Have you trued a reflux wedge or if its an option a mechanical bed that you can adjust to him?
Really worked wonders getting my two to sleep longer through the night, along with no food 2 hours priir and only acid controlling snacks later in the evening.
My 8 year old has his turtle that makes stars on tge ceiling, so does baby, baby still uses heart beat lamb.
After a ton of natural sounds CDs we found of all thing bag pipe CD's (read it in our Scientific America mag) work the best for relaxation and insomnia.
Milo's mexhanical bed also vibrates...he loves it but at this point its unplugged on school nights or he starts playing earthquake survival pretend at bed time...no matter where I hide the remote, he finds it!!!!
Your doctor can actually write an rx for the bed and depending on your insurance it maybe or even partially covered. For use it wasn't...but it is a tax write off we just retain the receipt & RX.
Bummed to know now there are actually medical RX covered wedges as well.
Oh if you do get a wedge buy some industrial vencro and attach the wedge directly to the mattress, trust me huge diff. I should have thought of it in the get go. Fit right inder the bed pad we use cotton allergy waterproof covers rather than fitted sheets. |
