A member asked:
Is a wedge pillow safe? my daughter is currently congested plus suffers from acid reflux. doctor wants her elevated but daycare will only use wedge.

Depends: I see the baby's age noted at 0, so I am concerned about this. If the baby is less than 12 month of age then she is still at risk for SIDS. Wedge pillows have been associated with SIDS or accidental suffocation in emerging studies. http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/news/20121121/infant-deaths-sleep-positioners Put a thick book under her entire crib mattress to elevate bed.
