Reflux??

Question

So my baby girl has reflux..she is 5 weeks old and EBF..anyway she has to kind of sit up to sleep.. trying to get ease of mind.. Does this look safe? Does your baby sleep in a swing or bouncer? PLEASE HELP

Answer

Swings are typically not safe for babies to sleep in for long periods of time, especially unsupervised while you are also sleeping. My daughter is 3 weeks with reflux since day 1, which is normal as their digestive systems are still developing. We got a rock n play and it has been a lifesaver! Very little spit up/vomit since using it.

Answer

I'm in the same boat. She looks good to me!!!  My baby girl does well in the rock n play but we recently were just given a little bassinet that kind of looks like yours and we fold a swaddle blankey under her back/head to help elevate.

Answer

My son sleeps in his swing. He has since we brought him home from the hospital

Answer

Mine is EBF and has it. We sit her up 20-30 min after each feeding, we put books under one side of her crib in order to have it inclined at a 30 degree angle and I try to burp her really well. That seems to have helped. My diet at this moment is very restricted also, in order to avoid gas for her. Also I pay extra attention to the latch to ensure there's minimal air intake. She's 06 w today

Answer

Reflux how?

Answer

I would not leave a baby asleep overnight in a bouncer. If you have a cot. Put a towel under mattress at one side. It slightly elevated it but she's not hunched up.
