Can anyone remember the guideline of how far up the side of the cot needs to be against a child's body before they are able to climb/fall out? -------------  |

Hmmm yea my Briona pulls herself up against the side of the cot to "ask" to be taken out... I've been watching her lately and the bar is only just over halfway up her tummy so all she'd need is a touch more leverage and she'll end up on the floor! 
She has to be moved out of there for when Krystiana is born (11 weeks) but it looks like I'll be fast-forwarding the move to a big bed. Hey Rachel, any tips for the upcoming mum of three girls?  ------------- |

those days are normal i have the odd day where i am driven insane and think argh! but mostly i feel so lucky to have 3 lovely girls who have brought me soooooooooo much love and happiness, and when the days are tough i try to think of that i'll be honest, it isnt easy, but thats another reason why i enjoy it, they keep me on my toes. each day is different and each day rewarding all the best

Well we decided to put Briona in a big bed last night. She was so excited, loves it heaps! She even stayed in it all night long!!  Is now down for her second sleep today, no issues with the bed at all.... maybe because she sees Hannah with a bed and she wants to grow up too?!------------- |

Well...... she loves the bed but she's had an ear infection all this week  so she's taken to sleeping at the bottom of the wardrobe! (It has no door.)
When I told the Doc he said it will be because lying flat causes the most discomfort with ear infections; Briona lying on her tummy with knees tucked up obviously made her feel better. Clever kid, huh?! Didn't look like it LOL but today she's been back in her bed... yay near the end of it. ------------- |
