Bedguards

[PrettyCandles]

How do you know when a child is ready to get rid of the bedguard? And what about a child who moved from the cot to a high-sleeper, so has never slpet without a full-length bedguard - when can he sleep in an ordinary bed without a bedguard?

My DD 2.8 juat moved from cotbed into bed (took the bars of ready now a bed although very low).

We put the bedguard on the first couple of nights, but found it a pain and she wasn't leaning on it or anything.

So we took if off and it has been fine....

We have found her almost out of bed, but with feet on floor and head on pillow a couple of times, but she hasn't fallen out...

Do you find him lent against it in the night etc if not then I would take it off, but leave pillows etc on the floor just in case...

They both move around a lot in bed. Dd (who only just moved into a bed a month or so ago) is often to be found hanging halfway out of bed, even as you describe feet on the floor and head in bed, but occasionally the other way around. Ds is often to be found widthways across the bed with his feet hanging over the rail - at our shoulder-height.
