Juniper got out of her crib.

She's not even fifteen months old yet. Next Wednesday.






...help?

I suggest restraints.

My parents got me a bed at eleven months, on advice of pediatrician. Well, as I recall, a mattress on the floor. I have a visceral reaction against what I've heard of other people doing, which is to turn the crib into more of a jail, but I'm not a parent, so you should probably ignore that reaction :-}.

I am a parent, and I would vote for the mattress on the floor.

But then, we barely used the crib because Jonah preferred to sleep with us and we were ok with that.

Do what I did immediately upon reading your subject line and listen to some techno

free range kid alert!

Sorry - no help here. We had to ease T *out* of his crib - he's averse to change.

Our friends up the street did mattress on the floor and never had a crib to begin with.

A kiss or a frown! She can't survive on her own!

...er, sorry.

I have heard of two cases where the kids made the big-kid-bed transition at 12 months, so, yeah, it sounds like Junie's ready.

(wow!)

A taller crib?

A crib with taller walls that is - not higher off the floor. (And, yeah, I don't really have any good ideas. But wow for Juniper!)
