Re: New Here..need some advice

Hi -

The one thing that worked the best for us was part of a sleep

positioner. My sister-in-law lent me one that had wedges that were

velcroed to a pad so that you could place them specifically where you

needed them. So I just used one wedge and a sheet saver (the ones that

tie to the crib rails because the pad that came with the positioner

didn't have ties and I was worried about it moving) and would wedge it

under the flat side of the head to keep his head straight. Normally he

would wiggle down from it by morning, but at least for most of the

night, it would hold him up off his flat spot. It did help, so it

might be worth trying.

Good luck!
