Which sleep positioner do you recommend?

Our little ones are having some difficulty staying asleep once they're down, esp our dd. She loves to be snuggled up against me while she's sleeping and we're trying to get them to stay in their cribs at night. We use the miracle blkts now, but they're kind of helping. So, which sleep positioner do you recommend? This is what we are considering now. TIA!!!!

We used the Air Vent sleep positioners from BRU. I liked them because they can be used for side sleeping , and my girls seemed comfortable in them.

 

I was told that sleep positioners were not recommended because of a sids risk, so we never used them.

 

Look for ones that are vented with airholes - and even then, you might want to keep a close eye on the babies to make sure they do not get overheated. We tried sleep positioners but the boys were getting so overheated they'd be drenched in sweat after only an hour. I returned them after three nights of this. And this was when they were only wearing a onesie - definitely would not recommend using any kind of swaddling in combination with a sleep positioner.

 

we use the ones that you can get at target in the infant section.....i started using them to position them to sleep either on their left or right sides b/c they were both getting flat spots on one side of their heads....the doctor said it was fine to use.....the flat spots are gone, but we still use them b/c they are still in the same crib and it keeps them on each end of the crib so they won't bother each other...although occasionally they will break out of them (they are 6 months old today!!)

I've heard good reviews on those as well.

 

The ones I have were gifted to me, I don't remember the brand but they're shaped like a wedge and the position thingies velcro on. I'm not thrilled with them. They were good when the babies were small but now that they're heavier (though not much) the wedge sort of squishes down and doesn't really provide much of a wedge anymore. Aside from that they're pretty good at keeping them positioned and the babies don't get too hot in them (though it is winter) in summer they might not be so good.
