I'm really curious - how many of us sleep flat on our backs all night long?
I might sleep that way for a little while -- not long; find myself on my side
or stomach most of the time. Also thinking we really need to promote more
sling use. Saw a lady walking down my street today w/ her baby in a sling,
and I was struck anew at how easy it was and how totally unencumbered she
looked. Not to mention baby was NOT on his back in a plastic bucket!
