I bought this for my newborn who was recently diagnosed with acid reflux. It seems to work very well with helping spitting up/vomiting. I have peace od mind knowing that he will not choke if he does spit up during the night. I think it would be better if the pillow did come in different sizes…my son is small and the strap that goes across his belly is up to his arm pits.

I bought this for my 3 months old son. He wakes up crying every hour and he diagnosed with acid reflux. We were very excited to have this because we needed to keep his head elevated. However, we could not use it even one night.
He moves suddenly in his sleep and straps were not strong enough to keep him. Also pillow is narrow. My son once moved and his head dropped from pillow (this is a high pillow), but his belly was still strapped. It was a scary position. We immediately decided not to use it.
If it was wide enough to cover crib side to side, I would want to use it. My son is still suffering and we have not found anything that works, yet.
It is overpriced for material and quality. It looks and feels very cheap.

We ordered the AR Pillow for our infant granddaughter whose reflux was giving her a lot of discomfort and interfering with her sleep as well as that of her parents and older brother. It hurt to see our precious granddaughter in so much distress. The pillow, in addition to anti-reflux medication has helped considerably. One problem, however, has been that the noise caused by opening the velcro fasteners has startled her, initiating crying, air swallowing and reflux. Old-fashioned ties might improve the design. In addition, for the cost of materials put into this product, I believe the cost is quite high. Someone handy with a sewing machine, cotton fabric and a piece of foam rubber with a 30 degree wedge, could make their own.
