:hair::thumbsdown: my son thinks hes smart. since yesterday hes been playing up more when its nap time or bed time pulling the actuall sheets off his matress :banghead:

would u not bother fixing it every 10mins or just let him sleep straight on the matress? is that ok.

DS used to do this so I'd just let him sleep on the mattress or floor. Made him learnt hat I meant business when it was bed time. As long as he's not cold I don't think its a horrible thing to do. I only had to let it happen a couple of times before he realised what was going on.

Yeah DS did it with both cot and bed sheets. The other thing you could do is get some clips to make sure the sheet doesn't come off. I just used the ones designed for the ironing board cover

What about a tighter fitting sheet? My DS is a roller, he rolls so much that all his blankets end up all over the place but the sheet is so tight it barely budges.

Or I was also going to suggest nappy pins, pin it to the bottom of the mattress.

My patience would wear thin fixing it up every 10 mis ... so i would probably leave it and fix it up best I could once he was asleep :)

I would personally leave it and make a point of fixing it after nap time. If he is doing it to stall bedtime then you fixing it all the time is working a treat. If you dont he will most likely not bother.

What about using a Single Bed Sheet and tying it on to the matress. Its how I used to make up Dd cot. If I used fitted they all ways come off when she tossed and turned.
