8 month old LO is quite strong and able to crawl quite well, how to prevent her from falling off the bed when she sleeps with us? (If she wakes up and we are still asleep)

Erm stumbling into it.

Good question. If she is sleeping in between you and your wife I guess when she crawls over both of you, you all will wake up? Then comes the problem of her crawling straight ahead.. You could get a bed rail and lay mattress or cushions on the ground around the bed in case she really does fall off she will be protected. For me I will put pillows around the border of the bed to make it harder for her to fall off bed and I will put her cot mattress at the spot where I think she may fall off and sofa cushions at the other spots.

I think babies are hardier than we think ;) my niece fell off bed several times with no cushioning on the floor. Well she is five this year and seems to be still well. I am planning to move to sleeping on the mattress on the floor though.. I read somewhere actually sleeping on the floor is good for kids. Some Montessori learning method. They can explore the minute they wake up. But ...have to baby proof the room
