We have had some congestion in our house for a while. . . mostly due to teething - evil EVIL molars!!!! Ive read and received suggestions to lift the mattress or crib somehow on one side, but I constantly feel like my kids will just roll to the bottom in a little ball and the lift will serve nothing but to banish them to a corner of their own beds. SO, we pulled out our old wedge pillow - the one we use when ourselves are congested!! E was initially the only one having the issue, so we set him up with the pillow. He seemed to sleep on it quite a bit. We have a video monitor and I can see them both pretty clearly during nap time. (it also has night vision, but is obviously not as good as day time) Soon, N got congested too. We've seen the dr. . . . its just teething yucky-ness. So, off to Bed Bath and Beyond to get another wedge!

Both boys sleep pretty well on their wedges, and I really feel like its been helping with the coughing and post nasal drippage. AND, they have the option of either sleeping on the wedge, or just on the mattress, and no one is stuck in a bottom corner because the whole bed is tilted.
The boys are definitely at the age where we watch for them climbing out of the beds. Their cribs are in an 'L' shape in the corner on their room, and the pillows are in the same corner. My hope is that if they figure out how to use the extra height to climb out, theyll just end up in their brothers crib. . . they are brilliant though, so Im watching closely:)
