wondering if anyone had any tips for stopping Gabe from getting his legs trapped in the slats of his cot!!! I tried putting another bumper on the other end but he gets his legs under it. I'm worried he's gonna really injure himself cos he aint got the skinniest of thighs ! the other night my hubbie had 2 prise the slats apart cos Gabe got 1 thigh stuck and he was screaming!

Hi, we use Sleeping/gro bags for George too as he kicks any blankets off. I've just ordered him a new one out of the next directory age 18 months to 3 years - its huge, so should be ok for Gabe. Did laugh at the thought of him getting under his travel cot mattress he he x
