Crib ? for mamas

When do you move the crib mattress down? When baby can sit up? Pull up to stand?

Re: Crib ? for mamas

  • When G started sitting up we went ahead and moved his mattress all the way down.  He was pulling up soon after.

  • We lowered it the first time I found her standing in the crib.

  • DS could pull to standing for a while before he did it in his crib. Once he started doing it there, we moved it. We should have moved it all the way down, because that was a pain to do twice. 

    He is also trying to climb out of it.  He is not tall enough, but I don't like that he's trying it.

  • We moved it down shortly after she started pulling up.  She hadn't figured out that she could stand in her crib and about 6 seconds after I told DH I wanted to move it down she pulled up in there.  DH moved it down right then.

  • My crib has three levels. You move to the 2nd level when they can sit up, and the lowest level when they can pull to stand.

  • We are going to move it all the way down once she can sit up on her own. I don't want to have to lower it twice, so we'll do it all at once.

  • I have been thinking about this too. I want to put it on the middle level before going all the way down...I hate bending over an reaching into the crib at daycare that is all the way down low (hello I am lazy!)

    Is it really that much of a pain to lower? Is DH gonna hate me if I make him do it twice? how much of a time gap would we have from sitting to standing?

  • Ok....she can't really sit up much on her own yet. She will soon, though, since I have been propping her up and she has stayed sitting for a few minutes, more and more, in the past week. I think we'll probably move it all the way down because I anticipate it being a b!tch to do. haha
