Ready for big bed?

[Meercat]

That is my biggest concern as well. That she will wake up and then somehow hurt herself?

DP says if we get a bed we get a QS so she can use it for longer... Which means it will have to go in her room straight away. He seems to think she needs the physical contact to sleep ( she touches us all night) and that it won't help. My opinion is it is worth a try and that resettling her will be easier on ME than in the cot you know??

Another issue for me is her movement monitor wont really work with a QS bed and without it I will be a mess. (even with the monitor I worry) Arg it is so hard!!!!

I know what you mean about aches and pains! I went for a shoulder massage and I had such big knots in my muscles they couldn't get them out! I am sure they thought I slept in a cardboard box or something ..... I wish! Lol

We have thought about that too! We have been considering upgrading our bed to a King (maybe we know subconsciously we will prob be sharing for a while still?) and moving our bed into the spare room. There is a waterbed in there at the moment, which i love but not so good for all visitors or little people. I would want to put rails on both sides but it would make resettling so much easier.

I have never used a movement monitor but we have a noise baby monitor. Sometimes i think a video monitor would be handy.

I saw a single bed on ebay that has two beds that can be seperate singles -at a low height- or on top of each other to make one single or next to each other as a queen. funky idea but it was made of dodgy wood.

I'm wondering whether it is better to try getting her to sleep in our room on a single bed/mattress and then move her or try to move her into her room and bed at same time. Will prob go option 1 cos i think it has more chance of success and i can see that she is ok.

Funny you mention bed sizes. We upgraded to a king so that there was a bit more room and DS has our queen bed in his room. It does work, I'm just too lazy to get up in the night anymore lol.
He has a safety rail on our bed but not on his own as he sleeps in the middle IYKWIM as opposed to on one side.

DD never had a rail and we put pillows down for the first while, but she never fell out at all.
