Ghetto crib

People on the toddler board are always asking what peoples' crib inventory is and it makes me sad when they say they don't keep anything in their kid's crib so here's mine, complete with blankets, binkies, bumper, toys, stuffed animals and even a live animal! You can barely see the mattress...do you think Simon's crib is too ghetto?  Embarrassed

Re: Ghetto crib

  • Maybe it's just got more of the ...ummmm....... "lived in" look. ;)

    P.S. We have a picture of me in my crib with our gigantic black cat Jake curled up next to me too. I love it!

  • I wouldn't call it "ghetto," but it's definitely more "lived in" than M's crib
  • Awww!

    We've got the bumpers, extra nups, a blankie, a dragon and a round little red bird thing.

  • We have tons of stuff in F's crib too. He has cars, trucks, pillow, blanket and other assorted toys. It buys me an extra half hour in the morning so I'm all for it!
  • Just prior to moving out of it, Ellie had the following in her crib:  one blankie, two little mini blankets with stuffed animal heads, two stuffed bunnies, 2 stuffed birds, and a stuffed lion, 3 wubba-nub type binkies, plus two sippy cups.  We would line them all up at the head of her crib and cover her with the blankie, and they would all end up scattered throughout the crib by morning. 

    Now in her big girl double bed, she has a ton of stuffed animals that are all lined up against the footboard and she sleeps with her blue blankie and the two mini blankets.  But the other items find their way up onto the bed throughout the night.

    Yeah Simon loves to play in his crib too! Hmmm maybe I should try putting cars in there, right now he just has soft toys.

  • Ada's crib routinely has two knit blankets and at least one stuffed animal. Sometimes there are shoes, wipes, extra diapers or whatever she swiped off the dresser on her way to sleep or waking up. 

    I say you are doing just fine.

  • We have tried to keep toys in Matt's crib but he throws everything except a blanket and a woobie out of the crib.

    Sippy cups??? What was in them?

  • We're the opposite. Sydney doesn't have a Lovie. She also hates to have a blanket on her. Most anything else that we put in her crib gets thrown on the floor (followed by crying because she wants it back). So Sydney has exactly ONE thing in her crib. Her Teddy. I think she only tolerates him though. She's happy just cramming her head up against the bumper all by herself.

    I am toying around with putting a baby pillow in there with her. I picked one up and she seems to like it. I am just so nervous try it in her crib.

  • I tried giving him a pillow but he is all over his crib so he doesn't use it.

    Just water, but she wanted both of them for some reason.  We tried only putting in one but she would always notice and insist on the other one.  We wedged them down in each corner of the crib and they usually stayed there till morning, she never really drank them until she woke up.  They were the kind with straws.

  • my twins have like 3-4 little blankets in their cribs + a bunch of pacis.  I don't keep any toys or stuffed animals in there, but their cribs are far from empty looking with all those blankies and pacis :)
  • DD has 2 blankets (one fluffy one and one is a muslin swaddle blanket.  She also has 2 small stuffed animals.  On the headboard of her crib she has 2 stuffed bears. Sometimes they end up in her crib and sometimes they end up on the floor.

  • Sarah has a blanket, two small blankies (lovies), several stuffed animals and other toys in her crib. She plays with them before she goes to sleep and after she wakes up, and also on those days like today when her afternoon nap is only chilling out, not actually napping.
