Cot problems - what can I do?

Loz75 · Aug 19th, 2009, 07:34 AM

Lately Emm seems to get her arms or legs stuck through the bars of the cot. I have a bumper and have put an extra one on but she seems to squash them down and then get limbs stuck! It doesnt happen every day but a couple of times in the last week.

I definitely cant put her in a bed yet as she would fall onto the floor as she thrashes around in bed too much and she would be dangerous on her own in her room if she got out.

Has anyone got any tips on what can help prevent this?
Thanks x

Thanks - I normally put Emm in a sleeping bag but it's been so hot, she hasnt been in it for over a week. It's difficult with the arms - she managed to get her arm stuck backwards through the bars somehow!
That bumper looks great - I'm not sure I can order from there as it is US? I'll have to see if there is a similar one somewhere here. x

Charlotte was doing that too, so...we moved her to a toddler bed. I was afraid she was gonna break her arm or leg!

I still put Rayan in a sleeping bag, but a very thin one, I am sure he would climb out of his cot or just drop over the edge if I didn't. It has been hot here too, but I wouldn't be able to feel safe as he climbs and opens doors..... he is 1,5 now and nothing is safe anymore!!
