Sleeping On Mattress

Recently, i moved Celest from her baby cot to sleep on mattress on the floor. Till now, it was still a failure though. I found that the baby cot is getting small for her & she kept hitting the bars whenever she flip & toss. Mind you, Celest really turns alot in her sleep. That's why the thought of moving her to mattress on the floor. Whenever we sleep over at relatives/friends house on the mattress on the floor, Celest doesn't have any problem. Maybe it's because we are sleeping beside her.

Initially, we used the thick single spring-mattress but realised that she doesn't quite used to the 'springs' inside. Not to mention the height of the mattress, whenever she turns, after sometime she will land on the floor no matter how many cushion i placed around her, waking her up & caused her to start crying. Thus, i used the very thin peace as suggested by hubby. It was ok though but still got wake up in the middle of night. Guess she was not used to it. Some nights i fall asleep with her while making her sleep again in the middle of the night. My back was sore & stiff the next morning though as it was too thin. Celest didn't grumble though (more of she doesn't know). Haha.

2 nites ago, i stacked the thin piece & another mattress together. The thickness is fine but she still got wake up. Think it all boils down to her being not used to it. Last night, she woke up once & came to my bed side. I was very sleepy so i told her to go back to her bed. She lie down on the floor & slept. I was too tired at that time to take note of it till i heard some noises made by her some time later, to my shock, she was sleeping on the floor! I was worried for her back & bones etc & carried her to her mattress.

Actually, i remembered that i also like to lie on the floor to sleep while i was young. It was very cooling with the tiles below you. I remembered that i liked to kick away my mattress & sleep on the wooden board. Haha. Hopefully, she don't follow me like this. Hubby thought of giving up but i was thinking of pressing on for another week or so. We both quite missed the time when we can sleep through the night. :P
