Cot Gymnast - How To Stop

[nox]

thanks for that fiona.
so you don't tuck her in..just leave blanket? my boy has a comforter so maybe that'll do. i'm starting to think so.
what do you dress dd in at night?

Sorry nox - didn't explain that too well. In her bassinette, I used to tuck her in really snuggly with her soft furry blanket. But when I first put her in the cot, I used to just pop her under her doona and that's when she started wriggling around. So then I put her in a sleeping bag which stopped the wriggling and I think she missed the snug feeling she got from having limited space in her bassinette. Then when I stopped using the sleeping bag I figured maybe she was missing her soft furry blanket. So now I tuck her under her doona and put her blanket next to her head - she normally grabs it and plays with it for a bit or rubs her face against it - seems to find it comforting.

At night I use a romper or jim jams.

Ahhh cool

I only have cotton blankets in his cot at the moment. He sleeps really well in our bed without us and I sometimes put a doona on him then and never the sleeping bag. I htink I may give the gab a miss once I put him back in the cot and see if that helps. A doona for the cot is another idea ...
How old is you DD?
