Pediatricians recommend elevating the head of the baby when it has an earache, cold, or acid reflux. For earaches, elevating the head, helps drain the build up fluids away from the eardrum, which relieves the pressure in the ear. With a cold or congestion, the elevation will help drain the congestion, which allows the baby to breath easier when lying down. With acid reflux, the elevation helps keeps your baby's food from coming back up and out of the stomach.

Place up to three Baby Bed Blocks under each leg at the top of the baby's crib, and carefully check that the slope of the crib is just right, so that the baby does not slide down. The flexibility of the blocks will help accommodate various elevations, so that you can adjust for the baby's size and condition. Baby Bed Blocks can raise the crib to maximum of 10 cm (4 inches) and are suitable for most legs with a diameter of less than 7 cm (2.75 inches).
