Toddler crib conversion on the floor for 8 month old?
So my 8 month old is doing this fun thing where she won’t accept being transferred into the crib anymore she just wakes up immediately, I guess this is a common 8 month old sleep regression. Out of desperation we are sometimes cosleeping which I don’t want to do ideally but she just sleeps so much better if she falls asleep next to me, and I can escape after but then eventually I sleep next to her so I can basically block her access to the rest of the room. This is not a safe setup so my question is: can I convert my 3 in 1 crib to the toddler bed and take off the legs so it sits on the floor?
My thinking is that this solves the entrapment risk while also minimizing where she can move to for the time being, she’s rolling and army crawling but not a huge mover while she’s sleeping just a normal amount of turning over. I’d also place something on the floor on the low side of the crib in case she falls out but it’d be a very short distance from the crib mattress to the floor anyway.
I’d have to baby proof the room but I’m willing to do that of course if this is a safe option so that I can lay with her and get her to sleep then leave her in a safe sleep place. Is there any other safety concerns I’m missing with this setup? I’ll include a picture with the toddler rail that looks like mine, I would just remove the feet entirely and place slats underneath the crib mattress.
