We've just started transitioning from the cot to ... well I'm gonna sound like a terrible mum but ... to a mattress on the floor!

This was more Jazzy's doing than ours, she sleeps terribley in the cot, and is used to the mattress. I suspect it's either because it smells like us, or because it used to be our bed mattress (that we co-slept on) before we bought our new bed earlier this year so she's used to it.

Anyway, she keeps waking herself up in the cot, she's a night crawler so not sure about an actual bed yet.

We want to buy her a bed (we're going to go single instead of toddler bed as they are the same price anyway) but worried about her night crawling so not really sure. So we're giving the mattress a go, and trying to encourage self-settling more now rather than feeding to sleep. Eeep! The last few nights have been a bit disasterous, with her not going to bed before 8pm since before Christmas, crying-rocking-patting-cuddles and eventually at about 9pm she'll fall asleep exhausted after crawling around the mattress like apuppy dog finding the best place to sleep.

She does so well self-settling at night, she doesn't even cry, just wakes up, has a little chat to herself, finds a new psot to sleep in and goes to sleep. It's so hard to encourage self-settling during the day and at bedtime without tears so at the moment we are feeding to sleep still. Would love to not be, buts ARGH she's so stubborn!
