I have been blessed with a child who sleeps quite well in her cot.

We started life together co-sleeping for the first 6months and then from 6 months DD moved to her cot and has since slept through the night there.

The last couple of weeks we have started to experience teething (ohh the joys) and she has been since waking a lot screaming. When its a middle of the night wake up I have been bringing her in with me (DP is in the spare room) and have been letting her comfort feed and sleep there but this is where my problem lies.

I want to provide the comfort of me being next to her and her being able to latch on to me if she needs some relief on her gums but I am absolutely petrified to go to sleep as I am worried about her crawling off the bed!

I thought I had taken all of the necessary precautions - bed is up against the wall, there is a wall of pillows along that wall so she cant fall down the narrow space but the issue is now she can crawl, she goes for the end of the bed.

A month ago, I bought her in to bed with me in the morning as i was so tired. She had her morning feed and I fell back asleep and then I woke to a thud and she crawled off the end of the bed! I was devastated and very lucky she didnt injure herself.

I have tried putting a wall of pillows at the end of the bed but she just sees it as an extra challenge and wants to get over it even more.

We have a king sized bed so its not like I can barrier the entire bed even then I fewar she would just launch herself over them.

What have you done to combat this problem?? How do you teach them not to crawl off the bed?
