Our little daughter is sneaking into our beds most nights and having to be carried/guided back to her own (much chillier) bed when I realise Bealers and I have no room due to large 31/2 year old and her beloved Bunny taking up the majority of room. Despite numerous escortings back to her bed I usually wake in the morning with her next to me fast asleep.
When quizzed as to why she is doing this by a mother who feels more sleep deprived than she did when doing twin baby night feeds her answer is ‘Because your bed is snuggly and mine isn’t’.
Q:How do I make a child’s bed more snuggly without spending any money?
A:Go up into loft and retrieve the single duvet in storage,use as an extra layer between cheap Ikea matress and sheet.
It seems to have worked a little but not cured the sleep problem. I think part of the problem is that I’ve always had little Edie pulled into my bed for an easy life &have known since she was really tiny that the warmth of my body sends her to sleep instantly which means a good nights sleep for us both. Until her legs became long and gangly I really liked cuddling up to her too.
Yesterday I found a really lovely vintage feather quilt with silky pink cover. I’ve yet to pick it up from the charity shop tomorrow but am hoping this extra layer of heaviness and warmth over her bed will stop her from waking and wandering across the corridor to us.
