HI ALL,
hope all had a great thanksgiving ...... here is my question i am moving my 7 1/2 week old baby out of her bassinet and into her crib, she has a problem with formaula coming out her nose and was wondering is there a way to prop up the mattress for her , had 3 olther children and they never had this problem i am nervous about putting her in the crib but she is starting to like my bed lol ....... thank you all and have a good night L.
First suggestion, take a few hard covered books and prop matress from the bottom up (this is where the babies head should be).
Second suggestion, try putting the baby in the crib for naps. Eventually the idea of being in the crib at night won't be such a new deal.
Hope I could help!
what my ped told me to do when my kids had colds and need to be propped up a bit was to stick a blanket under one side of the mattress to elevate it. also, i've seen sleep positioners that have a foam pad in them to create an incline under the baby. hope that helps :)
Hi! Keep in mind that baby sleeping in your bed increases the risk of suffication drastically!
My Dr. told me to place a pillow (not too fluffy) under the crib mattress to slightly elevate for situations like this.
Hope this helps...
check in babies r us or a store like that. They sell a wedge that the baby can sleep on.
