Is there a reason why I shouldn't...
...sleep Benjamin on a bed for a couple of nights? He is 7-weeks old & has outgrown his basket. We are away this weekend and the travel cot that we wanted is out of stock...
So, if I take all the pillows & duvet off the bed would it be ok to put him on it? He sleeps in a sleeping bag and isn't rolling over so I wouldn't be worried about him rolling off, and he has slept in his own room from 3 weeks so that isn't a problem either. The bed is wedged into a corner so I would put him closer to the wall edge (the obviously not close enough for him to hit it).
What does everyone think? Am I missing something very obvious which means I shouldn't do it? The mattress is quite hard, about the same as his cotbed. I will buy another travel cot if needed, I would just rather get the one I wanted!!!
????
Thank you!

The only thing that I would say, is place the baby in the middle of the bed and move the bed away from the wall, so that baby couldn't get wedged at all. HTH xx

She slept from 10pm through to 5am without waking once and that's still the longest she's ever gone. Would that work for you?
If your pram lies flat I would consider that if you are at all worried - I doubt you would get much sleep the first night otherwise!
Anyway...I have an icandy apple - apparently not 'breathable' - is it still ok for him to sleep in that? xx
fab idea, we had a clevermamma one which was great!
