Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 We had this problem also so... we took receiving blankets and made " cushions " for each of the bars in the lower half of the bed. We cut them in strips, took fluff and cut them slightly smaller and then spray adhesived the fluff to the blanket. Then we wrapped them around the bars and velcroed them to each bar. It was a pain but it worked. Sometimes she gets past the padded parts. But overall it works. Sleeping with DBB Hi there, I have just joined this group. we have a beautiful baby boy, Harvey, who is nine months old. Plasters and heel-cord surgery have been a success. Harvey hasbeen , in the past 5-6 weeks, rolling over in bed at night. With the DBB on he bangs in to hiswooden cot making a loud noise which invariably wakes him from his sleep. We have been transferring him in the middle of the night to a port-a- cot but this is less than ideal. Any thoughts suggestions would be appreciated. - & e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Is he sleeping well once he gets into the portacrib? If so, why not take the crib down and replace it with the portacrib? Just a thought. I have to admit, this has come up before and it just kinda stuns me. We have a 15 month old, long boy who is still in his crib and bumps once in a while, just never seems to bother him, course he just started sleeping through the night completely and consistently the past week and a half, but I can't fathom a child younger not fitting well in the crib. Welcome, you've come to the right spot for q's and a's! congratulations on your boy! How wonderful and fun they can be, most days...LOL! atypical bl cf 10-09-03 > > > Hi there, > I have just joined this group. we have a beautiful baby boy, Harvey, > who is nine months old.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 e... We have an 11 month old in the DBB's and have lowered his crib matress as he knows how to stand up in it now. We decided to leave the bumpers on (although doctors usually say to take them off once they know how to move around the crib) and this keeps him from banging into the wood on the crib and waking him up. He moves around a lot at night and doesn't really wake himself up. Hope this helps. 2/9/04 DBB 12 hours mootah84 mootah84@...> wrote: Hi there, I have just joined this group. we have a beautiful baby boy, Harvey, who is nine months old.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 My son isn't rolling yet, but one idea could be padding the bar. Lots of moms on the board do it, I think it would soften the noise of a padded DBB then a non-padded one. Just an idea other then bumper pads and homemade crib bar pads. I don't have a bumper pad on my son's crib because he got his face stuck under it and started to suffacate so I won't put it on anymore so that's why I think a padded bar could be another option. Anyway congrats on the success of your son's treatment and hope all stays well. Also welcome to the group, it's a great support team.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hello Our boy is nearly 9 months and he too would roll over during the night and whack the sides of his wooden cot (poor cot now has chunks and scratches). Thankfully he is now a bit better and sleeps through most of his disturbances (not sure if that is the right word to use, but you know what I mean). I see you are in Australia. We live in Melbourne. I would like to hear from you.
