Well, I knew it would happen sometime... - she fell out of the bed

Last night I nursed her back to sleep on the outside of the bed, but we have a bed rail, so I never really worry. There is only a gap without a rail up where my pillow usually is, and the nightstand is there. Somehow, she got through the gap even though it is about a foot above where her head is on the bed! She knocked a bunch of stuff off the nightstand on the way down, but I think that broke her fall. I have pillows on the floor there, but apparently she missed them. She screamed for about 30 seconds, but as soon as I picked her up she quieted down and fell back to sleep. I was panicked, but she was fine. I didn't turn on the light, though. We all slept pretty badly last night out of paranoia. Woke up this morning to a bit of blood on the sheets, and found some dried blood on her lip!!! She was fine, though, besides that. I am so lucky. I guess it's time to start trying out the crib again...

jcc64 replied: BTDT with Corey. We co-sleep too, much to the dismay of my parents. We keep a dog bed on the floor next to the bed; it's much bigger and thicker than a pillow. You can get them at any big warehouse club, Walmart;etc,.

Jamison'smama replied: Oh no, glad she is okay!

That is exactly how we sleep--bed rails the same way, gap/nightstand exactly the same. I woke up one night with her crawling onto the nightstand so we were only a step away from the same thing. I now put pillows on their sides so it blocks any gaps but I know that it is a matter of time before she figures that one out. My DH says it is time to put her in the middle but we haven't yet--sounds like we should though.

Big hugs to you and Sophia

Now I am trying to wean him, and it's especially tough at night. He is trying to make up for lost time at night, and we spent 1 1/2 hrs last night trying to calm him down without his Booby passy. It was tough!
