Hey, where do you guys get all of your developmental positioning stuff? I don't mean blanket rolls, I'm looking for specifically developed items used in positioning, bundling, etc. I found one site, Children's Medical Ventures, but they only offer one or two items. On a slightly different jag, how do you physically support your babies when they are lying prone? When side-lying or supine, we comfort with tightly rolled blankets, sometimes taped together to create a sort of 'womb', but I'm a bit confused about how best to support them when they are prone. We frequently have babies who are prone and will end up at the bottom of the isolette, despite our attempts at a sling to keep them in place. They seem to love the blanket rolls when they are on their backs (we roll them really big so their knees are supported, as if they were sitting in a chair, and it helps keep their hips straight, too). Oh, one more thing- if anyone knows of suppliers of neonatal items for the nursery, including linens, admit items, developmental care, pain control, etc., would you mind posting them here? I'm looking for ideas. Thanks!
