We watched a great nurse in the hospital incline his mattress and then make a U at his feet to keep him from sliding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-to-elevate-mattress#post-2007466 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:50:21 +0000 mrbee 2007466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Mrs. Blue used a 30-45 degree incline for her kids with reflux!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/09/03/surviving-reflux-colds-angle-sleeping-and-crib-nests/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/09/03/surviving-reflux-colds-angle-sleeping-and-crib-nests/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-to-elevate-mattress#post-2007461 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:40:33 +0000 regberadaisy 2007461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually only elevated with one receiving blanket with DD 1. DD 2 has had a bad cough so I was keeping her in the swing. But her sleep has been so crappy I thought what the heck might as well make the crib transition now. I was reading and some sites are saying 6" / 30 degrees!! That seems high!<br /> I added another receiving blanket and I would say her mattress is about 1. 5" / 10-15 degree elevated right now. </p> <p>How far do you typically elevate the crib mattress when LO has a cough or for reflux / other health concerns? </p>
