Bed set up

our cot can go right down to a floor bed but this one looks good ! 🤞🏽 just makes me nervous as my little one can’t walk yet or anything and the thought of her being free 😂😂

might sound daft sorry but what do you type in to find this idea x

Does having your child in bed with you bother you? Do you all get a good night sleep this way? Why change something that isn’t broken. Bedsharing is biologically normal. We have a king floorbed with my daughter’s simple ikea cot next to our bed with the side off. It gives us a bit more space but really she’s always close to either myself or my husband and the cot is for her books 🥲

We don't have a floor bed and currently our mattress is very high. I'm concerned about my little one falling out of bed when he's in with us. I would prefer if we were able to put him in something in his own room that we can get into as well.

anything like floor bed

not daft! Type in floor bed high rails. Quite a few options.

I used to do the same but found it so uncomfortable that I often gave up and brought him to our bed, where it was less safe as we didn’t have a bed rail. I think since we need to do the move at some point, if you have the space and you feel like it might benefit you, do it - even if they are “too young”, just make sure their environment is safe. We upgraded our bed so just reused our double mattress for his bed and it was honestly such a good move!

My 13 month old has been in a floor bed for 2 weeks. At the moment it's just her cot mattress and base on the floor but we're thinking about getting a double bed. We lie with her until she's asleep, she sometimes has a little wander around her room at bedtime but she doesn't get out of bed during the night. It took her a few nights to get used to not having bars and she woke herself up a few times but on the whole it's been a positive and we're glad we did it. She was really unhappy going into her cot at bedtime but now bedtime is a positive thing.

She does end up in bed with me most nights but on days I'm working I can't leave her in our bed so even if I had to get into her bed with her, at least I could leave her if she's sleeping when I have to get up. Like someone else has said that, if you're happy with your current setup, do you need to change it?

@Ana that's the kind we're looking for, where did you get that one from?

this looks great! My little one ends up in our bed from about midnight usually and neither my husband or I sleep very well with her there

It’s this one - https://amzn.eu/d/eLcgyij

It’s lovely quality wood and it arrived in about a week (also probably one of the cheapest floor beds out there for doubles) so I definitely recommend the seller, they do a few varieties with rails all around, part way, all different sizes etc
