Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 hi! we took apart the crib and bought a twin size foam mattress for naomi (11 months) to sleep on. we have it on the floor with body pillows around it. she's been sleeping a lot better - she can roll around and not bump into things. we also bought her some sleep sacks so that she doesn't get tangled in the blankets anymore. the only thing that might be a drawback is that once she decides it's time to get up, she just crawls off the mattress to come find us... maureen naomi (feb 04) bcf dbb nights > Besides co-sleeping with your kids, what sleeping arrangements does > everyone have for their older clubfoot babies? kelsey is 14 months old > with her DBB and is currently sleeping in her pack and play because she > cannot manage to sleep through the night in her crib anymore.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I use the play pen but he's out growing it. I plan on putting him in the lower bunk (with rails) pretty soon. WIth my 1st son I put his matress on the floor. s. Sleeping arrangements Besides co-sleeping with your kids, what sleeping arrangements does everyone have for their older clubfoot babies? kelsey is 14 months old with her DBB and is currently sleeping in her pack and play because she cannot manage to sleep through the night in her crib anymore. SHe has not slept in it since she got her DBB on about 6 weeks ago. She is doing OK in her pack and play but she is getting bigger and as it is she can barely turn over in the pack and play comfortably. I would like to know what everyone else does.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Zoe was still in her bassinet when she got her bar, but was only 2.5 months old, so was not yet rolling over. Maybe now that Kelsey has had her bar for a few weeks she will be more versatile with it. I put Zoe in her crib a couple of weeks after she got the bar and I occasionally here her bumping it around, but she manages well with it. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Just curious...how is it that she has more room in the pack and play when those are smaller than cribs? At least all of the pack and plays around here are. They are the same width, but alot shorter than the cribs are. is 15 months old and still sleeps pretty comfortably in his crib. yes, it is a little more difficult for him to turn over, but we try to discourage that as we were told to put a pillow in for under his feet. most of the time we will check on him in the night and he is sleeping peacefully resting his head on the pillow...little smartee! LOL It's funny though, my oldest son, non clubfeet climbed out of the crib at 13 months and was in a big boy bed the next day. I wouldn't even dream of that with him not walking! Actually I can dream of it...someday... atypical bl cf mitchells 23/7 > Besides co-sleeping with your kids, what sleeping arrangements does > everyone have for their older clubfoot babies? kelsey is 14 months old > with her DBB and is currently sleeping in her pack and play because she > cannot manage to sleep through the night in her crib anymore.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 There is no more room in the pack and play but the sides are soft so she doesn't wake herself up by banging into the bars. There is no way that Kelsey would begin to sleep with a pillow under her feet. Kelsey just can't sleep peacefully in the crib. I tried padding the sides but she ripped that all down. She is not very cooperative with that. Jenni Wold wrote: >Just curious...how is it that she has more room in the pack and play >when those are smaller than cribs?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 At 23 months, Owen sleeps in his crib without a problem. He is able to maneuver into whatever position he likes. And yes, he bangs up the rails in his crib but that's part of life for now.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Gotcha! That makes sense. Sounds like you've got one like my first one! hehe! Have fun with that one! LOL. I too am a bit worried about what to do if he outgrows the crib, hopefully he will be walking first. Is Kelsey walking yet? > > > > > >>Besides co-sleeping with your kids, what sleeping arrangements does > >>everyone have for their older clubfoot babies? kelsey is 14 months old > >>with her DBB and is currently sleeping in her pack and play because she > >>cannot manage to sleep through the night in her crib anymore.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Since we are late to the POnseti method, Kelsey had just begun to walk when she had to start with the DBB full time. IN her off time, she will take a few steps and of course, she walks in her DBB (with support of one of those walking pus toys). She can also now climb the stairs in her DBB. We may be trying her toddler bed soon. We'll see. Jenni Wold wrote: >Gotcha! That makes sense. Sounds like you've got one like my first >one! hehe! Have fun with that one! LOL.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 That's what I would suggest. If she's walking, I would get ready for that toddler bed.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hi Jenni, My son is 28 months old and sleeps in a cot bed (as they're called here in the UK anyway), that's a large cot which converts into a toddler bed later (the sides come off). He still bangs the shoes on the sides but it's big enough for him to be able to roll over once completely. He's also in a sleeping bag so he won't get tangled up in the bedding no matter what he does. He's been sleeping through the night for ages now, so it's obviously ok for him. Hope this helps, with (*9/02) and Alister (*9/02, RCF, Ponseti method) --- Jenni Cypher jcypher@...> wrote: > Besides co-sleeping with your kids, what sleeping > arrangements does > everyone have for their older clubfoot babies? > kelsey is 14 months old > with her DBB and is currently sleeping in her pack > and play because she > cannot manage to sleep through the night in her crib > anymore.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 We never had a problem putting him in the crib to sleep. He still seems to fit fine in there with the DBB so either my crib is extra large or Christian is extra small.lol Mommy to (12-17-98) and Christian (1-30-04) LCF - DBB 23/7 _____ From: Jenni Cypher Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 10:09 AM To: nosurgery4clubfoot Subject: Sleeping arrangements Besides co-sleeping with your kids, what sleeping arrangements does everyone have for their older clubfoot babies? kelsey is 14 months old with her DBB and is currently sleeping in her pack and play because she cannot manage to sleep through the night in her crib anymore.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 is 3 years and 5 months. He is sleeping in his toddler bed (which is his crib with the side rail off and a small wooden rail in it's place to keep him from rolling out. But he just in the past couple of weeks seems like he is starting to need more room. Actually though I changed his pillow and now he seems fine. But we bought him a bed that will be in today. It is a full size bed on the bottom and a twin bunk on the top. He of course will sleep on the bottom and his brother (who has his own room) will probably sleep on the top sometimes. He did and still does bang into the rails but that doesn't seem to bother him. He has gotton used to it.
