Lowering crib mattress?

Just wondering, has anyone already lowered their crib mattress?  How old was your LO when you did? TIA!

    We went all the way to the bottom yesterday. DS sits up, scoots, tries to pull up, and has a lot of interest in going places.

    We lowered ours last weekend.  LO can almost pull herself up using the rails.  She gets about 90% of the way up and then gets stuck so its just a matter of time before she masters that.  We went ahead and lowered it to the lowest setting because there didn't seem to be a big difference between the middle and low settings.  I'd rather not have to lower it again for such a small distance.

    We're going to do it this weekend.  He's fine at night, but in the mornings when he's in there while I'm getting ready for work he's been pulling up a little.  I'm nervous he's going to slip and hit his face.

    We did it once about a month ago. And we lowered it again last night since DS totally pulled himself up to standing in it yesterday.

    Similar to pp, when my DD started sitting we moved the mattress down one. Then when she started crawling and pulling herself up to a stand, we moved it down again.

    We had to lower the crib mattress when he started standing a few weeks ago.  He was around 6 1/2 months but we should have probably done it earlier because he started pulling himself up right after he turned 6 months....

    We put ours down at 3 months. He was rolling and grabbing the top bar to try to pull up. Now he's sitting and trying to stand.

    Just last week, so 8.5 months. LO can crawl and pull herself up, but never did in her crib....until last week. We were waiting until she actually did it in the crib because I'm so short and it is so hard for me to put her in the crib gently so I don't drop her and wake her up haha.

    Our ped. told us to do it at our 6 mo appt. DS is strong but he can't pull himself up yet. He can sit up, so, I'm sure it's a matter of time!
