DD is about to turn 7 months. She was in next to me crib until about a month ago when she was able to crawl onto our bed. We were worried about her falling so current setup is crib beside our bed. However she often ends up in our bed because when we put her in the crib she just pulls herself up to stand. She settles a lot easier when we can be beside her but that's really tricky with the crib. We don't mind her being in our bed but for naps when we aren't in the bed with her we have to watch the baby monitor like a hawk and run up to get her as soon as she wakes so she doesn't crawl off the bed. What should we do?
- Let her sleep with us in our bed and get her quickly when she wakes up from naps.
- Persevere with the crib
- Take side off crib (it concerts to toddler bed) and keep it beside our bed. She'll probably be able to crawl into our bed but perhaps will slow her down before crawling off edge of bed?
- Get a floor bed so it's easier to lie beside her to settle her and she doesn't have far to fall if she wakes up. Downside is will have to fully baby proof room or else still be vigilant with getting her once she wakes.
- Any other suggestions?
