Or, how about putting a mattress in a playpen or travel crib with higher, net sides? I can never remember what your financial situation is from week to week, but if you have plenty of money, buy a better crib setup, and if not, modify the one you have until he's old enough to sleep in a bed with a safety rail.


We just took him out of his play pen to put him in a crib, which would give him more room. He just started sleeping on his own, sleeping sometimes in his playpen and other nights with us.


I do not think it was appropriate for you to mention anything about my financial situation. As far as his crib goes, it was purchased in December, and was a Christmas present which costs well over 350$ for the whole setup including the crib, which is convertible to a toddler bed when he reaches 2 years of age, the matress and the comforter set. It is a very nice crib, if there is a "better" one out there perhaps someone can let me know.
