Re: beds for kids who wears DBB

[Guest guest]

Olga-

Just an idea-would it work just to be the crib mattress on the

floor?-there it wouldn't have any bars/rails to bang around on. My

son is a mover and a shaker when he sleeps. We muffle the sound with

a sleep sack(blanket). However, when he does outgrow his crib-I am

thinking a mattress on the floor might be our best bet. Just a

thought!

My son is 31 months now.. he sleeps in a twin bed.. its against the wall along

one side.. and theres a headboard (cause he squirms up).. and and a rail from

his waist up to his head. he can still wiggle out in the morning, but not fall

out.

Aleksi moves a lot when he is sleeping in DBB and his baby bed is not

enough for his. I would appreciate any advices about beds that kids

who wear DBB sleep in.

Thanks in advance.

I'm forwarding this because it was sent to the list-owner instead of

the list itself! Thanks for the input, Liz!

Hello,

My son is now 26 months and is a very restless sleeper. We gave up

on his crib and went straight to one of our old thick queen size

matress without the box spring. The matress is on the floor and is

pushed to a corner.We then bought a bunch of standard pillows and

long round pillows and laid them against the walls so that he does

not hit the wall. For the other two-sides that don't have walls, we

bought a railguard from Babies-R-Us. And also just put extra pillows

on the edges to prevent him from falling off.

One of our dream was to have our son run out to us after his nap

but because of his clubfeet, we did not think it would be possible

while he had his DBB. Well.. our dream did come true. Because the

matress is low on the floor, Ian knows to turn around and scoot down

by himself and crawls out of his room rather than running. We are so

proud of him....

Initially, the matress looked funky on the floor but we found a

frame that is stylish from IKEA that basically fits around the

matress and it is only around 3 inches tall! (Kinda like a Japanese

bed) We bought nice bright sheets and pillows to decorate his bed.

Ian and his younger sister loves his bed now!

I hope this helps.

Take care,

Liz and Ian

Hello,

Actually I read about this in a Montessori book. My husband and I are

thinking of putting our kids in Montessori preschool and elementary so I

started reading about this.

I can't remember the exact name of the book but it was about implementing

some of Montessori's principles in your home. I remember reading about

having the child sleep on a low mattress on the floor and of course

baby-proofing everything else in the room! She had some logical sounding

rationale for it (we still use cribs but have yet to contend with a DBB) so

you might look into that if you are interested.

Besides any reasons Montessori had for doing it, it might just make sleeping

with the bar a whole lot easier!

Good luck,

Halley
