Does your baby move while sleeping? How to avoid his head hitting the crib?

My baby is 1 year old. She usually sleeps with me, but now I want her to sleep in her crib. She usually moves a lot while sleeping, sometimes she sits up in the midnight and falls down, her head hitting against the mattress. However, if she sleeps in her crib, i’m afraid that her head will hit the crib. I don’t think the bumper helps much because it just works if she lays down.
Can you suggest what I can do?
Thanks.

There isn’t too much you can do, but you don’t need to worry about it. Believe it or not, a crib is a relatively soft material, and the distance from which your baby can fall to hit the side of the crib is not much, so the total impact will be at most a minor irritation for her. My son is one and a half and we hear all kinds of bonks and bangs coming from his room when he sleeps. It doesn’t bother him and he has had much worse falls outside of his crib.
