Hi a few months ago we transferred my daughter who is now 13 months old into her own cot and for a while she was fine, she then started pushing up the bed until she hit her head on the top of the cot and then when you move her back down within two minutes she would do the same and became an all night thing. So we tried to transfer her to a large travel cot with soft sides and her bigger mattress in it as her cot is wooden we thought she might of been banging her head, she was fine in the travel cot for a number of weeks but has started doing the same thing again. Is this normal or does anyone have any advice my wife is now in preterm labour so can't help much and I am working 14 hour days so could do with a good sleep again lol

it is normal for such small toddlers @Girldad711 she will outgrow it by two. If she ends up bleeding ask for doctor's advice.
