Where does your child sleep if they have reflux?

We tried raising one side of the mattress but when he was napping one day and I found he had rolled to the bottom I ended that immediately.  And, I only had a towel under the mattress. 

He sleeps most nights in the FP infant to toddler rocker.  Every so often in the bouncy seat, but I hate to have him sleep in the same thing he spends his days in.  The car seat, I feel, puts him at a "c" shaped angle and I don't think that helps at all.

The reflux seems to be getting better so my hope is a move to the crib is in our future, but in the meantime, I'm curious what others are using. 

Thanks in advance!

Reflux sucks! We tried a few things. We did the Nap Nanny which worked pretty well for him. We also got a small crib wedge and put that under the mattress and placed him on his side in a crib positioner (which have since been recalled) when he got a little bigger. Some people have also had luck with the Rock N Play sleeper. We did the Nap Nanny mostly and eventually moved to the crib on his side. He was never a back sleeper though and by 4 months and at 17lbs I put him on his tummy to sleep. That was really what did the trick and also by then he mostly had outgrown his reflux.

We had the same problem when we tried to prop up the PNP mattress.  DD sleeps in her bouncy seat.

We use the FP Rock N Play sleeper for DS with a Snuzzler (by Kiddopotamus) in it.  It seems to help a lot and he started sleeping through the night in it at 3 months.  GL!

We propped the crib mattress with books, used a wedge, and put a rolled up towel at his feet (under the sheet) to keep him from sliding down.  It was all very complicated to set up but it worked. Hang in there! Reflux is terrible!
