But we now have a 1 month old and I know they will need to share a bedroom in the months to come. Any suggestions to how to incorporate two floor beds ? Or would you suggest keeping baby in crib to prevent his older brother form having full access to him?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524455202027932646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292246183062551576.post-80871707616264227942015-04-18T19:03:55.609-07:002015-04-18T19:03:55.609-07:00If we provide a floor bed or mattress on the floor...If we provide a floor bed or mattress on the floor in a completely safe room—rather than a crib or playpen with bars—the child has a clear view ... <a href="http://playpentoddlers.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">playpentoddlers.blogspot.com</a><br />Playpen For Toddlershttp://playpentoddlers.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292246183062551576.post-81771170035140812022012-04-11T09:44:58.519-07:002012-04-11T09:44:58.519-07:00Congrats on the mention from Harvesting Kale!Congrats on the mention from Harvesting Kale!Amy Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01498916267803810213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292246183062551576.post-35240219548113649572012-03-25T12:52:09.020-07:002012-03-25T12:52:09.020-07:00fabulous! where is this fox toy from?fabulous! where is this fox toy from?evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06325904828379391779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292246183062551576.post-29235316591215638162012-02-22T19:08:32.291-08:002012-02-22T19:08:32.291-08:00Thanks, everyone, for your super positive response...Thanks, everyone, for your super positive responses to this post.<br /><br />You know, it's funny for us to even be discussing sleep + one of our children in such creative and inspiring light. Noah's sleep challenges for the first few years seriously exhausted our mental capacity to think of sleep and infants in any other way than negative. Being able to practice this kind of sleep arrangement with Fern has been enlightening and incredibly freeing for me. <br /><br />I am open to changes and challenges with this, too, as she grows, changes and develops, but the fact that we are even here is progress.<br /><br />I'll e sure to update the post as things unfold. And, please share your experiences with me--I'd love to hear them--both successes and not.<br /><br />Sleep Well, <br />Jonij o n ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554523693852880704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292246183062551576.post-48496221002962242802012-02-21T16:19:38.272-08:002012-02-21T16:19:38.272-08:00It is so funny to me to find this post, on this da...It is so funny to me to find this post, on this day. Just this morning, I discovered (I think after seeing a very cool low bed on LMNOP) that the concept of low beds (or the more simple version of a mattress on the floor) is part of the Montessori philosophy. I coslept with my toddler in a regular bed until he fell out (if you ever meet my mom, PLEASE don't mention this to her - she'll have nightmares for a month). The very next night, I put a mattress on the floor in his room and slept there with him, as I now sleep there with my baby daughter (the toddler has his own bed now, in a different room). I had no idea that this was anything other than what I needed as a solution to our particular sleep issues - the upside was certainly that my son could crawl out (after I exited the bed before dawn) and happily entertain himself with a safe selection of toys. Funny thing is, my daughter has been crawling for months, yet she still very rarely crawls out of the bed. I just leave a few things in the bed for her to discover. Now that I've found there is a whole philosophy behind this practice, I'm at once thinking about it in a different way and realizing how right it is for us. Doesn't it just make life easier when we provide a safe place in which we can trust the littles to do as they please? How could that do anything but foster growth?... Again, so funny - the timing of this post. Happy sweet dreams to you & yours!Sophie - The Joy of Farminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741748075899295935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292246183062551576.post-22041202743606721052012-02-21T15:33:07.979-08:002012-02-21T15:33:07.979-08:00This is amazing!

We've been struggling a bit over here for the past couple of weeks, we've been co-sleeping since the beginning but lately we've been trying to get him into a crib so we all sleep better but it's been an all out NIGHTMARE! <br /><br />This looks like a great alternative, I'm gonna look into it some more.<br /><br />Thanks Joni!<br /><br />ameliaHarvest Kitchen Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00783862213886376760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292246183062551576.post-89026710268808089702012-02-21T10:58:06.842-08:002012-02-21T10:58:06.842-08:00I couldn't love floor-bedding more.
