RE: Re: Anyone Co-Sleeping with a FAB'er?

[Guest guest]

Despite the flack I get at work (I'm a child protective service worker),

Logan is still in our bed most nights. We bought a cover for the bar and

screws from clubfootdesigns.com, which I found in this group. It was under

$20 and works great. And we use a fleece sleep sack. Between the two

things we are well protected from the bar. We too are trying to get him in

the crib, although not very hard. I think the sleep sack may help with

keeping the shoes from getting stuck between the bars. Good Luck.

and Logan

Re: Anyone Co-Sleeping with a FAB'er?

, did you see the Reversible Bar Cover pattern? If you make

them a little bigger, they cover parts of the bolts too.

It is in the files section: Reversible Bar Cover Pattern.doc

We have a foam cover over the bar too, but if you don't I bet you

could just add extra padding to the bar cover to make it thicker.

> Just to jump in here. If you sew, I can get you a pattern for a

decent sleep sack. Then you can make it out of whatever stretchy

material you like. There is a pattern in the file section of the

ns4cf list, size 2T. You can print it off, or read the

instructions to see if you can do it. I have other sizes too.
