Way back in April, when my daughter was having her baby, I got lots of support for her from this group. She's a fab mum (22, single parent, temporarily withdrawn from uni) and has lots of support. She has bf on demand since Oli was born and he has generally slept with her. He wakes every 2 hours or so and she just latches him on and they both drift off again. Great! Except he's just learned to roll over and she said he was 'on the move' in bed last night. Now, if she had a partner this wouldn't be a problem as Oli could snuggle between them. However, it's just her and her bed has a weird wooden ledge around it which means it doesn't fit snug up against a wall.
There are 2 issues. 1. ensuring the boy doesn't nose dive onto the floor, via the wooden ledge (bump! bump! waaah!) and 2. trying to get him to sleep in a cot - he's disinclined to do this and loves to snuggle up with his mummy - his mummy however, would quite like the bed all to herself now and again.
All ideas and comments welcomed.
