My 4-month-old has a crib and a bassinette (from the pram) and because these days she's more active, she messes about in her crib and manages to get her legs out of the side etc. Obviously she thinks this is GREAT fun and it doesn't distress her at all but it means she stays awake when she should be sleeping. I've tried the cot bumper (air thingy) but I don't like it because I can't see her from my bed.

So I've started putting her in her bassinette instead because that has solid sides and she can't muck about so much. I've always felt terrible because I'd heard these weren't safe because of the lack of airflow. BUT I checked the SIDS site the other day and it said there was no evidence that it was a greater risk of SIDS.

What are your thoughts?

I can't put her in a cot because we're renovating so the only serviceable bedroom is ours and we can't fit a cot. Well, we could but it would be way too squashy IYKWIM.
