How does one elevate their LOs head in the crib?

SparkleTart

DS has bronchiolitis.  The pedi said that he needed to sleep with his head elevated.  Anyone do this in their LOs crib?  He could sleep in his swing or carseat, but I would rather have him sleep in the crib if possible.

they have wedges you can buy that you put under the sheet to put him at an angle

We put pillows under the mattress.

We put a rolled up blanket under the mattress. My ds had bronchiolitis last month. It passed pretty quickly. Hope LO feels better soon!

Maybe you can buy a crib wedge which you just put under the crib sheet?  BRU sells one.

I got the Dex Baby crib wedge on Amazon for $12. It won't help you tonight, though, but I'm sure BRU has them.

I roll up blankets and put them under the crib sheet or under the sheet saver (for me, it's easier under the sheet saver). We've had dd sleeping like this for about a week now since she's been sick

They have the crib wedge thingie at BRU.  I didn't know if anyone had one and/or if they were a waste of money.  Maybe we'll try the pillow or rolled up blanket thing and if that doesn't work we'll zip on over to BRU tonight.

If you don't want to buy one from BRU or BBB, you can roll towels into different sizes to make it slope so LO's neck won't be in an odd position.  Roll three towels or more, one large, one med, and one small, then place under sheet to create your own slope.

towles under the mattress on one end.  Usually though we have to use the swing locked in b/c she'll just squirm down to the other end.

I put a bunch of folded quilts and a pillow and a crib sheet and a comforter to make it elevated.. since LO has reflux and cannot sleep in the car seat. It doesnt look very elevated, but there is a plunge where LO's butt is, so he is pretty much elevated.

 

He loves his new crib toy btw
