[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello! My four-month-old baby boy was recently diagnosed with silent gastroesophogeal reflux. One of the major pain points for infants with reflux is sleeping in comfort. He won't let me burp him after he eats (he usually nurses from one side and falls asleep) and when I put him on his back in the crib...he wakes up and cries in pain. Lately, I have tried putting him on his side, which seems like a comfortable position to him, however, he eventually rolls on his back and wakes up.

Does anyone have tips for getting a baby with reflux to sleep well? A friend of my MIL recommended the "nap nanny", but this product was recalled in 2010...it works like a sleep positioner and sleep positioners pose a risk of SIDS.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer!

FWIW, not all of the nap nannies were recalled - I think only the ones without the D rings under the cover - and then there was guidance for making sure you use the rings properly.  the injuries/death resulted from people using them in a crib - the babies flipped out and wedged head between nap nanny and crib.  We are using one now (on the floor) and it works well for DS.  When he was smaller he liked the FP rock and play sleeper but for some reason that lost its allure.  The nap nanny seems more comfortable.  A[/quote]
