[blparent] no more crib?

[Veronica Smith]

First of all, how old is he?  When Gab was 18 months or so, we'd put the
side of the crib down, about half way and if she wanted to, she could just
climb out.  When I really wanted to keep her in, I'd put the side all the
way up.  She didn't know that if she really wanted to, she could climb out
no matter what. She was tall and still is.

Hi,

At what age, did you all take your children out of cribs?

Erik sleeps in a crib but in the morning he screams and whines and cries,
because, at least I think, he is bored being stuck in his crib.
I think if he could get out of bed and play with his toys then he would let
mama and dada sleep 30 or 45 minutes later during the weekend. (I know, how
dare I want to sleep past 6:30 on a saturday!)

We've put books in his crib and that actually helps him go to bed. He likes
to read his books while lying back in his crib. But, when morning rolls
around he screams, cries and whines.

We have a toddler rail for him that we purchased back in the womb days. But,
the rail is half the length of the crib rail and about one inch higher then
the surface hof his matress. He moves a lot in his sleep and I'm afraid
he'll roll right over the toddler rail.

I was hoping to learn what others have done and at what age.

Thanks,
LM
