AR Pillow - The safest way to relieve baby reflux and colic
From Downstate SUNY Hospital
- A Prominent Pediatric Feeding Specialist ...
As a pediatric feeding specialist I see many babies and children who suffer from the short and long term effects of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The short terms effects are physical growth failure, pain, crying, discomfort and vomiting. The long term effects include feeding refusal with continued physical growth failure and inadequate intake of solids and liquids to sustain adequate growth.
I have tried for many years to help these babies and toddlers feel more comfortable during the day and sleep with less disturbances at night through proper positioning. The AR Pillow is here at last, an easy to use , fully adjustable and easy to keep clean pillow to provide comfort through proper positioning. The pillow's adjustable sizing allows a single pillow to work the baby growing into toddlerhood and beyond.
The harness is adjustable using strong Velcro attachments and maintains the child safely at the necessary 30 degree angle. It is parent and child friendly in size with an easy to remove washable cover.

Thank you so much
Thank you so much. We received the AR Pillow just a few days after placing the order. After three nights sleeping on the AR Pillow, my three month old son began sleeping through the night. Prior to purchasing the AR Pillow, he was sleeping in his swing and he looked so uncomfortable. He seems so much happier being able to stretch out. Thank you so much for helping my son sleep and making my house a happier place. (see attached photo to see how happy my little guy is!)

Wow, wow, wow!
Pillow arrived ... What a dramatic result! We are soooo excited about this. Baby slept 2 nights in a row now for 6 and a half hours - previously was only going max 3. Seems a lot happier in the day also now. You saviour! Our pediatrician was very excited about this too!
Many thanks - Ben

I am completely happy with the AR Pillow. I showed the information to my sons doctor. He was so impressed that he is going to recommend the AR Pillow to other parents.
My six week old son suffers with GER. Prior to ordering and receiving the AR Pillow, my son and I were averaging about 45 minutes of sleep a night. He was miserable and so was I. After receiving the AR Pillow he now sleeps in 4 hour stretches. He is more content and less irritable. He is rested and happy and so am I! Thank you AR Pillow.

Just wanted to send a testimonial for your product...I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time...I don’t know if you remember me, but I called you crying that day (at the end of December 2007) I took my son’s AR pillow out of the box and he took his FIRST 2 and a half hour nap. I promised I would write you, so here it is....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU a million times over!!!!!!

My son suffered from acid reflux from the first week after we brought him home from the hospital. The first couple of months were very difficult...He would sleep for no more than an hour and a half then wake up crying during the night. Many nights, however, it was worse than that...waking up 10-20 minutes after we would lay him down. Naps were few and far between as well. He was very uncomfortable. I read about the tucker sling and other reflux wedges and came across your product and decided that it was the most economical, and I would waste the LEAST amount of money if it didn't work (being the sleep-deprived skeptic I was at the time). I purchased the product when my son was 7 weeks old and it came in just a couple of days. I took it out of the box, laid it in his crib and strapped him in for a nap, totally expecting him to wake up in 10-20 minutes...He slept for 2 and a half hours! He also went to sleeping 6-8 CONTINUOUS hours at night immediately. We continued using the wedge until he was 8 months old (by that point he was sleeping 11-12 hours at night with two 2 hour naps during the day). We traveled with it (it fit perfectly in his pack and play) and even took it to daycare every day! Now at 11 months, he is doing fine without it, but I tell everyone I know with babies suffering from reflux that this was the BEST solution for sleep problems caused by acid reflux. It was also great for keeping him upright after feeds until he could sit up by himself. Thank you for making such an economical and WONDERFUL product!

THANKS SO MUCH!!
I purchased this wedge through your company before and my 10 week old son loves it! I dont know what I would do without it! I am traveling back east to visit my parents, so i thought it best to purchase another and ship it to their house (rather than travel with it!). THANKS SO MUCH!!

Thank you again for creating this pillow
Aloha, My friend, Kimiko, received her pillow on Saturday. Thank you so much for all of your assistance and prompt responses to my requests. Kimiko's 3-month old girl is now a lot more comfortable as the result of her new AR pillow, as she recovers from her near-fatal meningitis. Thank you again for creating this pillow and for all of your help...

We are just THRILLED and can't say enough good things so far
Can we just tell you..... We received our pillows yesterday and we are SO pleased with them!! Chloe slept almost 5 hours already last night in one shot while on the new pillow!!! That is the largest solid block of sleep she has had since she got here (she's 11 weeks old)!!! We are overjoyed! We are just THRILLED and can't say enough good things so far. We are happy also how the pillow is heartily constructed . . . so very durable. We were pleasantly surprised!
Daycare was happy to see it too this morning and we are SO glad Chloe doesn't have to sit/sleep in her carseat another day all day long. Thanks again for developing this product!! We are elated we can help our little girl find some comfort while she fights this awful reflux!! Have a GREAT weekend!!

We appreciate your invention of the ARPillow
I just wanted to write you and let you know how much we appreciate your invention of the ARPillow. Our four month old daughter has severe silent reflux and finding a wedge or any type of elevated product was almost impossible. Most were only elevated at 10 degrees. Plus they had no type of strap device so she could have rolled all over the crib.
She's also highly picky about what she likes. She hates the swaddle because she can't move her arms and legs and she will not take a pacifier. So I was worried if she'd really take to the ARPillow but the first night we put her in it she slept like an angel. Now she's been in it a full week and when it's time for bed and we put her in it she smiles at us. She had been sleeping in her car seat as that was the only thing that was elevated high enough for her. We're so grateful to you and we'll be showing your website to our pediatrician so they can let other parents of children w/ reflux know about this wonderful product! Thanks so much!

Thanks for making this pillow
Hi-- I purchased an infant AR pillow a little over a week ago and have used it the past 3 nights. Its magical! My baby has slept through the night all three nights, which he has never done before in the 18 weeks he's been alive! Thanks for making this pillow. Its fantastic!

The AR Pillow is great!
I have to say in all honesty that I was a bit skeptical that it would actually work, but have been totally bowled over. We have gone from having a baby that screamed day and night and never slept for more than an absolute maximum of 3 hours to a baby who sleeps for 12 hours.
Instead of being miserable she is now happy and rested during the day as well. We honestly feel like we have got a new child and have fallen in love with her all over again. When Ruth starts crying now it is a totally different (and much quieter) cry and we know it is something simple like she is hungry rather than pain, and more importantly we know can sort it our pretty quickly that it will stop. Before she would start crying and we knew it could last for hours. I was depressed and permanently stressed wondering when the next bout would start. We really, really cannot thank you enough for totally changing all of lives. The whole family is now so much happier and ... we would do anything we can to prevent other families going through the months of hell that we did!

AR Pillow - infant acid reflux wedge like Tucker Sling
This is very similar to the Tucker Pillow. We used this pillow for my baby for a couple of months and it worked WONDERS for her reflux symptoms, ...

I can't tell you how pleased we have been with the AR pillow. We
purchased it about 3 weeks ago. It arrived quickly and our now 11 week
old baby slept from 11pm until 4:30 am the first night he slept on it
(he had been sleeping on my chest in a recliner and waking every 21/2 to
3 hours). He is now sleeping consistently from 11pm until 6:30 or 7
everyday. We feel human again! Furthermore, we are still able to use
our Angel Care Monitor (it has a movement monitor as well as sound and
detects the slight movement of his breathing and sounds an alarm if it
does not detect that movement) with the wedge so we get both sleep and
peace of mind. I've never written a testimonial for a product before
but this has been a life saver! Our older son had reflux as well...I
only wish we had found this product four years ago!
Thank you,
Tara (a well rested mom)
I just wanted to say when I ordered the pillow I was skeptical on it working for my reflux baby. I bought the pillow when he was around 2 months old, from a week old he would spit up constantly after feedings and always, always got hiccups and had mucous in his nose. I cut out some foods from my diet (caffeine, chocolate, and citrus), followed babywise book, held him up during and after feedings and started having him sleep on your pillow. He slept through the night! He is now 3 months old and sleeps on it for all naps. When I tried him sleeping a nap without it, he wakes up early from spitting up. Your pillow has been a life saver! He and I are a lot happier now. I also wanted to say that I can bring the pillow to other locations for his naps and it is a source of familar comfort to him. Thank you! It was well worth every penny spent.
Warmly,
Vanessa
