Standing in cot - any ideas?

Im hoping someone has some ideas for me to try.
For the last 3 weeks every time Kaelin gets put in her cot she pulls herself up so shes standing & after walking around the cot for awhile gets bored & starts screaming to get down. I've dropped the cot as low as it will go but thats not making any difference. I've been trying to teach her to get herself down but she keeps falling back & hitting her head.
So I've been going in after a couple of mins of screaming, calming her down (usually by cuddling her, i leave her in the cot if i can though), tucking her in and leaving, and then it starts again. Its taking up to 3 hours to get her to sleep doing this so its really not working! Does anyone have any other ideas how i can manage it so she learns to go to sleep and/or get herself down so then she can go to sleep?
Because its taking so long to get her down shes missing a sleep most days & then is too tired to eat so its all turning to custard as shes not putting on enough weight as it is so im supposed to be feeding her twice a night but have only been doing once because im too tired. Thanks guys!

Was just going to say that as well...sounds like a definite case for a safety sleep

Am heading to town to get one then! Do they work for tummy sleepers though. Thats better than my idea of stapling her pj's to the mattress

or try a sleeping bag. Alex was exactly the same, tummy sleeper and all, and we went the sleeping bag route and its the only thing that worked. I also tucked it in under the mattress to prevent him from crawling up the cot as he is a mover when asleep.

we did safety sleep..we found with sleeping bag(not sure if all kids but for Ethan at least) he would stand in the bag and then fall worse than before:( !

yeah im not sure if all kids are but he was always like that:) wasnt till he was more stable and we took safetysleep off that we gave him sleeping bag now he just has flannel pj's and socks and warm room:)

Ds started this whilst we were away and I could not get a safety sleep, so I fashioned my own version.

He's in a sleeping bag, so i threaded a sheet underneath him iykwim so that he can't get up mind you or turn over, so that probably wouldn't help your tummy sleeper - it worked for us, goodness knows he would never sleep otherwise.

Sleeping bags can be a hazard if they're able to stand in them - the gremlins used to climb out of their cots with them on which gave me the heebie jeebies.

We still use on a the rare occasion Miss Isabelle thinks Mummy and Daddy dont "rule the house"
