Currently we have bed risers under two legs of his crib so it's propped up at an angle. It looks pretty ridiculous but it works like a charm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059781 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 17:16:50 +0000 gingerbebe 2059781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on Prevacid - Zantac stopped working after a month. We bought the Fisher Price Sit Me Up chair and just parked him in there after every day feed because it was hard to just hold him for 20 minutes every time. At night he slept in his crib - we just kept a pillow under one end to keep it inclined. He hated the RNP bc he doesn't like feeling confined. He did roll down to the foot of the crib by the morning but the doctor said it was fine - as long as he's inclined as he's falling asleep. We started gradually lowering the incline on the mattress over time because once he started rolling it was hard to keep him inclined. Now he sleeps on a flat mattress and keeps upright in the jumparoo during the day. DS is 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059769 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:56:51 +0000 MrsKoala 2059769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was in the Rock N Play until 11 weeks and then we moved him to his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059768 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:55:01 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2059768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did RNP for about 4 months, then PNP in our room. I think we elevated it from the legs, just not a ton. When he moved to his crib , we elevated with a towel under the mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059730 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:02:29 +0000 winniebee 2059730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: i am hoping a change in meds helps with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059724 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:57:07 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2059724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: it does get better! Once we stopped diaper changing I could just pick him up, feed, and put him right back down. No spitting up because he was so relaxed. I don't think we did that until 4mo or so though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059716 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:47:26 +0000 winniebee 2059716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: yep all of our night wakings are 30+ mins Bc if keeping him upright. So annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059704 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:32:08 +0000 blackbird 2059704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was in a rock n play until about 5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059699 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:25:56 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2059699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yep, and it usually woke him up (mostly from naps). Early on we started keeping him upright for 20mins after feedings, which helped a lot. It especially sucked in the middle of the night though! We haven't had to do that for a while though, and when he wakes up to eat I pretty much dreamfeed and put him right back down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059689 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:10:51 +0000 spaniellove 2059689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he was younger he used to sleep on an incline in his Nuna Sena and then in the crib. Eventually the ped said to just have him lie flat because he was working his way around the crib in circles and rolling, so the incline was pointless. But she did also have us cut out any nighttime feeding. It was tough at first but we eventually got his sleep back on track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059688 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:09:13 +0000 winniebee 2059688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: did he spit up? I was told by pediatrician to have him sleep on an incline because he spits up constantly even in his sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059685 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:05:57 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2059685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 6mo and had always slept in the crib. Zantac didn't help him either, so we switched to Omeprazole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-does-your-reflux-baby-sleep#post-2059678 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 14:56:20 +0000 winniebee 2059678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is 2m and has reflux (spit up and distress after eating). He's on Zantac but its not effective so we are seeing a GI specialist this week. Currently he sleeps in the rock n play. I can't imagine keeping him there after he learns to roll. </p> <p>Where does your reflux baby sleep? Always on an incline? How old is s/he? </p>
