12 months too young for a bed???/
Sonny is a very active sleeper, he moves aorund alot & combined with his large size (very tall & stocky but not fat) means that he is nearly outgrown his cot.
He ends up waking himself in the night by headbutting the cot sides or rolling up against them & waking himself up. I have a bumper but it makes zero difference so I was thinking of either getting a single bed matress on the floor for him with pillows around to stop rolling on the floor or a single bed & bed guard.
Any thoughts? Too young?, Dangers??
Tips to help him sleep better in his cot?

I am liking the mattress idea at the moment to get him used to no boundaries & then start with the bed in a few more months.
Anyone else put their lo in a bed this young?
maybe you could try a cotbed? they are quite a bit bigger and it'll last him until he's about 5 as you can take the sides off when he is ready. a single bed just seems so big for a 12 month old, especially as he moves around a lot. although the mattress on the floor doesn't sound too bad!
