Cots vs using your own beds

[playfelt]

Get some of the outdoor picnic style blankets that have the waterproof backing on them and lay that on the bed - ie just in case it protects what is underneath. Remove the bedspread on the bed first of course as that just gets slippery anyways. Then give the child a shet over the blanket, a pillow and a blanket on top. When nap is over roll up all the bedding and fold the blanket out of the way - an underbed storage bin works well to just dump it all in.

For me it was more about the kids having access to stuff in my kids rooms so even though they are at school and not using the room it is not as childproof as it should have been. Those in playpens were put into my kids rooms and then others on mats were put where I had better supervision.
