So today DD's much anticipated big girl bed (white petite marguerite bed) from Land of Nod arrived. It's beautiful but a bit higher than expected. I wanted to check the Lounge for ideas since I'm looking from input from Parents with toddlers who may not read some of the other boards such as nursery necc. Looking for some creative ideas and input on what works & what does not work regarding keeping her safe in the bed.
Background: I had picked up a bed rail from One Step Ahead and am not sure this type of rail works with a bed with slats at the bottom. I will call them tomorrow if I can to see what they say. LON did sell a rail for this particular bed so that could be an option. I've also noticed bolsters and was wondering if they work. Also wondering if a body pillow would be an options since those are super easy to pick up in a B&M store. DD has been sleeping with me and often sleeps in our king size bed alone with pillows around her. She doesn't always like covers on her. I tend to put a quilt on top of her that gives some weight on top of her but doesn't make her feel too confined. She isn't a big mover and tends to sit up when she wakes up & then call for me. Her room has an area rug by the side of the bed but nothing at the end except hard wood. I did pick up some egg crate bedding to put down there at night. Maybe I'll pick up a small area rug for that spot.
Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated!
