Is your lowest crib mattress setting insanely low?

I assume this varies by crib... I just lowered DD's mattress and thought that I should lower it to the lowest one so I wouldn't have to worry about doing it again. I figured she's just about pulling up so i'd have to move it really soon anyway.

It's so damn low now I felt like I had to drop her the last 2" to get her onto the mattress! haha Ok, slight exaggeration. But it is really super low and I had to stand on my tippy toes and bend my body all the way over the rail to get her down there. (it's not drop side).

Yes, ours is the same way.  I'm going to have to take the skirt off now because its laying on the floor.

We haven't lowered ours yet but will soon. I actually bought a step stool for myself because I am short and knew i might have that problem.

It's VERY low.  You'll appreciate it when your DC is a little older.  I actually wish ours was lower b/c DD has already learned how to climb out

I had to do the same thing.  It doesn't seem that low now that I have gotten used to it.  I also wish it was lower because DS can reach his wall art from the crib and wipes his wet snotty fingers all over the wall and I don't look forward to repainting that room.

Ours is very low too so for now it's on the second to last setting cuz she can pull up but isn't tall enough/motivated enough to try to get out yet.  I know I'll have to lower it again but I would basically be dropping her too at the lowest level!

We just lowered ours all the way today. Its SO low! I am only 5' tall and I practically have to drop him in. I tried to rub his back at naptime today and i had to get a stool, lol. Its for the best though, my DS just started standing in his crib and was hanging over the edge.

yup and it makes the beautiful crib look ugly too!  BUT, my boys are really adventurous and although they're no where near climbing out, I never want to give them the glimmer of hope
