Hi,

Needing some advice on the cot bumpers. Ashley is 14 months, has anybody else used cot bumpers, pillows and doona's at this age. Ashley is waking himself up because he keeps banging his head & body on the cot and if this wasn't happening he would be sleeping longer periods for sure. I have the cot right next to my bed so i'm feeling safe myself about having a bumper as i'de be able to check on him through the night but I would just like some other input on this because i'm a bit scared of SIDS. I live in the blue mountains (NSW) and it's very cold, blankets don't seem to be snug and warm enough, do you think a doona, well tucked in, would be ok? And what about pillows, proabably wait until his two?
