Infants Sleeping in Car Seats

 

When my son was an infant and had acid reflux, we tried everything to make him comfortable for sleeping. We were told to elevate his crib and keep him upright. Of course when we elevated his crib, he would slide to the bottom or end up sideways. So next, he slept in the car seat, the swing, the bouncy seat and on our chests if we were semi-inclined. These methods worked sometimes, other times he just didn't sleep no matter what! This is when I adapted his crib so that I could elevate it and he wouldn't slide down. We were happy to have him sleeping in his crib as we thought this was safer for him. It has been shown that infant car seats lower oxygen levels in the blood during sleep in about 20% of infants.
