STEP 1
Choose Your Angle
Before using The Wedge with baby, try the different angles and positions to find the level of support that feels most comfortable for you.
TIP: Not sure where to start? Begin with the 20° angle, then adjust up or down until you find the support that feels most comfortable for you and baby.

Gentle Elevation
Ideal for adding a subtle lift under taller or bulkier nursing pillows, or use on its own for targeted hand, wrist, and arm support.
Suggested Age:
0+ Months
2-Wedge Stack
Everyday Support
Perfect for everyday feeding. Use under a nursing pillow or on its own to bring baby closer and customize your feeding position.

Maximum Elevation
Often helpful during the newborn stage to bring smaller babies higher and closer when used under a nursing pillow.

Also use at any stage:
Turn the 3-Wedge Stack on its side for added arm support.

Putting on Your Wedge Cover
A step by step guide on how to set up your Wedge
-
1
Scrunch up the cover so the corners are close to the opening. Hold the foam Wedge Slices by the front, thinner edge, and guide each front corner into the matching cover corner.
-
2
While keeping the corners aligned, pull the cover over the rest of the Wedge Slices, working it toward the back edge of the foam.
-
3
Smooth and adjust the fabric for a snug fit. Pull the fabric closure over the opening so the Wedge Slices are completely enclosed in the cover.
-
4
Adjust the cover so the sewn seams align with the edges of the Wedge Slices and the corners are fully tucked into the cover corners.
-
5
Tie the bunny ears snugly into a double knot to create the handle and help keep the Wedge Slices securely in place.
TIP 1: As you remove Wedge Slices to change the angle, tie the bunny ears a little tighter to help maintain a secure fit.
FIT CHECK!
Your cover is properly installed when:
- The foam Wedge Slices are fully tucked into each corner.
- The fabric is aligned with the bottom edge of The Wedge.
