As new parents, the well-being of our little ones is always at the forefront of our minds. Every hiccup, sneeze, and cough can bring a world of worry. A common concern many of us face is baby reflux, or infant acid reflux. In this guide, we explore the nature of baby reflux, its commonality, and how the Kribelevate Wedge can offer a comforting solution.
What Causes Baby Reflux?
Baby reflux happens when stomach contents re-enter the esophagus or mouth. This condition, more common in infants due to their developing digestive systems, often results in spit-ups. While it can be messy, it's usually not painful or harmful.
Surprisingly common, infant acid reflux affects over half of all newborns. Thankfully, as their digestive systems mature, most infants outgrow reflux by their first birthday.
Key Facts About Baby Reflux
- Not Just About Food: Reflux can happen anytime, not just after feeding, due to the immature valve between the stomach and esophagus.
- Varied Symptoms: Reflux may also present as hiccups, eating refusal, and discomfort when lying flat.
- Typically Harmless: Most reflux cases are physiologic, meaning they occur naturally without underlying issues.
Elevating Comfort with Kribelevate:
Elevating your baby's head and upper body is a simple yet effective strategy for mitigating reflux symptoms. This is where our Kribelevate Crib and Bassinet Wedge shines:- Gravity's Gentle Touch: With a gentle 7º incline, the Kribelevate Wedge utilizes gravity to keep stomach contents in place, thereby reducing reflux episodes.
- Designed for Digestion: Our wedge's precise angle aids smoother digestion, minimizing spit-ups and discomfort.
- Restful Nights: By elevating the crib, the Wedge enhances sleep quality, alleviating discomfort that could disturb your baby's sleep.
The Crib Wedge has been thoughtfully developed to provide a safe and comforting solution for reflux and sleep disturbances. It spans the crib's width and most of its length, ensuring an optimal 7º incline that is both pediatrician-recommended and within safe sleep guidelines. This unique design ensures that regardless of where your baby sleeps, they benefit from improved digestion and a more restful sleep.
Incorporating the Wedge into your baby's sleep routine not only offers them the support needed to alleviate the discomforts of reflux but also ensures peaceful nights for both of you. If you have any concerns about your baby's health or reflux severity, always consult with a pediatrician for personalized advice and reassurance.
