Madelyn has reflux pretty bad.
The Dr has her on medication for it, but there are several other things he suggested we do. One is to hold her up for 20/30 minutes after a bottle. Another is to elevate her crib. He suggested we just stack phone books under the legs of one side. I smiled politely, but thought "phone books stacked under her pretty crib...this just won't do".
One night, while holding her up after her 3 am bottle (this feels like the longest 30 minutes EVER) I had an idea...a little light bulb of inspiration struck. I would make an attractive prop to elevate her crib.
The next morning we were off to the Galveston Home Depot. We had a nice fellow cut us two 2x6 boards. We zipped home and nailed those suckers together. Then I whipped out my hot glue gun, took some left over material from her bedding and covered the boards.
There you have it folks...the Mommy Invention.
