    My nine month old is now putting her legs and sometimes arms between the bars of the cot and falling asleep in this position. I have a cot bumper around the top of the cot but it isn't enough.Does anyone know if I can get anything like a cot bumper to go all around the cot to stop this?

    I got some lovely ones in ikea, then discovered thet are not reccomended for under ones, a gro bag is a safer solution!

    Grobag and Ikea bumper, cause the can still wriggle, toss and turn in a grobag.

    Hi,

    I had the same problem, when I discovered that my son turns himself around in the cot, so I put him into a sleeping bag and it works great, he falls asleep quicker and feels more cosy.

    Aren't cot bumpers supposed to be a suffocation risk? I thought you were supposed to remove them before putting baby in for the night?

    Does it bother her? She might just find it comforting.

    Once they're fitted properly - i.e. secured top and bottom I don't see the issue.

    Besides when your bundle of joy spends the entire night cracking their head off the bars of their cot you don't have much choice!
