i have been getting Lilly in the bed for a while now, quite selfish i fell asleep by accident at first but she slept for 7 hours so now im just selfish and get her in! its ruined mine n OH's sex life and he sleeps in the spare room now lol! ive started putting her up at 10.30pm and she seems to settle ok, last night she woke up at 2.30am and went back off with her dummy rather than giving her a bottle but then i got her in the bed so she didnt wake back up!

any tips on getting her into a routine, sleeping through, and getting her back in her crib! xxx

Shes still bubba hun her routine may seem like its happened one night and not the next - Happened with Caitlin.

Maybe her being in the room helps - is her moses in your room? We thought the moses wasn't that comfy tbh and she has a snuggle soft fleece under her all the time now!

Why is he in spare room? No room?

shes got a crib like a big wodden thing that rocks side to side, her arms come out the sides though and get caught which wakes her. he gets in the spare room as he is a fidget in his sleep and is scared to roll on her lol! im getting her cot this week hope it helps her settle a little better! im not expecting her to get into a proper routine its getting her to settle in her crib thats the hard thing lol! x

maybe if you put something around the edge of the crib her arms wouldn't go through?

im sure i heard cot bumpers increase risk of suffercation :S x

I think thats only once the baby can sit up unaided though Jenny... You should be fine to use a bumper on your crib..

Colton currently sleeps between me and the edge of the bed.. OH is on the other side of me.
He doesn't roll or anything yet though, and he doesn't wiggle at all. Actually he likes to be REALLY close to me.
OH's mom thinks its because the bed is soft because his bassinet is kinda hard. I've put a blanket in teh bottom of it though. I think it's just because he likes to be cuddles and have his back patted. I have to pat his back until he falls asleep.
But I worry about when he starts rolling over.. I've even looked into some of those bed rails for like twin size toddler beds.. we have a full size but they work with any size really.

OH wants to get him out of our bed but we dont have anywhere to set up his crib. There is a spare bedroom, but OH's mom is a packrat and is too selfish to clean it out for him anyways. And besides that, it's right next to the living room where she smokes *gag* 3 packs a day.. so uhh.. I think not.

No advice though for getting her out. 5 minutes after we put Colton in his own bed he wakes crying to get into our bed.

our bed looks like:

one third is for daddy

one third is for mummy and

one third - although much much much smaller than daddy and mummy - is for baby as she sleeps with her arms wide away from her body, LOL

our bed is 2/3 for daddy
1/3 for mommy & baby!

I seen on a thread a kind of bumper that was breathable for cots probably use to cribs but Ive forgot where the post is
