Re: How do CF babies sleep?

[Guest guest]

We went from the play pen setting to a regular twin size bed pushed against the

wall with one of those little bed side rails you can buy on the open side.

Then I switched to a full side bed that both boys share. I keep the rail on his

side, but he is all over the bed. He doesn't fall off - I think it's like

bigger kids they just sort of learn their boundries and sleep accordingly on the

bed.

How do CF babies sleep?

My daughter Isabella ia now almost 11 months old. At 15 days she

received her first cast. We went through four additional cast, a

tenotomy and then a final cast. She wore the Markell shoes for nine

weeks and was getting them off day and night, litteraly 30-40 times a

day. We then switched to the shoes. She rarely gets

the shoes off which has been a blessing.

Isabella still has a hard time sleeping at night. We moved her from

her crib and she now sleeps in a 38x38 play pen. We found that the

mesh on the side of the play pen is much easier for Isabella to rest

her shoes against in the middle of the night.

My concern is, as she grows this play pen will eventually get to be to

small for her.

The crib does not work. She rolls around 360 degrees trying to get

comfortable.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what they have done as the

child outgrows the crib?

My daughter Kelsey also had crib problems and did just as you did with the

playpen until she grew too long for it. Then, we put her in a toddler bed with

one of those portable bed rails on the side but I duct taped it to the bed so

it would not move. She slept this way for almost a year and now at 2 1/2, she

is still sleeping in the toddler bed but without the bed rail. We will be

moving her into a twin bed very soon but I will probably purchase bed rails for

that. She falls out of bed a lot right now so I will want to make sure she is

secure if she is up higher.
