Today we lowered our daughters cot bed to the middle level.... I can't place her in it without literally dropping her. I'm too short to reach in.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? HELP!!!

My friend had a drop side cot but don't think you can really get them anymore? Another small friend used one of the Ikea step stools.

I had a step.(am 4' 11"). Mine was basically a block of wood, but my friend used an aerobic step. And we switched to a toddler bed at 13months.

If using a step, is the drop into the cot even worse as you are higher up?

No, it's better because you can bend from further down. So for me without the step I could only bend from above my waist but with the step I could bend from the hip.
