‘Is this not a known toddler mum hack?’ The simple DIY sleeping solution
Posting to her account, Heather films herself walking into her kids room and showing their beds. Their sheets are elevated on either side, creating a dip in the middle.
She reveals the revolutionary fix after slipping under their covers and releasing the mattress protector.
She simply duct-taped a few pool noodles together to create a triangle that serves as a homemade barrier rather than purchasing pricey bed rails.
Placing it beneath the mattress protector guarantees that it remains in place and doesn’t move while the children sleep.
“Is this not a known toddler mom hack? Because I just blew my friends mind,” she narrates over the video. “.
“$12 for the win!” is how Heather captioned the video, but in Australia, Kmart sells pool noodles for as little as two dollars!
“I’m going to do this as soon as we remove our son’s mattress from the ground.” One parent said, “I’m so worried about him falling off his bed.”
