The Babywedge Story

Our son was just one week old when we noticed that he wasn't holding his milk down, after almost every feed he would vomit, even after we burped him and put him down to sleep. We were very worried that our baby was in pain because he would draw his legs up towards his chest and make an awful uncomfortable noise. We were also concerned about his nutrition. The vomiting was becoming worse.

After many trips to doctors and hospitals, our son was diagnosed with infant reflux. We did not particularly like the idea of putting our son on a possible long term drug solution but felt we had no choice as we needed some relief for our son.

We contacted child health services and were told the only option that they knew of was telephone books under the bassinette/ cot wheels, an adult pillow to help prop up the bassinette or medication. We were not happy with any of these solutions, apart from being highly impractical we felt that the options available were not what we wanted for our little baby boy.

By 7 weeks we had introduced him to reflux medications as we felt we had no other choice. Our son seemed to respond well to the medicine but still this solution for us wasn’t ideal. and we were not happy that the only solution was a chemical one. My sister Sally and I set out on a mission to find a better solution to this distressing condition to try and reduce the need for medication. Along the way we discovered the babywedge was so much more...
