18 Month Old Can Get Out of the Crib

I have just discovered that my 18 month old in the middle of the night can almost get out of the crib, in doing so she almost hurt herself and I almost died of heart failure.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I nurse her full-time, and it is the easiest way to get her to go back to sleep, so that is what we've been doing. Occasionally if she wakes up sooner than 2...

Sleepsack or Blankets for 20 Month Old?

My daughter is 20 months old, and still goes to sleep using a sleepsack. She is a very good sleeper. I have noticed that the sleepsacks are getting a little short on her. Before i go out and buy the next size up, I would like to know from other moms if they use the sleepsacks at this age, or if they have transitioned to bedding. She still sleeps in her crib, but I have been debating about whether or not to get her some toddler sheets.
