    You may well be already doing it, but when my bub was doing this, I slept him in a sleeping bag and very tightly tucked sheet and light blanket over the top... it will usually keep him in place! Some linen is better than others, and I've even tucked some in long ways IYKWIM... i.e. instead of the same orientation to the mattress, the long side is going across, with all ends very securly tucked (given they they're still not THAT tall in the cot at this age.

    So saying, I think this is actually against SIDS recommendations - I think you're supposed to use a sleeping back without extra linen, but it does work for us. GL!

    MY DS hasn't really grown out of it. He still rolls crawls, scuttles around and plays in bed in the middle of the night. He no longer needs resettling as he will chatter himself back to sleep when he is ready but i rarely find him under the covers in the mornings and ever since he could move he would escape them!

    I did the same as Belfie and it worked for us too! We did buy a couple of different things first - one of those pillow things that they lie in and it was an absolute waste of money. The wrap you are looking for is called a Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap. I never used one because the sleeping bag worked for us but they look really good.
