Squashed against cot on a night…

My daughter is 10 month old and has been in her cot for the last few months in her own room. We put her to the bottom of her cot every night but wakes up half way through the night with her head squashed against the top of the cot. We bought a bed bumper to go around the top of her cot to try and stop her from banging her head but when she’s moving during the night it’s not protecting her the way we wanted… Does anyone have any recommendation on what I can do to stop her from banging her head.

She’s always been one of those babies that prefers to head to be tilted slightly (she doesn’t like laying flat) but found that this wasn’t helping either

Damn.

I can’t think what else to suggest.

Sleep deprivation with kids and work is just awful.

Does the cot have bars? If so you can get pads that wrap and velcro round each individual bar, these don’t have the safety risks of long bumpers but will stop hard bangs.
