Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hi Everyone, I'm new to the group (just found it) and need some advice. Our 14month old has been responding well with her DBB and is walking, climbing,etc. However, we've been 'bad parents' and have let her sleep between us ever since she had outgrown her crib. Knowing separation anxiety would only get worse (for her and us) the longer we waited to put her in her own bed, we started this week. The problem is she is standing with her DBB on and then sitting and protesting and standing and on and on, and she is getting into some awkward positions with her feet tied together. We're watching from the baby monitor and I've ran up there a few times to untangle her. We let her sleep last night without the DBB just to get her more used to the situation without the stress of the shoes, which is obviously not acceptable in the long run. Please help.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 We always put our son to bed with a baby nest or sleep sack on which is like a sleeping bag with a zip but has sleeves. He was ok in that and didn't get tangled - he is older now and just won't wear it but I wish he would - save my walls being knocked to bits.......

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Hi there- I wish we coslept with -however, he is such a mover and shaker it would of been terribly uncomfortable for all of us! He is 12.5 months old and has slept comfortably in his shoes since he started wearing them-our key piece has been a sleep sack. He started first in 's pjs that were a fleece sleep sack and since he has graduated to a " Sleep blanket " -it keeps from him getting tangled up while moving around. He starts on his back, moves to his belly, then to his right side, then to his left side, then pulls his legs to his chest-you get the picture! I highly recommend the sleep blanket-HALO makes them as well as Gerber and they can be found at most baby supply stores as well as walmart/meijer/target. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 We also use the sleep sacks, although we have a difficult time finding ones that are large enough. Halo has them in bigger sizes too. According to one site I found, they come in sizes small (10-18 lbs.), medium (16-24 lbs.), large (22-28 lbs.) and x-large (26-36 lbs.) Depending on where you buy it, they cost around $15 - $20. We can use the sleep sack almost all week before washing it, so it is a good investment! > We always put our son to bed with a baby nest or sleep sack on which is > like a sleeping bag with a zip but has sleeves.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Kids can outgrow a crib? Just kidding!! is in a bed, but he slept comfortably in his crib until he was 3. He's 4 now and actually out of the shoes and I think he's making up for all of gentle sleeping. The past couple of weeks (although he's been in this bed for a good eight months) he sleeps on every inch of his full size bed--he's all over the place! Good luck, I wouldn't do the no shoes again because she might get used to that and then start protesting and then you'll have even a bigger problem on your hands! Good luck.

Sorry, meant to say she'd outgrown the bassinet, she's in the crib now. She's doing much better. In just a few days she's went from screaming for an hour to whimpering for 30 minutes and then finally giving in to sleep. She's wearing the DBB too so hopefully it'll just keep getting better. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Is it her shoes getting tangled in the crib bars? A sleep sack may help with that. Or maybe just a regular toddler bed now - or hey, let her sleep with you We used to sleep with Everett until his FAB began beating us up all night. Tried a crib but the shoes hitting the bars woke him up too much. Switched to a play pen with net sides, it's worked since. He turns 2 in a few days and still sleeps there. s.
