DH and I have been struggling for months with DS's horrible sleeping habits. All was fine until Thanksgiving when he was sick and we were out of town and resorted to putting him in bed with us to get him to sleep. Since then, he just wouldn't sleep for more than a couple of hours in his crib. I kept on thinking that maybe it was the ear infections he kept getting or something.
I finally decided to try an experiment. I went to a fabric store Monday on my way home from work and picked up some really think batting. I put that between the mattress and the mattress protector. Monday night DS slept from 7:45p to 3:15a without a peep. Tuesday night he slept from 7:45p to 5:45a before awakening. Yippee!
My in-laws are flying in to visit this weekend and will want to buy something for my son, so I'm thinking a new mattress might be in order. I believe we have a Simmons Baby Beautyrest Backcare VII. We basically picked our mattress based on price--not the most expensive, but not the cheapest. We now need to get something that's actually COMFORTABLE. Any suggestions?
