Below is the history of our unique baby product, essential to understanding why the 'baby wedge pillow', the babywedge® was born! |
The history of the babywedge®
The babywedge® is a modern day success story developed by two Brisbane based sisters with a common goal. That was, to design and build a solution for Acid Reflux and Colic for their own children and to ensure that they could get a great night's rest and reduce the vomiting as much as possible!
The babywedge® was born from a need...
 |
Our son was just one week old when we noticed that he wasn't holding his milk down, after
almost every feed he would vomit, even after we burped him and put him down to
sleep.
We were very worried that our baby was in pain because he would draw his legs up towards his chest and make an awful uncomfortable noise. We were also concerned about his nutrition. The vomiting was becoming worse. |
After many trips to doctors and hospitals, our son was diagnosed with infant reflux. We did not particularly like the idea of putting our
son on a possible long term drug solution but felt we had no choice as we needed some
relief for our son.
We contacted child health services and were told the only option that they knew of was
telephone books under the bassinette / cot wheels, an adult pillow to help prop up the
bassinette or medication. We were not happy with any of these solutions, apart from being
highly impractical we felt that the options available were not what we wanted for our
little baby boy.
By 7 weeks we had introduced him to reflux medications as we felt we had no other choice. Our son seemed to
respond well to the medicine but still this solution for us wasn't ideal. and we were not
happy that the only solution was a chemical one. My sister Sally and I set out on a
mission to find a better solution to this distressing condition to try and reduce the
need for medication.
Our aim was simple. To design and build a solution for acid reflux, cold and flu symptoms and colic for children to ensure they could get some rest and reduce vomiting
as much as possible. After years of product research, design, development and rigorous
testing, we entered the market with the babywedge®.
During our product development, testing and production, we discovered
babywedge® was a very unique product, offering many more benefits to
babies and parents, helping to treat a multitude of symptoms and
conditions.
