I thought this would be a great product for our new baby but he slides down so that his head is between the wedges and that makes me feel uncomfortable. He also is starting to wiggle around alot more and some times he wiggles his little head right off the top of the inclined to sleep bottom. This props his head back and seems very uncomfortable and unsafe. I use the side wedges attached to the sheets now but not the bottom of the sleeper. It worked good when he was days old but now he is 5 weeks and I can no longer feel safe using this product.
Rating: 4 - It worked for me and my baby
I wanted to share my experience with this positioner because I kept debating if I should purchase it or not and there were not many reviews on it, so it made me wonder how useful it really could be. I had registered for it and finally got it as a baby shower gift. I am glad I did. My son was a C-section baby and he has reflux and he seems to snore when he sleeps. This item is essential for babies who have reflux since it keeps their head elevated to help them sleep better through the night. I gave it 4 stars because like the other mom shared, my baby does slide down but I have never found him face down or in a position that he might suffocate. He has been sleeping on the positioner since birth and he is now 6 weeks old. The solution I found to help with the sliding is placing a towel (making a U shape) that is sturdy enough to prevent him from sliding and it works.
Rating: 5 - The Best Sleep Positioner We Could Have Found
We bought this sleep positioner for our infant daughter because of my paranoia of SIDS as well as our daughter's reflux. We absolutely love it. The memory foam will protect against a flattened head. The positioner pieces are firm and stick well to the wedge cover. We've found that, as our daughter gets older and kicks more in the morning, she tends to slide down between the positioner pieces, but we can still use the actual wedge to keep her on an incline.
