My Mini Adventure

By JJ46

All about sleep... or lack of it.

Last night we switched Baby L from her moses basket to a larger crib. She's such a wriggler that we figured she needs more room.

Well...
We had two wake-ups before midnight.
Then we switched the rocking mechanism off.
We had two further wake-ups between midnight and 3am.
Then we changed a pooey nappy and moved the moses basket into the crib as it seems very open and the air flow must be different.
She slept slightly longer in there but at 4:30am she stayed in bed with us and slept until 8am. I did not sleep at the end as I was hanging off the side of the bed and did not want to risk squashing her.

Today I have been to Mothercare to buy a crib bumper (bottom picture) in the hope that this will make the crib a bit more of a nice place to sleep and when she flings her arms about they will hit something soft instead of the slats.

Something has to give soon, surely. It's been two weeks or so of very hard nights.
