Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Not sure if this would help, but a low-tech way to keep them from rolling off an incline in the mattress is to roll a large receiving blanket in a " U " shape around the baby's bottom and sides. We were told to elevate the head of my son's mattress due to possible reflux, bad gas, and his habitual head turn to the right. He would constantly slide down the incline, though, which made it ineffective and had us wake up just as much (when his head pressed against the crib bars, he would wake up and let us know!). You could try putting the one side of the " U " blanket under your baby's side and see if he will tolerate it better than a thicker positioner. Hope this might help - -- > > IS there a good one for a 4 month old? He wiggles out of everything and doesn't like to be elevated.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I have had great luck with getting my son to turn his head the opposite way using an incline wedge made for babies for reflux,(designed to raise the head up) its a very small slope and what i did was position it sideways so that it slightly elevate his right side and cause him to turn to the left. I also put two tightly rolled blankets on either side of him to keep him from rolling over due to the slope(its very small slope, he is at the bottom of the slope edge) its soft and comfy and works well, hope it makes sense.... ~le mom to 5 mos WA > > > > IS there a good one for a 4 month old?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 btw, if he still moves around too much I saw an idea about sewing velcro to the back of the pajama and the wedge or pillow you use so that they stay on the wedge or small pillow....I havn't had to do that but hear it works well! ~le WA > > > > IS there a good one for a 4 month old?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 try amazon.com's sleep positioner, the $80 dollar one, not the cheaper one. Worked spectacularly for our girl! Kept her in it until 7 months old! It is short, and some babies will dangle their legs off the end, but they seem comfortable, don't mind it, and repositions really well! > > IS there a good one for a 4 month old?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 it's called: Summer Infant Symmetry Sleep Positioner - Summer Infant, Inc. $79.99 I just looked it up and amazon says its currently unavailable. they only keep a small inventory andit goes really fast. try doing a competitive internet search. > > > > > > IS there a good one for a 4 month old?
