Aww hun I'm so sorry I missed this - I never think to come in here for some reason
. Mari left me a kick up the bum (message) in the lounge - lol!
I ended up leaving Hannah in her moses till she was having to be shoe horned in and out coz she loved it that much. She is a great sleeper but she has to be snuggly. Bsically her cot looks like the princess and the pea - PMSL!
She has a thin quilt folded in half on her matress to make it squishy as she doesnt like the firmness of her cotbed matress. Then I have a big cotbed size cellular blanket rolled into a long sausage and placed in a kind of arc shape around where her head goes. I have a fitted sheet over all of that so she can't pull the blanket over her face but she can turn her face into it slightly (not firm or high enough to suffocate her though). She is in a sleeping bag with a doubled over cellulat balnket over her and tucked in tight at the edges so she feels secure and she sleeps with a Primark blankie in her hand that she does pull over her face sometimes. I've given up worrying about that though coz tbh it's far to thin to suffocate her and since going in her cotbed she has had enough head and neck strength to move her head or scream if she isnt happy.
She is a proper little princess and likes her creature comforts
Have you tried edith in her cot yet hun? I think I had hannah in her basket until she was nearly 4 months - it was getting tight in there but she liked it. In fact last week when she was ill I put her in it out of deperation for sleep (still in my bedroom
) and she was still happy even though her head was squashed against the top
.
I've basically made her a 'nest' to sleep in in her cotbed and she loves it. Hope some of this helps with edith hun - anything is worth a shot to get some sleep I find!
Oh yeah and Peter Kay was absolutley brilliant, thanks hun- haven't laughed that much in ages! would defo reccomend seeing him!
How are things with you? hope you're all well.
xx
