[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. We have tried raising one end of the mattress in a number of different ways...nothing worked. Even when he didn't slide, he didn't like being on the raised end of his bed.

Not sure what to do next...he doesn't like the swing and after reviewing the tucker sling and RESQ wedge...these are expensive items that I am not sure I want to buy unless I know they will help.[/quote]

Some simpler things to try.  Make a towel roll and put it in a U under a fitted mattress sheet so that it makes a little horseshoe for your DS.  Then put him in the horseshoe with his head on the middle of the U and his feet coming out the open end.  The point is to have his head higher than his stomach and not have any loose materials that could pose a suffocation risk to the baby.

We also have a boppy pillow and cover it with a receiving blanket (big one with the corners tucked under the pillow) and put him in the pillow the same was as above.  If you are worried about the suffocation risk, you can leave the receiving blanket off, but we find that the blanket helps when ours still occasionally spits up.  The blanket them goes into the daily kids' laundry.[/quote]
