Question..

[ElleJay]

I'm honestly not sure where to post this, but here goes.

I've got DS down - and TRYING to get him to sleep. I've tucked his sheet into the side of the cot and he just keeps kicking it off, which is driving me insane! What can I do to either stop him from kicking it off or get it in tighter?
It's honestly driving me insane

[~breeze~]

Is the sheet just to keep him warm? Would he use a light sleeping bag? Then he couldnt kick it off

If its to keep him snug, try using a bigger sheet (like a single size) that will wrap right under the mattress & see how that goes?

Good luck hun xxx

:yeahthat:


Doesnt he go to sleep if the sheet isnt tucked in? Maybe he would like being wrapped?

This is the first time we're trying him in the cot with the sheets tucked over him. He used to do it a heap in the basinette, but never worried about it because it was winter and he'd have his long wondersuits on that kept him warm.
I might have to try the single sheet idea, because it gets pretty cool in the house

Our son has slept WITHOUT covers every night since hes been in his cot at 6 months
I just dress him to keep him warm enough. that way he can roll around and not wake up and hes happy. otherwise hes up every 5 minutes when it gets colder Ill put a light blanket in with him but his pjs and warm enough now

Thanks M2R
We got him to sleep without covers on him, and it's still cool in there, so I'm just bout to go put a light sheet over his legs

LJ I used to roll up a terry flat nappy (fold in half and then roll) and wedge that down the side.

I picked up some grobags in great condition from the babies and kids market last time it was here for about $7 each so that might be worth a look-in. I was also considering buying some online from the uk because they were about half the price they are here!

No matter how often I go in and put the blanket back on J, the moment I turn my back, it's off. I just dress him warm.

When he was little, a sleeping bag... he couldn't get out of that one! When he could stand up in his cot, we stopped the sleeping bag coz he kept falling over his own feet

Thankyou all so much
I will have to investigate the sleeping bags when I have money
