Little wiggle worm keeping me up!

My husband and I love having our 15 month old son sleep with us he is so cute and cuddly and warm! However the older he gets the more he wiggles and takes up more bed space. We already have a huge bed (a California King!) So a bigger bed is not the solution. I have tried him in his toddler bed and he was fine until he wiggled his little self onto the floor in the middle of the night! After he fell on the floor he wiggled some more and when I go in there, he was under his bed fussing (not crying just fussing)! He wakes up automaticly if I put him in his crib. Which is funny becouse it is the same bed as his toddler bed just with the side rail taken off (it is one of those convertable beds). The wiggling does not wake up my husband or my son, just MAMA! We are working on number two and I'm not sure how all this is going to work. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi Julie! I really don't have any suggestions for my son who's 22 mos old is still sleeping with us & he does wiggle quite a lot too when he sleeps... on some days though he sleeps really well. We have a CA king sized bed too & he takes up a little bit more than half of our bed :) Just want to say, hang in there & that I feel for you...

When My daughter was that age she also started to wake me up with her rolling around, and she had just been diagnosed for type 1 diabetes and I had to (still do at almodt 4yrs)check her blood sugars at night so, putting her in her own bed was not a option for me. I just had to have her close by. Two sugestions, Buy a double toddler bed rail system, and put the mattress and rails on the floor. Or if your up to jimmyrigging or is it jerryrigging?, you can go with my option. I put the double rails on our king size bed. The thing is they don't make them wide enough for a king bed so you have to lengthen the strapps that go under the matress. Once you have the rails up both parents can sleep all the way up to the edge of the bed and they keep you from falling off, not the kid. Or make dad sleep in the middle and he can get all the wiggling if it does not bother him.
