Getting his arms and legs stuck in cot & rolling.

[Tiggy26]

Hi,

My first question is......has anyone got any bright ideas on how to prevent my LO getting his arms and legs stuck inbetween the side slats of his cotbed??? - I pop him down to sleep and an hour later I look on the monitor and see him rolled on his belly with one arm and one leg hanging out the side of the cotbed he isnt best pleased when this happens and certainly lets everyone know about it

My second question is......My LO can roll onto his belly and swims like a fish for 5 mins then cries becuase hes frastrated and cant move, probelm is, he dosnt know how to roll back onto his back again. When did your LO's start learning to do this?

Thanks

Hi hun, I find the best thing to do is to add a cot bumper, something like this http://www.roomsyoulove.com/abc-safari- ... umper-p583 I knew a girl once whose baby was very active and she put one on each end of the cot. It worked quite well

As far as the rolling thing, it depends from babe to babe. For the moment you will just have to help him roll back, he'll pick it up soon enough

Hope this helps
