You are at a tricky age in terms of movement and leaving bub for day sleeps. Possibly mobile enough to get off the bed but not quite old enough to teach how to do it safely.

We had the cot with 4 sides on right up against the bed for awhile. I could leave ds in for day sleeps cos he couldn't get out, and the cot provided an edge so he couldn't fall off the bed that side but I couldn't just slide him across into the cot to sleep and he couldn't just crawl across himself.

We have also just used a baby monitor and left bub on bed and listen for first sound. Also left bub on mattress on floor for day sleeps.
