11 month old constantly standing in cot

My little boy has been doing this for a while…we haven’t had an accident yet but I’m tempted to try and swap over to a duvet and pillows now that he’s more aware. I think once they learn how to do something, it’s so difficult to get them to not do it. Wish I had some tips for you😭 x

Sounds harsh but that’s how they learn. My LG also had a sleep sack and quickly figured out how to get up and down, with a few bumps on the way.

My little one was the same at the age - a few weeks of that and he became more stable and aware - he’s now 15 months old, and has learnt to walk in his sleep sack 😂 I wouldn’t worry too much - think it’s a normal thing once they realise they can move about

No advice, I posted something similar a month ago as my LB was similar at 7 months and kept falling and hitting his head in the crib. He’s now nearly 9 months old and doesn’t stand up anymore in the crib during the night- he sits up instead and screams 🙈 but I genuinely was considering scrapping the crib and getting a floor bed it was sooo hard 🫂

Yeah, he’ll learn. My 19m has been pulling to stand since 10m in his crib with no issues. He can even walk with the sleep sack on the ground. It just takes time.

They will figure it out on their own. Falling is how they learn. Might take a few tries, but they'll get it

I started to give my lil one a muslin so she can hold on to while she sleeps. She took to it quite well and didn’t stand up and self soothed back to sleep.

He won't fall hard enough to actually hurt himself in the crib. Cribs are manufactured very safe. A fall from his own height or less typically isn't going to hurt him.

After he falls a couple of times he'll get better at it - he'll learn how to fall safely and he'll have better head and neck control. It's important he goes through it so he learns what not to do. And bonus - standing in the crib is good practice for walking! Mine used to just do circles while we read books, and she started walking a month or so later. 😅
