[quote=Anonymous]There is a wedge you can buy at most baby stores that fits perfectly underneath the crib sheet, on to of the mattress - just elevates their heads a few inches. We hung onto it and still use it when our now post-reflux baby has a bad cold. Burping and keeping upright are key; for us another big issue was making sure the meds were right - Prevacid dosages need to be adjusted frequently and the compounded version can lose effectiveness (this is something of a debate about how quickly etc; all I know is once I read up on this and changed to solutabs, sleep became much much better.) Finally, with our ped's blessing (although she said she couldn't formally advise this because of AAP recs) we started letting him sleep on his stomach much earlier than you're supposed to do. (I forget now, but it might have been at 2 months?) I slept next to his crib and agonized about it but he was infinitely more comfortable. Good luck![/quote]
