reclines enough for the baby to sleep.

Yes - it doesn't affect your ability to sleep on your side, but you probably couldn't sleep on your stomach.

My husband uses it during side sleep. While it can be used for someone on their back, it's not ideal. So the answer is yes, with limitations.
