So I seem to have an irrational fear of DS sleeping flat since he has reflux. If your baby had/has reflux do they sleep on a wedge or any incline, and till how old? I just want to see if I'm overreacting in my fear that he's gonna choke in his sleep

LO2 is 5 months (3.5 months adjusted) and we just took her crib off risers this weekend. She's done great - I could tell she was ready. She is spitting up a ton, but her silent reflux symtoms (gagging, coughing, hard swallowing with crying, etc...) had decreased enough that I'd thought she'd be ok...and she was! I still have the Rock and Play out for bad days, so we'll see how often she needs it.

@Madison43: I didn't even think of risers! What height are they?

The set we got is stackable so you can adjust as needed. We started at the tallest, which was 8 inches and.a pretty significant angle, moved down to 5 inches when she got a little bigger (and was scooting out of nest I made) and then just transition to no riser at all.

We just used a small flat pillow under one side of the crib mattress, then, a rolled muslin swaddle, then flat. We didn't go totally flat until just about when we started weaning off meds at 5.5 months. He was in the RNP for about 6 weeks, but he hated the confinement so then we moved to the inclined crib. He moved a ton in his sleep so we didn't do a nest and just dealt with it if he rolled to the foot of the bed in the night.

My second son spit up a ton including in his sleep, which really freaked me out. I had him in the Rock n Play until 5m. Spit up wasn't any better then but he could roll and I figured he would start side or tummy sleeping.
