DD has been sleeping like a crazy woman ever since we transitioned her to a bed. She used to barely move in her crib but now she moves ALL around and sleeps perpendicular most of the time. So she was rolling closer and closer to the bottom of the bed and I was getting worried that she was gonna fall off...all of a sudden I hear *THUMP* and she's gone from the monitor. I hear no crying and about 20 seconds later I see her crawling back up to the top of the bed and goes right back to sleep. What the.....am I supposed to put a guard rail at the bottom of her bed if she keeps doing this? DH thinks she'll just learn not to roll off her bed, LOL!!!
-
Hmm, we just have two stacked mattresses on the floor, so she did fall but not very far
I don't think she does anymore?
-
oh my gosh she didn't even cry?! she just got right back up?! that is crazy!!
-
My first reaction to this was *gasp!*, and then after reading what happened, I chuckled. I can't believe she didn't cry!!
-
@Coco Bee: no, not a peep! I was poised to run in there but she got right back on the bed. LOL.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: yeah! It's hilarious and nerve wracking at the same time!
-
@Andrea: oh my gosh that is so funny. I can just imagine a tiny little person like whatttt then just getting into bed. so funny.
-
@mrbee: yeah, maybe I'll try that if she keeps on sleeping sideways and rolling off the end!!
-
Yikes! Glad it didn't seem to faze her! My LO fell off my bed and flat on his back before bedtime last night
He sobbed for a few minutes and then was fine ... of course, I was worrying all night about whether he had some crazy hidden head injury.
-
@mrbee: @Andrea: i hate to say this, but we tried that while we were at the beach and cb rolled over them and off the bed!!! he definitely needed something with more height to keep him in. but, he's a crazy maniac when he sleeps.
-
@Mrs. Cowgirl: good to know!! I was wondering if it would have enough height the way crazy girl is rolling around!! Do you have a guard rail or something at the end of his bed at home?
@Mrs. Yoyo: Oh no, poor little guy!! Glad he was ok!!
-
@Andrea: he is in a converted crib toddler bed with a guard rail that goes about half the length of the crib. he hasn't fallen out of it besides when he's purposely monkey-ing around while he's still awake!
-
@Mrs. Cowgirl: ah ok, yeah we have a guard rail on the one side and then the wall on the other side. I never thought she would fall off the foot of the bed. Too funny.
-
@Andrea: omg! i didn't realize it was the foot of the bed! whoa! is she in a full size bed or twin? actually, i could see cb doing that if he didn't still have his crib rails on the head and foot of his bed!
-
@Mrs. Cowgirl: we just got her twin. I don't think people put rails down there right? Haha. She will just have to learn to calm down in her sleep!
-
@Andrea: Wow that's crazy. I am scared for when that would happen to our LO.
Funny that she just got up and went back to sleep!
Glad she is ok! -
Aww! That's too funny that she just got back in her bed! Hmm I would probably stack pillows at the end of the bed, maybe? Or even a body pillow for the height (I bought one at costco for $15ish).
That hasn't happened to DS since he's still in the toddler bed but when he visits his nana he sleeps in a twin for his naps and he's fallen but continued to sleep on the floor haha.
-
So funny that she just got back on the bed and continued sleeping without a peep. LO is in a converted toddler bed right now so it's still confined on 3 sides. I was thinking we should get him a twin soon but he's a wild sleeper too.
-
Awww! I feel so bad for you since you watched it. Sounds like it didn't faze dd, though, poor girl. Poor you!
-
Classic! Isn't it amusing how we parents get so worked up and for the kidlets it's as if nothing happened!
I'd do a bed rail, lol. I fully intend on keeping my son in his crib until he's like 16 though.
-
@Mr. Coco Bee: thanks! So cool that you are online. Hope you enjoyed your first day on HB!
@HeatherlovesKenny: oooh, a big body pillow might be a good idea, thanks!!
@looch: Since she fell off the foot of the bed, I was wondering if bed rails fit there? The bed is in the corner of her room with the wall on one side and guard rail on the other. I never thought she would fall off the foot of her bed. The kiddos always surprise you!
-
LOL! OMG. Poor girl. But what a good girl for just getting back up and going back to sleep! She's so darling.
-
Oh my goodness, how scary! Glad she was unhurt and went right back to sleep:)
Funny story: a work LO once fell out of bed, I went running in, scooped 'em up & went to place them back in bed. No crying & didn't seem to notice until I lifted them up. When they opened their eyes I said, 'you fell out of your bed' to which they replied, still 90% asleep, 'mrs. Bird, I was falling with style!'
gotta love toy story!
-
@mrs. bird: haha! Cute story! We quote Buzz Lightyear a lot around here too! Impressive the LO did too while a little sleepy
@Andrea: funny story! glad she's a-ok! curious, which bed rail did you go with? I'm looking for beds for both girls... And a bed rail for the little one. They are currently in floor beds right now since our move. Thanks!
-
Awwwwww!
M rolled off her mattress once and crawled back on too. It was so sad! Haha
Glad L is ok and slept well! -
@mrs. bird: haha, that is a classic story!!
@NYCaliMama: I took the lazy option and just ordered the rail that they featured with the bed. Pricey, but it looks nice!
-
Does the bed have a headboard at least? I'd turn the headboard into the room, with the foot of the bed against the wall for now, unless you've got a headboard and footboard. Looks weird, I know, but better than buying a rail that probably won't do much!
-
@chopsuey119: i thought of that story about your M when I read this thread!
Wagon Jr is bound to do this, too which is why I dread getting rid of his crib!! I swear he'll be in his crib til he's 4...good thing he's short..
-
@looch: we could do that I suppose. She did not sleep so wildly last night, thank goodness! Maybe it will not turn into a problem....
-
@Andrea: I hope it doesn't! I hope it's a peaceful transition going forward!
I don't think she does anymore?
He sobbed for a few minutes and then was fine ... of course, I was worrying all night about whether he had some crazy hidden head injury.
