We first got one of these to help with reflux. It worked wonderfully! With our next newborn, we were told to use this for the baby to sleep on when congested. Works like a charm.

Not sure what another poster was talking about with a zipper. We have these in every baby bed and none have a zipper, all are one piece of foam enclosed in vinyl with non-skid backing (just like the product description tells you).

We purchased this because my newborn was having trouble sleeping. She always woke up congested and strangled. Since we started using the wedge she hasn't had any problems at all she is 5 months old now.

I took away a star only because the wedge isn't lifted enough. Likely my fault it lists the description but my pediatrician said my 4 month old needs to be at a 45 degree angle, this one is about 30. She appears to be doing fine with that. It fits perfectly under her crib sheet. I have no idea what the issue is that everyone is talking about with regards to the zipper. No problems here. It fits the exact width of her crib so there's no worry about her rolling off the crib wedge. Here's a couple of things that I had to do:

1) The crib sheet tends to loosen with my baby in her crib. So I invested in fitted sheet holders that clamp the corners together so they do come loose. Easy to find at any target or here on Amazon.

2) My baby wiggles around like crazy! There's no strap to keep her in place so I did what the nurses did at the hospital during her stay: take a towel and roll it up. Make it into a big 'U' and put it right where she sleeps. She sleeps in the wedge, right in the middle of the 'U' Shape! Prevents her from rolling from side to side or sliding off the wedge. It's way less expensive than paying $80++ for the other ones online.

This product is great for tummy time and as a crib wedge. Ours came in one piece, as described. With our 4.5lb preemie, we threw a blanket over the wedge and used it for tummy time. This really helped her strengthen her neck better than just laying on the floor. Then, we used it to 'help' her roll over. This gave her momentum and cushioned the landing for her head. We now use as a wedge in her crib.

Bought this about a month ago for my Baby Girl. She is 5 months old now and doing much better sleeping with this product. I also feel more comfortable knowing she is elevated slightly at night time. This product does exactly what it says it does. Worth every penny! Mr. Mom.

First, I was very excited to open and use my infant's new crib wedge. My daughter has very bad reflux and a wedge was suggested to me by her pediatrician. I was very disappointed to find that it is not ONE solid wedge, but two small foam wedges that you place in a plastic/vinyl case.

That night we tried it out. By the first feeding at 3am it was clear that this wedge would not be safe for our infant. She had rolled right down, onto her belly with her face in the bumpers of her crib! We had to remove the crib bumpers, which made us uncomfortable because now she would roll and bump her head on the crib slats. And she did.

Finally, we decided to put the bumpers back on and prop her with rolled up receiving blankets. Sounds comfortable, eh? Well -- we remedied one issue to find another. Just as I suspected, her head parted the two wedges and now there is a dip between them. I was so happy to read all of the positive reviews... but what do you expect for $13.00?

This wedge works really great with my little one. I was able to fit it in our packn'play while we waited on her crib. Only downfall is that she will move down or to the side. Although this is not a problem with the product, just thought consumers should know for safety reasons. My little one is able to sleep better in her crib and stroller with this insert.

The reviews listed here are for two different products: one is the product here, a one-piece crib wedge by Dex for $15-ish, the second being the foldable crib wedge also by Dex for $30-ish. The reviewers who left negative reviews about two pieces and zippers obviously purchased the second product and left their review under the wrong product; the wedge they are reviewing can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Safe-Lift-Universal-Wedge-foldable/dp/B004Y3FLE4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1326473230&sr=8-2 (search amazon for Dexbaby foldable crib wedge). Hope this clears up any confusion for other parents researching crib wedges.

I have had this for my 2 year old since he went into his crib at 5 months old. He had reflux as a baby and it worked well for that. It is also great to use when he is congested. In fact, I just keep it under his crib mattress all the time now.
I am on Amazon looking for another one for my 4 month old. Only negative thing I can say is that the company that is selling it through Amazon is crazy to try and charge $39.99 for this product. I got the one for my 2 year old at Babies R Us for $14.99 and they currently carry it for $16.99.
Great product, but you can get it much cheaper at Babies R Us! Also, as much as I like it, it is definitely not worth almost $40!

This product has been a sleep savior for my husband, me, and baby. She had reflux from about 1 month old, so could never sleep flat on her back without spitting up within 10 min of being put down. She would wake up crying because of it and could not go back to sleep. We tried putting her on her tummy, which worked, but we were so afraid of SIDS that we knew we had to figure something else out.

We paired this product with a first years air flow sleep positioner so that she would not slide. By itself, she would slide down and still wake up. It was awesome!! She started sleeping through the night and began napping very well (at home and at daycare). She went from sleeping 10 hours a day to 15-16 hours a day since she was not being interrupted by waking up with spit up all the time. It also really helped when she got her first cold, because the angle helped her to breathe.
