Acid reflux bed?

Question

What kind of beds do you use for ur babies? My lo has a mild acid reflux, and lately nothing works at night .. Just me holding her. She sleeps so well in her swing during the day, because it is inclined. Any advice is welcome

Answer

Rock and play is great for reflux babies.

Answer

I elevated her bassinet on one side with books and I also have a towel under her crib sheet which kinda helps. My baby sleeps great the first part of the night but around 3am it goes downhill and she grunts and makes noise and moves her head side to side and eventually ends up waking up. It just recently got this bad. Last night she ended up sleeping on my chest from about 5:30am until 9. Only way we both got sleep. Not the safest, but like another poster said I always wake up when she moves and she sleeps so soundly so it's worth it, especially when I know we both just want to get some sleep.

Answer

My little guy has silent reflux.  He naps in a rock n play when I'm awake to keep and eye on him.  At night, he sleeps in his crib.  I have a bath towel rolled up under the head end of the mattress.  It was suggested by the doctor as the only truly safe option.  Swings/chairs/boppy make me nervous that he'll suffocate while we are sleeping so I only use those during the daytime.

Answer

I let my son sleep in his swing. I know it increases the risk of SIDS but I'm up almost every hour to check on him and its literally the only way we can get ANY sleep. I'd like to transition him back to his bassinet or pack and play soon if we can. He just rolls/shifts a lot and wakes himself up and he doesn't do that in his swing so its hard. Just stick a rolled up towel or blanket to elevate it.

Answer

I put a pillow under the head of the mattress so it's at an incline but that only really helped for short naps. Most nights she sleeps on my chest. It's the only way we get any real sleep. I'm a very light sleeper so I wake when she twitches and I can soothe her before she wakes. I also wear her in a wrap carrier during the day.

I got a swing but she hates it. 😟 oh well.

Answer

Is she sleeping in bed with you ? If so you can try propping her up on a boppy . I do that with my LO and she sleeps so peaceful on it.
