It will be a year next month that Eli has been sleeping on his floor bed and I would not change a thing. He’s an excellent sleeper. While the bed may not be responsible for his sleeping a solid ten hours per night, we really haven’t had any problems with it yet. (Rolling out of the bed wasn’t a problem…for long.)
Eli knows exactly what his bed is for. Of course, when he doesn’t want to sleep, he’s able to crawl out and start playing with his toys – which is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing.
Since I never had a good online resource to help with our floor bed hunt, I’m excited to share with y’all a site that I wish had been around when we were researching these things. It’s called Bedstart and it’s an excellent way to see what other parents have done to make safe rooms that allow for babies to sleep on the floor. I love checking out the different set-ups and envying the amazing designs.
Bedstart is currently running a launch contest so if you have a baby-friendly room with a floor bed, be sure to submit it to the site for a chance to win finger puppet board books. If nothing else, submit your room and know that you’re helping other parents!
{If you’re just looking for inspiration, answers to your questions or cute pictures of babies, you can find those in the pictures of the rooms, the Q & A page and the forums.}
{{And yes, that is Eli’s room up there in the screenshot.}}
