Or a sleep positioner?

I literally had a couple in my hands at the baby store today, but decided that they might not be effective. We have the end of the bassinette propped up on books, but Liam keeps slipping down at night.

We used them both of them for a while to varying degrees of success. How old is Liam? We used the sleep positioner (the little cushing things that you put on either side of the babie’s sides) for a while. I think I stopped maybe around 4 or 5 months or so. She started moving more and one day got stuck with her arms above her because she had moved down too far!

We also used the mattress wedge (raised the head of the mattress) until Dagney could roll over. Once she rolled over i was afraid her little face could get stuck in the angle where the wedge met the crib (I know it says to put it under the mattress in the directions, probably for this reason, but we didn’t think it would get crushed under the weight of the mattress). Now we just have books under the legs at the head of the crib.

I would say the little positioner that you put at their sides is worth it, but I think the books under the legs probably work just as well, or better because you can make it higher or lower as you prefer it.

We had a sleep positioner for Kate that I bought at Target and she kept slipping off of it. What worked for us is the Snugglies you get off of Ambybaby.com. Then again we never used them to elavate her bassinet but she loved them! They were like 15 bucks or something. Just something to think about. Hope you find something that works!!!

I have Haley’s mattress propped and to keep her from slidding down, I’ve taken towels and rolled then up and put them underneath the sheets so that it makes a u-shape and it just craddles her in and she doesn’t slide down. She loves it.

We don’t use a wedge, but we prop the crib mattress up with a big quilt, then have in a sling so he doesn’t slide down the incline. It’s worked well for us.

We’ve propped up Keaton’s mattress with pillows under it to help his reflux and it seems to be helping. We also use a sleep positioner (the kind you put them in the middle of two air cushions) and a swaddler but sometimes in the morning he has slipped to the bottom. What is a sling and how does it work to stop him from slipping? What else has everyone used to stop the slipping affect?
