So...why choose a Wedgehog? -------------------------------- Know Your Foam Wedgehogs are manufactured with hypo-allergenic CMHR 30 density foam and they also comply with the rigorous requirements of BS 1877 Part 10 for safety and performance and BS 7177 for flammability. To be 'Know Your Foam' certified the Wedgehog has the following qualities. Fresh - Our foam is never more than 12 weeks old. Many baby products use foam that is 1-2 years old manufactured by the container load in the Far East. Pure - Wedgehogs DO NOT contain Arsenic and antimony which are used as preservatives in many flame retardants. This is especially so in foam brought in from eastern Europe and the Far East where regulations are not as strict as the UK. Wedgehogs are made 100% in the UK. No Memory Foam - 'memory foam' or foams that 'shape' themselves around a babies head should not be used in a cot or crib. Wedgehogs™ are pressure resistant which is safe.
Simple - Wedgehogs are unpigmented and free of colouring. Treated foams that contain colourants or preservatives might look pretty but are not fit for use by babies.

These were good but they smelt damp when they arrived. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem they are not washable so I'm the end we threw them away. I am very disappointed with this purchase as couldn't really use it due to the most awful toxic smell! Moment I opened it had to put it straight outside due to smell I bought this to put in the pran as i usually go out to do all my errands right after a feed as my baby is more likely to fall asleep.
Really good and effective. Helped with Silent Reflux. The little man liked being propped up a bit. You get two so can put in the pram too. I've now put in the Cotbed. Definitely useful for reflux - buy two, one for the changing mat and one for the cot. Promoted in: The Baby Crying Guide: Practical Advice to Calm or Treat Excessive Crying and... Fantastic purchase to help my son, however the only downfall is the smell! Great price, really helped my baby with his reflux problem during the night and also in his pram See and discover other items: reflux baby wedge Look for similar items by categoryLet me begin with a heartfelt apology to new mothers everywhere, for I have done you all a grave disservice. When my first daughter, Lily, was born, she slept through at five weeks. Yes, the entire night – at five weeks. As my new mum-chums staggered about with bloodshot eyes, bent double with the sort of crippling tiredness that seeps into the bone marrow, I secretly, smugly assumed they must doing something wrong and only had themselves to blame.
After all, it wasn’t exactly rocket science to feed, wind and pop a compliant baby into her Moses basket for 10 hours. A wakeful infant was due to a lack of structure; Then my second daughter, Tabitha, was born and seemed intent on creating merry hell from dusk until dawn. By day she was a sweet little poppet, but every evening she howled for hours on end. Worse, whenever she did accidentally nod off between bellows of rage, she had the hearing of a pipistrelle and would wake up, apoplectic, if I so much as whispered two floors below in the sitting room. The general consensus from friends, family and the staff at the baby clinic was “colic”, a vague, catch-all term that simply means “your baby is crying all the time, and we don’t know why, or particularly care, but resist the temptation to put her outside in the recycling box and she’ll cheer up in a few months”. “Every baby’s different,” other mothers would platitudinise, with a knowing smile, and I would have to sit on my hands in a Herculean effort not to punch them.
I didn’t want different, I wanted exactly the same. And so, having always sworn I wouldn’t co-sleep, I banished my husband to the sofa and took Tabitha into bed with me. Although it did stop her yelling, I absolutely hated it, as I felt on duty all night and barely slept a wink in case I crushed her. The hours would pass in a nightmarish daze of frenzied breastfeeding, sweating and flailing, and in the morning I would be strung out and resentful, my Casesarian scar throbbing horribly from all the contortion. On the occasional night when I attempted to settle her in her basket, all hell would break loose, and her piteous cries of abandonment would rent the air until we rescued her. Five weeks in, my own piteous cries had reached such a crescendo that a friend gave me the number of baby guru Alison Scott-Wright, apparently dubbed “The Magic Sleep Fairy” by her legion of grateful Mumsnet clients. Frankly I would have happily employed The Enchanted Voodoo Witch Lady, so long as she delivered a decent night’s rest.
Scott-Wright, a former maternity nurse, whose book The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan is published this week, specialises in settling babies into a sleep routine. Herself a mother – and comfortingly, a grandmother – she understands the stress (aka psychopathic hysteria) that fretful nights can cause. Controversially, she rejects the Department of Health advice that babies should sleep in the same room as their parents for six months. She also advocates three-hourly instead of four-hourly feeds throughout the day, so baby doesn’t rely on night waking to take in crucial calories. Above all, she is on a one-woman campaign to highlight awareness of reflux, a condition where the contents of the stomach come back up into the gullet, causing a burning sensation due to the acid in the stomach contents, a situation exacerbated by the current practice of laying babies to sleep on their backs to avoid cot death. Over a series of lengthy telephone calls and e-mails, Scott-Wright first established that Tabitha had a mild case of silent reflux, where there was no vomiting but there was discomfort.
She recommended I tilt her Moses basket so her head was slightly higher than her feet, to reduce the amount of semi-digested milk rising into her throat, and to lie her on her side, firmly wedged with blankets. It worked a treat for more than a week and I felt as though a miracle had occurred – but then the crying started again. After carefully questioning me, Scott-Wright could see a pattern emerging; after breastfeeding her at great length before bedtime, the baby didn’t scream when I laid her down, but would loudly object when I turned off the light. If I left the light on, she would be reasonably happy for up to half an hour, and then start to bawl. “She’s hungry,” came the verdict. “You have low milk levels at the end of the day and she’s not getting enough at the evening feed. The light going out is making her anxious that she won’t be fed again. Give her a bottle.” I was initially hugely reluctant, not because I’m a purist earth mother, but simply because I hate the hassle of expressing milk and sterilising bottles.
After a few more insomniac nights, however, I gave it a go, pumping milk in the mornings in order to boost the evening feed. And lo, the “colic” disappeared as fast as Tabitha greedily guzzled down the bottle. Suddenly the mood of the entire household lifted – we could enjoy her in a way that had been impossible in the midst of our collective chronic exhaustion. It wasn’t an overnight cure but, as time went by, her sleeping improved more and more. “Sleep is everything,” says Scott-Wright. “A lot of babies are sleep-deprived, which is why, unlike some experts, I never recommend waking a sleeping baby at night for a “dream -feed”. If a baby is fed five times a day, it’s getting enough to drink and while a newborn will wake up to feed a few times, it should be sleeping through by about eight weeks.” She dismisses the idea of colic, and crucially believes that it is detrimental – to parents’ mental health, if not the baby itself – to simply accept hours of crying as being “normal” and something to be endured rather than treated.
“Most GPs don’t know much about silent reflux, and simply send parents away when they are concerned about crying – but babies cry to communicate. If they’re crying increasingly for long periods of time, then there’s something wrong and, in my experience, it’s usually a digestive issue.” Now past her first birthday, that turbulent early start is but a distant memory, and I am happy to report that Tabitha is now a phenomenal sleeper, settling down at 6.30pm and waking at 8am or later. Once, she didn’t stir until 9.30am. Oh dear, I think I owe another heartfelt apology to new mothers everywhere. TOP TIPS Never wake up a baby at night for a feed – be baby-led. Establish a bath and bedtime routine from day one. Newborns should be on a three-hourly schedule during the day, so wake them up to feed. Babies cry for a reason – if they are distressed for more than 10 minutes they are trying to tell you something is wrong. Babies often can’t sleep at night because they are overtired, so let them nap during the day.
