chloe is a horrible sleep patten , but when she is asleep she is unsafe, she just sits up when she is asleep and falls hard down it dont matter where or whats there , she still sleeps in cot at side of our bed and i catch her no matter what time( this is an other reason i dont sleep), anyway a few times she as banged her head really hard on the cot sides, and if she was in a normal bed she would fall out. i did ask our physio if they could help us they said they dont think so Confused

.. so i need ideas what bed we could get her to be safe and is there any where that do grants to help us out?

Would something like this be what you have in mind?

The site didn't give a price though you've got to get in touch with them. If you have used Family Fund I do know they only give grants once a year but they do give grants again if you are in need and I would say something like this is important so it may be worth a try.. Also have you thought of a safety helmet to sleep in as well?

They don't look too comfortable to sleep in I must admit! but you never know.

We got one of these to put on the side of Euans bed:

Maybe you could put one on each side to stop the falling out of bed.
We have never had an issue using this so maybe an easier idea for you.

maggiemay thank you i do think that bed would be ok, but we had our family fund this year a holiday, and as for the helmet our pead as offered her one as she as drop attack , but she wont wear them Sad

Daniel yes we have two of these but we would need 4 as she moves a lot from botton to top!

hi jackncloesmum
would cerebra be able to help?? Daniel had a thread saying there was funding available and specialist beds is one thing they pay for, just not sure about the disabilities it covers. other than that only one i know is caudwell children both worth a go
