Breaking the rules at 11 months

The great authority of the majority say that it's best your baby sleeps on his/her back and they're placed in the cot with their feet at the foot of the bed. I think this sounds fine.. if you baby sleeps on his/her back. My son likes sleeping on his side and rolls all over the blood place making putting a sheet over him difficult. I've adopted a strategy of only putting the sheet over him when I go to bed as he's usually settled into the "all night" position.

The problem is the little bugger's wriggled all the way up to the other end of the cot so I have to put the sheet that far up. Yeah, there's a chance that he'll wriggle down under the sheet during the night but I can't let him freeze and if I move him he wakes up and we're there for a while ;)

In saying that, he hasn't wriggled down yet and more often than not he kicks the sheet off anyway. It's also fun when he gets his legs trapped between the bars of the cot and can't free himself because he's asleep.

Dad to the rescue!!

He's fast approaching his first birthday so I'm gonna start trying to wean him off bottles and onto cups as well as giving him a spoon. Oh yes, let the messy fun commence :D
