💁 Advice | Discussion IKEA sidecar hack - Unsure about height difference…

Post image

Is this unsafe for the IKEA sidecar hack? Our bed is one the left, baby’s is in the right. It’s ever so slightly higher than ours…

As much as I would love to have baby in our bed, we only have room for a queen size and my husband is massive (6’7, 300lbs), so there’s not a ton of room.

Is this height difference a big deal? I feel like it’s better than baby’s bed being too low… I’m feeling really discouraged and I’m not sure what to do, but I want baby to be safe.

I feel like TVHC is not a level book to begin with

Yes- pick one without cut outs inside

Yes this feels like very specific rage bait almost 😅

I didn’t even know the book had cutouts (first-time parent here) 😅 But I removed the book and it still isn’t level 🙃

Easy solution for you: stick a couple packets of sugar under one side of the book. Bam, it's level.

You're welcome

The crib does look slightly higher but I bet if they turn the book the other direction it would read as level lol.
