HI all,
DS is 3.5 mo and wakes 3-4 times a night which obviously isn't too excessive but I think that one of the reasons he does so is because he hurls himself around his cot so much. When I go in, he's lying horizontally across his bed, no matter how I tuck him in, and I can hear him thumping around from my bed on the other side of the wall.
We moved him out of his hammock because he was (a) too big for it and (b) started fighting for more space - same issue with his moses basket - so I thought a big boy cot would have suited him better. I co-sleep with him at naptime most days (only way to get him to sleep in the day) and he does the same in bed with me too.
I've been looking at baby posiioners and was wondering whether anyone's got any experience of any of them please? He's a very long baby (91st cnetile) and most of them seem to only be any good for up to 6 months so he'd probably grow out of them fairly soon.
I was never expecting to get a full night's kip at 3 months but I'm knackered and would like for him to sleep better too!

Ds was in a grobag and this meant that he could move around as much as he liked but didn't wake up cold - might be worth considering?

Already in a grobag so def not cold; I think he wallops himself on the side of the cot!
