SIDS SAFETY SIDS SAFETY

There is a new product on the market by Angelcare.
It is a crib monitor and it is fantastic!!
It's function is to set off an alarm if your baby stops moving/breathing.
The under mattress monitor can detect the slightest movement even the slight
movement created by your baby breathing. So when the monitor does not
detect any movement/breathing  for 20 seconds it sounds an alarm to alert
you of a potential adverse situation.

A review of the product on Amazon was all it took to convince me to get one.
Two parents were sleeping when they were awakened by the alarm. They rushed
to their infants crib to find him on his stomach face down not breathing, and turning
blue. The dad quickly performed mouth to mouth while the mom frantically called 911.
After a couple mouth to mouth breaths he started breathing again. What would have happened
if they had not had the Angelcare monitor.

I got ours at Walmart for $65. For some cribs it does require a special Masonite board,
13' x 13' and 1/4 inch thick.

One more home study visit then we get our day with a judge and our journey to adoption is finalized.
Last night I sat watching TV and just held our sleeping son for 4.5 hours.
Adoption is GREAT ! ! !

Toes

Our son found his toes, they were never lost, he just did not know they were down there.
Now that he knows they are there he wants them in his mouth, where they should be.
His only waking goal, other than eating, is to put any and everything in his mouth.

He is strong for his age but he does not like tummy time, and does not like to hold his head up nor does he do it well.
So we bought him an interactive electronic ball that moves, flashes, talks, has music a spinner, ribbons, animals,
numbers, and shapes. It is supposed to encourage crawling, and it works great. Instead of crying after awhile of tummy time he wants to continue to play with the ball.  He also likes to
play with the ball while sitting up, with the ball in his lap.
