Tutter's Sleep Quandries, Part 1: tonight we try taking the sides of ds1's cotbed

any tips?

i guess we will also have to ditch the sleeping bag in favour of a duvet, otherwise he'll end up trying to scuttle across the room in a comedy 3-legged-race style

(he's 2yo next week btw)

Part 2 - in a travel cot

Part 3 - stick sticky velcro round the frames of his window frame and attach blackout lining to it

velcro around toddler perhaps a better idea...

room already black-outed (blacked out praps)

tbh not a solution reqd to his early waking (have tried everything - he's just an early riser) - more a case of how do we stop him disturbing ds2. i think the answer will be that dh has to go downstairs with him, while i get to doze with ds2
