Nap Nanny for Babies with Reflux

The Nap Nanny has been such a relief for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Their preemie daughter has Reflux and they are finally getting more than a couple hours of sleep because of the Nap Nanny!

The Nap Nanny was designed by a mother to improve infant sleep. Parents often use a wedge to elevate their baby in an effort to get them to sleep but babies often roll off the wedge. The Nap Nanny cradles the baby more like a car seat and keeps baby at an angle, necessary for those who have Reflux.

Our daughter also had Reflux and spent most of her napping time in the bouncer. I would have liked to have the Nap Nanny so that she could have slept soundly in her crib. I can attest to the wedge not working for us. I returned it after the second time she had scooted down it and was laying flat.

I'm glad someone thought of it and it is helping my niece (and brother-in-law and sister-in-law) much needed sleep!
