Montessori Floor Bed Issues...

[pregmcmew]

Ok - I posted on the site that shall not be named a while back about our using the Montessori floor bed for our beeb, and it's not going so great.  We're still swaddling, she still won't sleep without it.  But even with the swaddle, she wiggles out of her bed 75% of the time.  I'll hear her meeping around and go up to find her halfway accross the room (she's scooting - not crawling, and only backwards.  So this means she's rolled over a few times and scooted her way out of bed).  I'm about to break down and buy a crib, but the husband thinks I'm being ridiculous.  The room is baby proofed, so I guess there's no danger, but I'm just wondering how long it takes for them to...you know, stay in bed?

You can stick a pool noodle under her bottom sheet along the edge of the bed. It keeps them from rolling out.

Roger that. Just ordered one from Amazon. Not likely to find one here in the frozen Midwest.

God I love Amazon.

If I knew about Montessori before getting a crib I would have done it. Once we transition out of the crib I'm going to look at setting up her room as such. Or if we move soon. Either way.

Would you mind sharing a pic of her room? I'd love to see what your setup looks like.

Will do when I get home!

I can't remember this answer from the old thread:

What is the reason/thought process for the floor bed? I remember I thought it was interesting, but that's it.
