Legs getting caught in crib slats?

smg2302

This has happened to DD two nights in a row.  Our crib is not bumper friendly as one side is the attached changing table.  Suggestions for what to do?

I am comfortable with it, but each night was a different location.  I may have to do that all the way around.  Thanks!

Our crib has solid ends so I have the mesh bumpers tied to the last slat instead of the corner like you'd normally do. Can you do that? It leaves one slat open at the end but she hasn't gotten stuck in it.

^We did that for a while, but when we lowered the crib mattress it wouldn't stay put for whatever reason.  We had the breathable bumpers and then ended up giving them to a friend because it wasn't jiving with our system.

Sleep Sack has solved that prob for us.

@shoecrazysarah When do you plan to transition out of the sleep sack?  We have a couple but I worry she would get too warm.

I plan on keeping LO in them as long possible, Halo even makes ones with feet openings for older kids. I just put LO in a light weight T-shirt, diaper and sleep sack at night. For daytime naps, when it is warm I just do sleep sack and diaper.

@tricia560 is it the sorelle 4 in 1?  I love it for so many reasons, but this issue has me stumped.  If I could craft, I would probably try that.

^This is exactly how DD falls asleep which is I think why her legs keep falling through!  Do you mind If I use that picture to show a seamstress?  If that would solve our problems, I am so on board!!

This exactly. I still put her in PJ's though, but I use thin cotton sleep sacks. I even has some that have a mesh strip up the side so they are breathable.
