Tucker Wedge/Sling

We are currently using the wedge/sling combo with fair success. The only way Tess would sleep (since day 1) was if we held her. She was on our chests all night long. We just moved her to the wedge last week. We use it in conjuction with the Miracle Blanket because she has such a strong startle reflex. Poor thing looks like Hannibal Lecter all strapped down! She does OK there. She is sleeping in shorter stretches as compared to when we were holding her but I guess that’s to be expected until she gets used to her new surroundings. To be honest, we didn’t try just putting her flat on her back to sleep so I can’t tell you if the wedge is helping her sleep. It could just be a coincidence. But she does sleep. HTH!

Christa, my daughter has been in the sling/wedge since 8 weeks old. She sleeps on her tummy and started sleeping better from day 1. I don’t know why, but some refluxers feel better laying on their tummies. We have a danny sling brought home from the hospital. You may want to try a hospital pharmacy, but i heard the tucker sling was wonderful and you can place the whole thing in the bed with you. (ours ties to the crib). We had an apnea monitor at that age but as she matured we no longer need it. Alot of moms use the angel care monitor from babies r us. I think you will see a big difference in his sleeping habits and get some sleep yourself! I remember the chest sleeping for the first 2 months!
