Hi
Just wondered what other co-sleeping parents do at their toddler's bedtime. My DD is almost 14 months old and still at the stage where she doesn't realise the danger of crawling beyond the edge of the bed! Up until recently she was going in her cot for the first part of the evening, (around 7.30 -ish at end of bedtime routine) but lately that's all gone to pot since she dislikes her cot intensely, (long story). Now she'll only fall asleep in my bed, (a double she shares with me - poor DH is still in our bed..... or should I say, "lucky" DH)? And because of worries around safety, I'm having to park myself beside her and while away the time by reading etc., until it's my own bedtime.
What do you do? I thought about fixing a bed rail to the bed, but even though she's in a grobag, I worry that she'll somehow be able to vault over it. Obviously, any movement would be picked up on the monitor and I'd hopefully be able to sprint back upstairs before she got to the other end of the bed, (her side is against the wall).
Any experiences of bed rails and toddlers? Any suggestions you could give? I'd quite like to see more than a brief glimpse of DH of an evening!
Cheers!
