Does your baby suffer with colic? It’s excessive crying in a baby under six months who otherwise is healthy. The cause is unknown, but it’s been linked to wind and tummy pain.
It’s thought putting your baby down in a slightly raised position lets gravity help her stomach contents stay in place, which helps avoid the problem of reflux.
Leanne Burnham-Richards, 28, from Gloucestershire, is mum to Imogen, 19 weeks. She says: ‘Every evening from 5pm to 6.30pm Imogen gets colicky and cries. I need something to help her feel more content and comfortable.
‘When I lay Imogen down when she’s already asleep, she often wakes up crying and screaming. With this foam support, she stayed asleep more often.’
