Last night I had the scare of my life; I thought Alex broke her little leg.
I woke her up around midnight to feed her and when she was asleep I placed her back in her cradle on my side of the bed. Seconds after she woke up screaming and I instantly knew she was in pain, it was definitely a pain cry.
I quickly looked her over and realized her leg was caught between the bars of the wooden cradle. I had to maneuver her leg out between the bars, I lifted her out and held her tight. I walked her around the house and then I checked her leg to see if it was broken. It seemed OK but I worried about it all night.
We put her playpen in our room and she slept there for the night. She didn't sleep well at all and she woke up in a miserable mood that lasted all day. I continued to check her leg for bruises, swelling or signs of a broken bone. Everything seems fine but what a scare.

There is a great product for babies who get their legs stuck.. not sure if there are retailers in your area, but google it - it's called the airwrap and it is a breathable fabric that goes inside the crib like a bumper, but just prevents arms/legs going through the bars.
good luck!
Thanks for the tip, for sure getting one
