Simply Be Thursdays: Sidecar Cribs

We noticed recently that Little Sheep was having trouble sleeping in our family bed. Straining, rolling, flipping, growling...she seemed so uncomfortable and disrupted.

As we also shared our bed with several pool noodles acting as a bed barrier, we often found ourselves quite squished. A queen sized bed doesn't really have the space needed.

Therefore, the idea of having our crib sidecarred to our bed looked promising. Our lovely crib is a wooden Italian creation given to us by a relative who owned a baby store. We arranged it so that it squished nice and tight between our bed and the wall.




The result? Bedtime begins with a brief exploration of the crib and then a nice restful nurse, and once content, Little Sheep flops herself over and dozes away to delicious baby dreams. I in turn role over and cuddle my loving husband, knowing my dear girl will call to me when she next requires my attention.

It is a wonderful, peaceful ritual we have come to love. All three of us relax, sleep well, and enjoy our rest.
