Phlemy, noisy breathing

[Shaz]

Connor has started to have a real phlemey rattle when we put him down at night.

HV has just been and has suggested raising his mattess at the head at night to help it all drain. He's fine in the day because he's either upright being held, or naps in his bouncy chair, which is also upright.

Any idea of that the angle/height should be? I've got a couple of hard back books under the front legs of the moses basket it at the moment but is that high enough?

Do you think this work? HV also said it helps windy babies, and although we do get big burps out of him I think he can be a bit windy at night too?

Has anyone tried it?

I put two tupperware boxes under the cot mattress, they were about 3 inches high, it just raised it a little bit but seemed to help.
