wriggler in a BBB
« on: September 30, 2013, 21:57:44 pm »
Hi,
My 29 month DS has always been a thrasher in his sleep. He's now in a BBB with a duvet as he has outgrown his sleeping bag and can vault out of his cot!
He wriggles out of his covers ALL THE TIME. Last night at one point he was sleeping sideways on his pillow, so I moved him back, then he ended up on top of the covers with his feet on the pillow nad his head down the other end.
Any tips on keeping him still while he sleeps? Naps are fine, it's just night time. I've tried turning the duvet sideways and tucking it in firmly, but that hasn't worked. I've tried puttin gon lots of layers so he won't be cold, but I think that makes him wriggle more. We have the bed surrounded now so he can't fall out but he still is waking cold because he's out of the duvet.
TIA!

The gro- company do a gro- bag for beds  - so effectively it's a zip around duvet - might be worth a look?

My DS was a terrible wriggler as well, so when the side of his cot bed came off I used Gro bedding and it's worked fine  :)

I wish they made it in bigger sizes as it would stop DH stealing the duvet  ;D

I looked into that when first putting him in a BBB, but wowser they are pricey! Has anyone tried making their own?

In case anyone is interested, I made my own with two sheets, one fitted and one flat, I've attached two 90cm open ended zips so they zip together along the sides about 30 cm in from the edges. It won't win any prizes for looks, but it works really well!

Cool!

Well done you  :)

(I don't think they care what their bedding looks like at this age  ;) By the time they do they're in a standard single bed!)
