how do you stop your baby getting stuck in their cot?

[Booooooooooyhoo]

ds2 is 5 months and has just started wriggling round in his cot so he gets stuck between the sidebars. of course then he cant get back again and cracks up.

what do i do?

his foot/leg gets stuck? Is he in a Grobag? or some such?

no his feet dont actually go through the bars, he just ends up wedged IYKWIM. no grobag.

maybe try a sleeping bag? Maybe he won't feel so free to wriggle? Worth a try I always use sleeping bags for mine, never had ay trouble of stuck foot or wedged baby

come to think of it i used one with ds1 and he never got stuck either. thanks fruitbatlings

I've had exactly the same problem with DD now 7m. A grobag definitely helped. I've also put a rolled up towel under the sheet at the top of the cot which helps to stop her wriggling upwards and getting her head stuck between the top bars. Good luck!

no worries Boooooooyhoo

dd1 was a dream - just lay there and never moved

dd2 sleeps on her tummy at 7mo and spends most nights with her arm hanging out through the bars - doesn't seem to wake her up though. She is in a Grobag and stiill sometimes manahes to get her legs stuck!

you buy one of these if it gets really bad - but I suppose have to balance against ability to use it to escape!
