I just went and bought one thanks to you ladies. DD has AR and we have been putting her in the car seat or vibrating seat at night. Some nights she will eat and go right back to sleep other nights he is up for 2 hours at a time. She is fussing or just ansy/figdety like she can't get comfortable. Can't wait to try out the RNP tonight.
Re: Tell me yor RNP success stories.
The RNP is the best thing we have bought for DS. It is amazing how well he sleeps in it. He has severe AR this thing has actually helped him sleep through the night most nights for the past couple of weeks. Sleeping him on his back was a complete joke and even the swing only bought us 2 or 3 hours at a time. The first night we put him in the RNP he slept 6 hours straight. Last night he slept from 9:30 PM until 5:00 AM and then slept from 6:00 AM until 9:15 AM.
The position of the RNP also helps keep him from choking and aspirating when he spits up while he is sleeping. He has tried to choke a couple of times but, since he was upright, he was able to clear it mostly himself and I have only had to turn him over and whack him on the back one time. Now we sleep him upright AND on his side and it's really easy to position him properly in the RNP.
RNP=Fisher Price Rock and Play Sleeper
AR=Acid Reflux
the sides are mesh so they are breathable.
And Ds sleeps best in his RNP, he cant lay down on his back for at least 2 hours after eating or he spits up so i always put him in there. It has been a godsend, I hope it works as well for you!
The mesh part is not around the baby's head so that's is why I am questioning it.
