My daughter is 19 months old and now she has a couple of Megablock bricks and a book in her cot. I hear her playing with the mega blocks once she's in bed and winding down to sleep.
But, until she was about 9-10 months old she didn't have anything. She has "air flow" bumpers so that if she got smooched up against them she could still breathe but they don't provide an aid to escape when she was older.
Until they are about 6 months old SIDS is a very real threat and should be treatded with caution, once babies are a little older and can roll over with out getting stuck and even sit up by themselves there is less of a threat.Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re probably right ~ Henry Ford0 -
I have to say that you come across as quite critical. It is very hard being a first time mum. I should know - I'm going through it right now. I am sick of family telling me, not once but repeatedly, that baby should be in her own room, that she can be left to scream, that she should be weaned at 4 months, that I shouldn't feed on demand, etc, all against current guidance. If it makes me an anxious mum to follow guidelines, so be it!0
