As most of you know our family has co-slept since Cataleya was just a few hours old. Although she takes up a big portion of our bed, we still continue since it’s so much easier for many reasons. I feel like when she started sitting up thats when she started to move around a lot more. I never thought twice about it, until she rolled off the bed last month?. Yup rolled off and I felt awful the whole week, well I still do I’m pretty scared by it.
Of course, it was in the middle of the night, when we heard that thud. Man, that was the fastest Jez and I ever woke! I still have no idea if she was face down or up because I’m blind as a bat. I naturally just swopped her up and nursed her while feeling so guilty?. She cried for about a minute, we monitored her all day while she literally continued on with her routine as if nothing happen. As one mom said “it’s a right of passage”.
That morning I reached out to my mommy community and quickly replied with suggestions and we opted to purchase a bed rail. We exchanged a few because of our thick profile mattress. Come to find out they’re all made for toddler beds, so I just pushed some pillows up against it. Unless their is one that does exist, please let me know!?
How does your family prevent your little ones from rolling off when co-sleeping?
