How to Use a Baby Sleep Pillow Sleep Positioner:
A sleep positioner can help your newborn in a number of ways: if he has reflux, raising his head can alleviate painful symptoms. If he's getting a flat spot on his head from sleeping in the same position, you can use the positioner to vary his head's angle ever so slightly from night to night. You can even use a positioner in the family bed, to prevent you rolling onto your newborn. If you follow all the safety guidelines, a positioner can often help your newborn get more restful and healthful sleep
- Choose a sleep positioner that's breathable. Your newborn may roll into it and not be able to roll back, so it's crucial that he be able to breathe through it. Choose one made of mesh if possible
- Remove all the packaging from the sleep positioner, including any stickers that can come off and pose choking hazards
- Wash your sleep positioner before you use it for the first time, to remove any potential chemical residue that might be lingering from the manufacturing process
- Set up the sleep positioner in your baby's crib or in the family bed. Its bolsters, which are the parts that keep your newborn in a good sleep position, should be firmly attached. Usually they're attached with Velcro to make removing and washing them easier. Make sure you press the Velcro together firmly so the bolsters don't come loose. If you've got a sleep positioner with an elevated head area, place the positioner so the head area is where you want your baby's head to rest
- Check that all Velcro patches are covered up, so their rough surfaces won't scratch your baby
- Place your newborn in the sleep positioner. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends you put your baby to sleep on his back, because this may reduce the risk of SIDS. Since your newborn can't roll over yet, sleeping on his stomach may be dangerous if he obstructs his air flow while doing so, because he may not be able to free himself
- Adjust the bolsters of the sleep positioner so they're snugly against your baby's sides. This will keep him in one position and prevent rolling
- Place your baby slightly on his left or right side each night if you're using the sleep positioner to alleviate plagiocephaly, or a flat spot on baby's head. Vary his position nightly, but never place him on his stomach
How Long Should a Baby Use a Sleep Positioner?
- Safety Guidelines for Sleep Positioners: Manufacturers of infant sleep positioners, also called sleep wedges, market them as tools that may reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The occurrence of SIDS has declined since 1992, when the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that babies be placed on their backs to sleep. Although there are various styles, the general concept of a sleep positioner is that it will hold the baby in place on his back, preventing him from rolling over, and will ultimately decrease the chance of SIDS. Safety guidelines for their use suggest that parents remove the positioner as soon as the baby is able to roll voluntarily, as they can become a hazard for suffocation if a baby rolls where his face may be in the padding
- Critics of Sleep Positioners: Although it is recommended that parents remove the positioner once the baby is able to roll independently, critics warn against their use at any point. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not endorse the use of any products that claim to reduce the risk of SIDS, including sleep positioners. First Candle, formerly The SIDS Alliance, advises against their use entirely
- Bottom Line: While sleep positioners are marketed as a tool for reducing SIDS, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to put their babies on their backs to sleep in a crib that is free from any objects, including sleep wedges or positioners. However, there is no ban on the production or marketing of these products. Parents who choose to use a sleep positioner should remove it as soon as the baby shows signs of being able to roll over voluntarily
