I had the exact same problem, I swear by Safe T Sleep's - Eli sleeps on his tum & we just strap him in really loosely & he goes striaght to sleep now whereas he used to creep to the top & bang his head.

In saying that what we do for Jacob is tuck the end of his sleeping bag (it's 0 - 2yr so has heaps of room at the end) into the end of the mattress & also in a wedge & that seems to work. Jacob sleeps on his back but if he had a chance would go on his front & get frustrated.]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 10:46:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=643499&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#643499 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=643374&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#643374 Author: MissAngel

lol we have the exact same problem in our house. Thomas is all over the place in his cot at night. Wedges dont work cuz he rolls straight over the top, I made a safety sleep and that doesnt work because he moves so much that the thick velcro comes open and he pulls it apart!!! We have just put a nice bumper in (its actually super long so it tucks under the matress) and let him go for it. He has a sleeping bag so he doesnt get cold when the blankies come off lol. Silly bubbas!]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:38:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=643374&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#643374 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=643240&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#643240 Author: Daizy

My Maddi was much the same, she crawls around in her sleep
We ended up getting a safety sleep for $20 off trade me in excellent condition and it has been great! She can now undo it but only when she knows shes ready to get up. ]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:07:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=643240&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#643240 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=643166&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#643166 Author: Maya

I'd say go the Safety Sleep, in my experience they're worth every cent. I've used them with all four babies, lil miss is still well and truly strapped into hers every night coz otherwise she'd never stay lying down.]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:59:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=643166&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#643166 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=642505&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#642505 Author: kellie

Maybe try a wedge?]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:52:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=642505&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#642505 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=642025&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#642025 Author: kriss

It might be worth having a look on TM for a safety sleep, I have seen a few for $1 reserve and some that look pretty decent for less than $30.

Or, if you or someone you know can sew, you could give it a go making one out of a sheet and some velcro. I am going to ask my gran in the next couple of weeks to do this for me

Not sure about the rolling in bed, as DD is not quite at that stage yet, but could she be trying to get comfy?

Also, haven't done this myself but maybe having the head end of the cot on a slight angle would stop her from wriggling up to the top of the bed?]]> Sun, 22 Mar 2009 11:12:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=642025&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#642025 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=641972&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#641972 Author: lilfatty

We use a bumper (as Issy ends up all over the place). We actually bought two .. it covers one side completely .. the head area and half way down the other side. Although many times Ive looked in on her and she is sleeping the wrong way round near the foot of the bed?!?!

She likes to have a gap where she can see out (as if she is REALLY restless one of us will sit (or lie down) in her room till she drifts off.

We do have a safety sleep but we now only use it if she is particularly unimpressed about going to bed .. it just gets her to stay lying down! (Its still loose enough for her to roll around though).]]> Sun, 22 Mar 2009 09:48:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=641972&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#641972 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=641963&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#641963 Author: tamiem

Hey all,
the last couple of months we have been battling with our DD creeping up in bed during the night - then waking because her head is hitting the top of her cot and/or she has no blankets on. She always sleeps in a go go bag, and we have 1 light blanket over top because our house is pretty cold. We usually pin the bottom of the sleeping bag down (un P-C I know) which usually works, but sometimes she still tries to creep up and ends up waking with her go go bag stretched as far as it can go!
If we don't pin her, instead just pulling her down frequently during the night she'll sleep all night.

Also she's rolling onto her tummy and moving around lots when she's first put down, but she won't sleep on her tummy.

I know I can buy a safety sleep, but these seem expensive! Any other suggestions? My MIL said to maybe try tying a pillow or something against the end of the bed so she doesn't hit her head, but I'm not that keen in case something happens!]]> Sun, 22 Mar 2009 09:39:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25380&PID=641963&title=creeping-rolling-in-bed#641963
