Propping up the crib mattress
We finally got DS to sleep in the crib.  Friday night was horrible, but last night was much better. We used the sleep positioner and Miracle Blanket, but DS kept sliding down the sleep positioner. Whenever he slid down, he'd wake up and cry. He definitely likes being on an incline b/c of his reflux, but it makes me nervous that he kept moving down on the sleep positioner.
What can I safely use to keep the crib mattress on an incline?

I have one, got it at BBB for about 15 dollars. It fits under the crib mattress perfectly and does provide an incline for babies that don't like to lie flat.

Re: Propping up the crib mattress
Is your sleep position the one where you can remove the sides? I took the sides off and put it under the top of the mattress (actually 2 positioners side by side). I think you could probably just fold up towels as well and stick those under the mattress. You probably don't need to spend money on a wedge. I like DS's mattress inclined but he still winds up at the bottom of the mattress. We have to try and move him up while he sleeps.

believe it or not...no incline was enough for DD's refulx. Pedi wanted her in the carseat..so she sleeps in the carseat in the crib. Even with the incline in there as well.

This is the one we have. The little side pillows are detachable.

Re: Propping up the crib mattress
I used to roll up two towels and put them under the mattress. My ped's suggestion.
