Our baby is almost 5 months and isn't pulling up yet, but we know we need to take the mobile and bumper pads off the crib fairly soon. She is kicking up above the crib rail now. I am confused as I keep reading about how good it is to put crib mirrors or toys to entertain baby ... but isn't it unsafe to put *anything* in the crib at this point, as baby could use that toy to pull up and out of the crib? But then it seems so boring ... :-) I guess crib toys (ie, stuffed animals, etc) are safe after 1 year of age, when they can also start having blankets, etc?
What could we do in the room, that is safe, to entertain baby in the crib? Perhaps put an unbreakable mirror or something cheerful on the wall behind the crib?
She is such a kicker, too, and she likes to sleep with her feet smashed against the bumper pads. Will she just have to learn not to get her feet stuck between the slats? I am sure she will do this as soon as we take the bumper pads down. Any suggestions?
