" What I teach moms to do is make a "wonton" (or "taco") with their baby:
Fold

tuck

I like this, thanks Carol. We are using bath blankets folded up and
positioned between between the mattress and side rail; in conjunction with
your suggestion, I think we may have a workable solution. Warm thanks,
