That is NOT where I put you!

2BMrsMcW · February 2012

Got DS transitioned to the crib this weekend. I put him down in the crib around midnight (still working on an earlier bedtime!), swaddled in a blanket, and parallel to the front (long side) of the crib. I went to check on him when he was making a little noise to make sure he wasn't waking to feed. I found him out of his blanket, turned 90 degrees, and at the very end of the crib. Slightly concerning to me is that we have the AngelCare sound and movement monitor. Since he was no longer in the center of the bed, the mat that detects movement becomes pointless.

Anyone else experienced this? I am worried as well, because, for safety, we don't have a bumper. Any thoughts on how to keep him safe if he is going to be so mobile in his sleep?

DD likes to move around, too. We swaddle in a swaddleme so that when she moves around it moves with her rather than using a blanket that can come loose. Outside of that, we don't do anything extra special. I figure she's going to start moving around in her sleep more regularly as she becomes more mobile, but as long as she's in the crib, she's safe.

Oh, if you really want a movement monitor, the Snuza clips onto baby's diaper so it would move with him as well.

FYI, Unless the alarm was going off, it was still detecting his movement.

Our LO sleeps in a bassinet and he's been "scooching" himself for a couple of weeks to the side. The first time it was a bit alarming, but it makes me laugh now.

Britany, I have a breathable bumper in LO's crib, if you want to take a look!: https://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=breathable bumper&origkw=breathable+bumper&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2255957&sr=1

Yep! We used the AngelCare until DS was 2.5 and going to a regular bed and I assure you he was all over that thing. He usually slept in one corner in a ball.
