Co-sleepers, how do you deal with nighttime crawling etc?

[IcouldstillbeJoseph]

DD is 11months (developmentally delayed) but has just started crawling (yippee). Anyway, due to her generally crap sleep I've started bed sharing but she has started to roll over and crawl about the bed, poke my ears, pull my hair etc in the middle of the night.
I have tried just putting her back down on back, not talking etc but sometimes it can go on for ages
If I take her back to her cot she goes bananas so I just get soft and bring her back with me
Does anyone have any tips?

My solution was what I called the ' mummy swaddle' basically a cosy. But firm cuddle which kept lo in place. Usually both on our sides then roll away once he is asleep.
Glad your dd is crawling.

Hurrah for your DD crawling!

My DD went through a stage like this. She even crawled off the bed twice in her sleep so I had to hem her in with pillows. It was a stage though and she stopped after about a month.

If I restrain her cuddle her she strains and strains against me getting very worked up
Thank you for giving me hope it stops though!

I pushed the bed up against the wall. It's has a high foot rest and high head board so she can't get past me without waking me up. She tends to stay where she is once asleep.

Start showing her to get down legs first and on her tummy dd picked up that just crawling off the end never ended well for her. they really do bounce

She can't weight bear on her legs though so she would end up in a heap

yup ignoring and repeating etc generally making it quite boring.

I think it's a stage they can go through till they're crawling so much in the day they're knackered at night. it will pass!

for my ds I decided that proactive cosleeping (ie that's what we do) rather than reactive (ie every now and then) needed to happen for it to be boringly regular. he's not done the middle of the night thing for a long time but bed time's gone very like that. last night and tonight I've hooked some calming classical music up which has definitely helped. I don't know if that would be any good or not ?

great she's crawling!

I stopped cosleeping at this point as was getting freaked out by being woken by baby dd peering in my face as she'd crawled over!!! I still slept in her room, and would only share a bed towards the end of the night.

Love your username OP!

Not co sleeping except at nap times, and DD will also crawl off then (while eating..) Restraining her just makes her angry. Oh well.

Thanks all. Well crap mum alert it turns out she's got 2 ear infections so that might explain the reluctance to lie down. She's had 48 hrs of antibiotics now and was happy to stay in her cot last night (bar the night feeds of course...zzzz).
