Bless your heart! I’m glad you can make it work. We had to move our eldest out when she was 7 months old because she’s such a tornado in bed. Our youngest was moved into a crib at 5 months – although she really couldn’t have cared less, having always been a peaceful sleeper no matter where she’s at. Part of me wishes we could have made it work for longer with both….but then again, I needed some sleep!
Charlie wakes up around 3 am every day, and for the last few months he’s been soaked! So mostly we are just changing the diaper to make him comfortable. Mostly, he doesn’t sleep in my bed except after his 3 am wakings. He’s also a tornado sleeper and all over his crib, I don’t want him to fall of the bed! We do have to change his sheets often, I wish I could keep him on a wool blanket!
Your felted wool blankets are a great idea. I used a lot of cotton blankets, also not wanting to buy an expensive wool pad. My guy slept in our bed until 18 months–I’d say it was lovely for the first nine months. The other nine months seemed to be a new developmental phase (suprise!) and he was both extra needy and extra wiggly. We moved him into his own bed and now we all sleep through the night, thank goodness.

I’m so glad our third sleeps like a rock! It’s much easier this time around -the girls were such light sleepers and early wakers!

we love Sandy’s diapers with wool soakers. the large size holds 15 oz. i think! and breastfed babies fill them up!
