We’ve transitioned our little girl to her cot but she keeps on bumping her head on the end panels! She loves sleeping at the top but will bump her head daily which is causing a lot of tears 😩 any tips on how to stop this happening? We have no bumpers as it’s not safe sleeping but not sure if there would be anything else we can do to protect it slightly?

I has the same issue with my twins.. I got these Airwrap 4 Sides - White https://amzn.eu/d/2BR3NSW

They are breathable
We have these along the side of the cot on the slats but she knocks her head on the wooden end panels of the bed (the headboard of the bed for us)

My boy does the same!

My girl is the same. She woke up 30 minutes into her nap today and banged her head. Sat up and cried, by the time I got to her door to comfort her she had fallen back asleep lol I think they get used to it. Shes been doing it for a couple months now since she went into her big cot. The breathable mesh bumpers are good for preventing limbs getting stuck in the bars but not sure on anything to help with head bumps on the ends. Shes started standing up now aswell so I'm expecting even more bumps but 90% of the time she just goes back to sleep when she does bang her head so I wouldn't worry about it too much x

No nothing on cot not safeee

My little one does this too and has done for months. They soon get used to it and either stop or don’t do it hard enough to really hurt themselves. Doesn’t even wake my little one up now, he just shifts back around and stays asleep.
There’s nothing that would be classed as ‘safe’ to use and I think you’d struggle to get something that would protect from the headboard bit so might just have to leave her to it? Can help to put them in with their feet to the bottom too so they’ve got further to move to get to the top x

My LO has been sleeping in her cot for about 2.5 months now. A little after a week she stopped hitting her head and getting her foot stuck. They soon learn. 😊

This is what I’m worried about when we go to a cot she loves to sleep right up at the top of her next to me
