Re: older kids brace and duvets

[Guest guest]

we do the same thing. seems the heavier the blankets, she does

fine. we've got I think 4 baby type blankets on Darbi at the moment

and she also likes it tucked under her feet to keep them warm. Other

times, she sleeps with us so no issues there with blankets.

I wish they made a feather/down blanket crib sized. That seem the

best since the brace slips on the slick cover and it's always

warm. Works really well in our bed and should in hers too. She

sleeps in a crib that is converted to a daybed with a crib sized

mattress. Love to find crib sized flat sheet too but no one offers

one that size. Slick sheets seem to be the best thing for movement

under the covers.

Darbi is 3 on the 28th this month. So same age as Ridley.

sorry I don't have any definitive answers, just what seems to work

for Darbi. She does wake some early mornings but who knows if it's

tangled or just the way it is.

We dispensed with blankets all together and just put her in really warm

jammies, layers. Also put corrugated cardboard along the walls of the crib

and also wall next to toddler bed to prevent destruction.

older kids brace and duvets

Hi

How does everyone cope with the brace and duvets?

Ridley twists and turns so much that he wraps himself up like a mummy and

then gets upset. We've had to leave the toddler crib blanket and duvet on

as

it's short enough not to get caught up. The downside is that we have to

either make sure he is in multi layers as he'll be without the duvet in

hours! or go in 2 or 3 times a night to put on the covers.

Any tips for my 3 year old?

Thanks Kori.

We're still using the blanket. Early happy birthday to Darbi

Good idea but I've not seen any big enough. Where did you get your

one from?

Thanks

Hi

I wish we had thought of the wall next to the bed as it's been

scratched and marked up, sadly. He likes to be covered so we still

use blankets. Thanks.

You could hang a decorative quilt on the wall to protect it?

Home made. There is a pattern on here size 2T you can print out and assemble,

but also I've seen them in fabric stores (patterns). With a pattern at least

yuo can make summer weight and winter weight and probably various sizes too.

They're pretty simple to sew and if you use certain materials that don't fray at

the edges it's even easier.

s.

Good idea but I've not seen any big enough. Where did you get your

one from?

Thanks

That's a great idea, ee. Lily's crib quilt is hanging on the wall because

I figured she'd get too tangled in it to use it in the crib. But when we move

her

to a bed down the road, I'll remember to use your suggestion. Thanks.

www.onestepahead.com sells up to xlarge.

however, in the files section if you are handy with a needle/thread

there is a pattern for a 2t that can easily be adjusted for a larger

size.

hope this helps,
