Moving into cot/Cot Bumpers
in Baby
I am trying to move my 5 and a half month twin girls from their moses baskets into their cot beds.
Have had the moses baskets in the cots for some time now and I want to try them in the cot beds now as I they will outgrow their moses baskets soon.
Tried today putting them in the cot for their naps and both girls went mental. In the end we had to put them back in the moses baskets as they became hysterical and were overtired.
I was wondering 2 things:
- Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the transition easier?
- Cot Bumpers? Both of my girls are 'bum wrigglers' and really shift around the place so I am nervous about trapped limbs and banged heads whilst in the cot. Are they too young for cot bumpers?
Many thanks

I have held off putting them in their cots as they wriggle around the cot so much.
Both girls are in sleeping bags but still they travel around the cot. They started off at the bottom and end up and the top facing the other direction.
The youngest has also started rolling onto her tummy, and she hates being on her tummy so that caused no end of fun for her in the cot.
Day 2 starts tomorrow!
Today seems to have been a better day. The eldest one has taken to it well. The youngest is doing ok but threashes around something cronic if she is overtired and them flips over which distresses her.
I think it''s going to be a matter of getting used to it. If all goes well tomorrow we may even try them overnight!
Should I sleep in with them when they go overnight?
