Crib help..

in September 2013 Moms
So I am very tiny, barely reach 5'. With my DS I had a hard time getting him in and out of the crib. Since I no longer have his and need a new one, I was wondering if anyone knew of a crib that would maybe make it a little easier for me some how? Or any tips a fellow short mama can give would be great. Thanks!

    I'm not short, but I'm a stickler for body mechanics. I think cribs are way to high of the ground to maintain proper posture, but my Ikea crib is much lower and easier for me to get her in and out.

    I'm not so worried for the first few months bc the mattress can be high, it's when I have to lower it. I breast fed DS so he would fall asleep on me a lot and was hard to put him down in there. I plan to breast feed again so I'm assuming I will have the s

    You could always just use a PNP for te times when LO is already asleep and has to be put down.

    I'm 5'8 and currently am using a step stool because the crib is so high it jabs me in my belly.

    PBK makes the Kendall crib in two sizes. The smaller one (Kendall low profile) is literally for shorter people. We just assembled ours last night (regular size)

     

    This is the link for the low profile

    I am 5'2 and I have a standard crib.  With it at the highest point I had no problem getting him in and out of the crib but we just dropped it a few months ago and it was difficult but I was still able to lay him down even on the lowest mattress setti

    I'm 5'1" and never had trouble with our crib. It's a sleigh style. I can't remember which one it is. I know we got it at BBB, but it's not on their website now. It probably will get hard for me to put DS into it once my bump gets big, but he may be in a b
