RE: Snugtuck question
Hi Holly,
I don't have a snug tuck, but I have a similar problem of a 3-4 inch gap between the edge of the mattress and the wall on DS' bed. Our solution has been to firmly tuck DS' blanket underneath the edge of the mattress closest to the wall, and then line the side of the bed with stuffed animals, sort of wedging their bottoms into the space. He never comes anywhere near the wall-edge of the bed because of the stuffed animal barrier, and if he did roll over there, he would wedge the animals further down the space and then be on top of them. We make sure they are all wedged in tightly at bedtime and they are always in place in the morning, even though DS tosses and turns throughout the night.
DS is older than your DD, though...I'm not sure if you would feel comfortable putting stuffed animals in her bed yet. We transitioned DS to his "big boy bed" at about 21 months and he's had a pillow, blanket and stuffed animals in the bed since day one. If this is unsafe, please email me instead of calling DCFS! :-)
HTH,
Hallie
