5. Crib Wedge Cushion- A gentle angle elevates your baby’ s head for easier breathing when baby is congested, nasal drip reduction, better digestion and helps prevent acid reflux. Physicians recommend elevating the mattress to about 6 inches at the head which brings the incline to about 30 degrees. You can use materials at home such as towels or extra blankets or purchase a wedge or lift that can be removed easily when baby is feeling better.
Whatever remedy you choose for baby, always remember to consult your physician. Always seek the direct advice of your own doctor in connection with any questions or issues you may have regarding your own health or the health of others.
