4.3 Anti-Reflux Position

The crib can be set to an anti-reflux position by adjusting one side higher than the other. This creates a slight incline for the baby's head. To activate:

1. Adjust the head end of the crib to a higher position (e.g., position 3).
2. Adjust the foot end of the crib to a lower position (e.g., position 1 or 2).
3. Ensure the incline is gentle and safe for your infant. Consult a pediatrician if you have concerns.
