Too late to introduce safety sleep??

Hi girls,

I have never had to use a safety sleep with Ollie as he has never moved around in his bed and was happy sleeping inside a sleeping bag up until the last couple of weeks. During his day sleeps I often go into to check on him and he has somehow moved his body either sideways at the top of the cot or he somehow gets his head underneath the cot bumper!! During the night he is pretty good as when I put him down he goes to sleep pretty quickly. Do you think it is too late to introduce a safety sleep or is there something else that I could use to help keep him still in bed?? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Yeah I would agree with Busymum. If he is going to sleep fine then I would just leave him to fall asleep where he does (and remove any safety hazards). I use a safety sleep on Ashleigh and now kinda wish I hadn't started as she won't go to sleep during the day without it now and just crawls around her cot then eventually starts crying and winds herself up

I started using the safety sleep about then as Han started standing up in her cot and couldn't figure out how to lie back down.

I phased it out when she was around 18 months I think and she slept fine.

I have just taken the SS off Rhyley for the same reason you want to put one on. He would manage to roll in his safety sleep so no point in it. I would just let him do what he is doing - often I find Rhyley at the top of his cot sideways on his belly. I just turn him round and under the blanket when i go to bed.

I wouldn't go and buy one

Thanks for your advice girls. I have taken the cot bumper out so will see if that makes any difference. He is usually pretty happy when I put him to bed anyways. I guess I just get a little worried sometimes when I do go and check him and he's lying across the bed and I worry that he might be cold - just have to stop stressing about it as long as he is happy.
