when is it safe for Bubs to start sleeping with something in their cots?
Miss B has a toy that she has had since she was born - its one of those silk on one side and nice soft clothy stuff on the other side with a bunny rabbit head - its kinda like a lil blanket come cuddle toy thing (hope u know what im talking about) and she likes to go to bed with it, but im soooo paranoid about letting her sleep with anything in her cot that i take it off her once she has fallen asleep!
When is it safe for them to start having things like cuddle toys and pillows (not getting one) etc in their cot while they are sleeping?
Miss B is almost 8mths old!
Jack started sleeping with his taggy blanket (30cm x 30cm) when he was 6 months old. He now has a small Iggle Piggle teddy, a small fabric doll and his taggy blanket in his cot with him. He loves to hold his doll while he goes to sleep and play with Iggle Piggle when he wakes up.
umm I always left the toys in the cot. He's always had a mobile and one of those play mirrors next to his head. There are a million soft toys on the drawers next to his cot and he always stands up when he is awake and pulls them in the cot...
Peter has a very similar blankie thing, and I was always very paranoid about him having it in his cot. But he's had it in there since at least 8 months, probably a bit younger. One thing we used to do with him a lot was play a game with him during the day where we would put a bunny rug or something over his face and then pull it off (like peek-a-boo), and he learned to pull it off himself, which gave me reassurance that he could get his blankie off his face if needed.
Having said that, many times when I go into his room, he has his blankie over his head. Freaks me right out, but he seems to be able to breathe through it fine.
Yeah Miss B is the same - she can pull things off her face, however would prefer to keep it on!
i guess if all of u have had toys in the cots and ur Bubs have been fine - than i guess i better stop being paranoid and just get over my fear of something happening and just leave her Pinky in the bed with her!!!
Will give it ago tonight - doubt i will sleep much tho!
We've just put about 5 teddy bears of various sizes in DD's cot last night and she's almost 16 months old. When I went in to get her up this morning she'd lined them all up and was "talking" to them and giving them all big cuddles...also, she didn't wake me up at all in the middle of the night, I don't know if she slept through or woke up and just played for a while and went back to sleep, but we didn't hear anything.
