Short mama tip.

EmmaD312

I'm 5'2, and after we lowered LO's crib mattress it was killing me to lay him down without practically dropping him in there. I just couldn't reach. I bought this aerobic stepper on Amazon and it helps a lot--good price and it's not tippy. Mind you, our sleep problems are NUMEROUS these days, but at least the side of the crib's not breaking my ribs.

I am tall (5'8) and have trouble with this. I didn't even think about the shorter mommas out there. You poor things. Glad you found something that works!

I was just thinking about this. I'm way taller than you (5'3"), but I was thinking that whenever/ifever I get pregnant again, my big ol' belly is gonna keep me from laying DD in her crib. Good idea!
