Use dictionaries or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291734 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:29:56 +0000 matador84 291734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about trying a rolled up a+a blanket temporarily...he is kind of a roller though so I have some reservations...maybe under the crib sheet? I use the blanket when I change him &amp; it seems to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291722 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:23:30 +0000 autumnlove 291722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a pillow under one end of the mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291718 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:21:11 +0000 winniebee 291718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO hated being flat on his back at first (would scream). So, we let him sleep in the R&amp;P until he was like 15 weeks when he showed cues of wanting to be on his back. We tried the crib wedge and it didn't help. When we transitioned him to the crib at 15 weeks, we tried the wedge again and he was too big for it. He moved too much and rolled down and off of it (like he was sledding!) So, for us it was not worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291709 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:15:03 +0000 Andrea 291709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: I only used it for a few weeks but I've heard other ladies say that they used it for much longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291696 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:06:52 +0000 matador84 291696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea no but it's an option I'm going to explore! How long would you let your LO sleep in it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291553 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 07:00:16 +0000 heffalump 291553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also used a rolled up towel. When she was elevated too much she would end up rolling down to the bottom of the crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291543 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:47:52 +0000 Andrea 291543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: do you have the rock n play? I used that in the beginning for more elevation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291534 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:35:50 +0000 matador84 291534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea we have been using a rolled up towel under the mattress but it doesn't elevate as much asthe wedge they wedge they used in his bed in the hospital. :-( just exploring options why he doesn't like going down in his crib as much... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291522 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:09:40 +0000 Andrea 291522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a rolled up towel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291511 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 04:43:36 +0000 looch 291511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use a small binder under the mattress instead, if you are aiming to prop up the baby a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-wedge#post-291508 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 02:51:57 +0000 matador84 291508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use one?
