Otherwise, I would go with some kind of gear - RnP, swing, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-use-to-have-lo-sleep-on-incline#post-1832402 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 12:07:02 +0000 artsyfartsy 1832402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I was just looking this up. Someone referred me to Mrs Blue's blog post when T wouldn't sleep in the pack n play as a newborn because he felt isolated.

It uses rolled up towels under the fitted sheet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-use-to-have-lo-sleep-on-incline#post-1832393 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:52:30 +0000 MrsH 1832393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: we used the rock n play for E's reflux issues. After she stopped fitting in that we used a crib wedge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-use-to-have-lo-sleep-on-incline#post-1832391 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:51:05 +0000 Mae 1832391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the day when I can keep an eye on Fia napping, I put a pillow under one side of her pack n play bassinet "mattress" to keep her upper body at a slight incline. She has never rolled off of it, but I worry about her rolling so I don't do it at night. I wonder if you could build some sort of nest with rolled up towels? Like incline the mattress and then put rolled up towels or blankets under the sheet on either side of LO to keep him from rolling? I'm not sure how safe that would be? But I'm also not sure how else to keep him from rolling if you don't want to just have him sleep in a RnP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-use-to-have-lo-sleep-on-incline#post-1832388 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:49:53 +0000 rattles 1832388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ped suggested I slide a couple of my old law textbooks under one end of the crib mattress. It worked like a charm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-use-to-have-lo-sleep-on-incline#post-1832386 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:48:18 +0000 spaniellove 1832386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were talking to the ped today, he told us not to let LO sleep flat at all, to keep him upright at all times like in a car seat. We have a Mamaroo but I don't think he'd tolerate it for too long, and I can only put his bassinet/crib mattress at a slight angle before he starts rolling into the corner. (The issue is that his reflux is causing apnea.)</p> <p>Is there anything else you can think of that we should try? </p>
