drag down

If my baby is lying in bed with her head too close to the headboard, you say to your wife:
Could you correct this for me please?

Can you drag her down the mattress? She too high the mattress. She could bang her head on the headboard.

Thank you

Anonymous Can you drag her down the mattress? "Drag" is a rather negative word to apply to moving your baby. I would substitute with "move" or "slide".
