Baby wriggling up the cot!!

My 8 month old DS wakes frequently in the night due to wriggling up to the other end of the cot and banging his head on the end. We have tried a bumper (woven in and out of cot bars) but it hasn't made that much difference to be honest. I am desperate for a full nights sleep!
We used the sleepyhead up until around 6 weeks ago when he stared to roll over - do you think the larger one would help? Any other ideas? Thank you!!

I would suggest the larger sleepyhead - although expensive!! 😱

Cot bumpers are unsafe, so I wouldn't use them.

Really, I mostly wouldn't worry too much about this. They do often bash into cot sides, but this in itself isn't a big deal. It's something many babies do. I found mine used to like to face downwards into the corner between mattress and cot side, so squished up against the side to do that. Or shuffle up or down the cot (only dangerous if you used loose bedding).

I think I'd this is causing baby to wake you just have a light sleeper. So actually your probably just find something else waking baby up if not rolling around. This mobile stage is hard work, they do get through it though.
