DS's crib soother has been nonfunctional for a while now. I finally bought batteries and changed them this afternoon. I put him down for a nap 20 minutes ago and he's still in there messing with it. Whenever it stops he gets mad and bangs on it. *sigh* Looks like I have to take it back down before bedtime. And that thing was a PITA to take down and put back up!
Re: I should NOT have changed the batteries in the crib soother
We had the same experience. Instead of sleeping DS just bangs it on and off and then stands up and grabs it and tries to tear it off.
Took it down about 2 weeks ago.
