Just looking for some adivce from anyone who has had this problem with a Safe T Sleep. DD has happily slep in her Safe T Sleep on her back since 7 months after being weaned from a swaddle.
She has just recently (13 months) started rolling over onto her tummy. Doesn't seem to matter how tight I do it up she gets there!! She falls asleep on her tum no problems but wakes in the night upset that she can't roll back. I have thought about weaning off altogether but would like to keep it on for transitioning to bed which will be happening in a few months as baby 2 is on the way. Any thoughts / advice would be most appreciated :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It's probably time to get rid of it to be honest. If it's a problem now in the cot then it's also going to be a problem in the bed.
We stopped the safety sleep when ds could roll over in it as then he would turn around too and end up so tightly bundled he'd be screaming! There were no issues at all getting rid of it, no difference to sleep whatsoever. In fact his night sleep got better i think. He never wakes now. To look at it the other way at least you'll have her weaned from the safety sleep before she goes into the bed. You might just need to get a safety rail or something for the bed instead. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

TBH i would just get rid of it now. Both mine 2 have rolled about in the safe T sleep and so I just got rid of it without any problems. Not being in it, also helps them figure out their most natural sleeping position- as soon as we got Tom out of it he started sleeping on his tummy. You can buy safetly rail for beds if you are worried she might fall out of bed. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Thanks for the advice ladies. Did you just go cold turkey? How did that go? Did you have to keep going in and lying them down or just leave them to it? DD doesn't seem to get the idea that she has to make herself lie down to get to sleep! She's a really good sleeper, still having 2 naps in the day and 12 hours at night. I hate to think this could change

I never had any issues with either of my boys. We went cold turkey with both. The thought of it was worse than the reality.
I read him a book while he is lying on his back and then i leave him in the cot with a couple of books and when i leave he either stays lying down or sits up and reads for a bit and then lies down and goes to sleep. They just know. But yes they do sleep on their tummy and all over the place. Occasionally i have found him awake but happily sitting up reading 20-30 mins after bed! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Id say get rid of it.
When dd started doing this i stopped using it and put her into a sleeping bag/sleep sack instead. -------------

Yip, we went cold turkey too. DD was rolling all over the place in it. We plan to get a bed rail for when she goes into a big bed. -------------

| yeah the 1st time i found J on his tum in it I took it out straight away, once they can roll around the safety sleep isnt actually safe at all quite the oppisite, i found J with it around his neck that was the 1st time he had moved in it. like i said i took it out right then and he sleeps just fine with out it. |

If shes 13 months then she doesnt really need it anyways  at that age they dont like to be constricted lol. So i say get rid of it aswell.
Both my kids were out of it by 8 months cos they rolled too much. ETA - As for the big bed, we just put the cot mattress or any mattress on the floor next to the bed for when he rolled out, and he did lol, and when we got his new bed it came with a safety rail ------------- |
