Using a pillow

Golf424

Does anyone put a pillow under the crib sheet for baby to sleep on? She sleeps great elevated on a pillow... but thats when I am awake and checking on her.

No but I heard that's a great way to help LOs with reflux. If it's under the crib sheet or under the mattress itself, it's safe to use because LO can't suffocate on it.

It is not really safe to add anything under the baby's crib sheet. The mattress should be firm and the sheets tight fitting. You can elevate the mattress by adding a pillow under IT or the crib by stacking books or something under one side.

okay well whats worse... putting the pillow under the crib sheet or pulling her into bed w/ me because she isn't sleeping well. BTW we are using an arms reach co sleeper, and I am thinking the little mattress just isn't as comfy for her.

My LO hates her arms reach too. I just think it's not as comfy. I just bring her to bed with me.

Putting anything soft under the crib sheet is not safe. It would be safer for you to bring her to bed with you than to add things under the sheet. That greatly increases the risk of SIDS. Bringing her to bed with you has its risks too, but your mom instinct is there with you and her in your bed.
