When they are small and the mattress is still high up, it's no problem, but once you have the mattress lower, you'll need a good sturdy stool. I suggest one like these: http://www.safetystep.net/ rather than a cheap Ikea one.

Once the mattress is lowered it can be hard. i took to keeping a step stool next to the cribs so i could reach the kids easier. but then that puts you on a step stool with a squirming bundle of toddler! if you use a step stool i suggest a good jenn p.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02313062323094226765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501899681401854385.post-81317388944349036482010-10-06T15:49:46.689-04:002010-10-06T15:49:46.689-04:00no advice on the cribs (mine is a beast to bend ov...no advice on the cribs (mine is a beast to bend over), but just wanted to say YAY for quickening!! :~)anofferingoflovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787985680863798995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501899681401854385.post-56289977371563980952010-10-06T12:07:21.128-04:002010-10-06T12:07:21.128-04:00Sorry to hear of the herps situation.

However, I clearly remember stepping through the slats and trying to lean all the way over to place a sleeping baby down.

It was no problem when the mattress was at newborn height. Now that we're at the middle level, I can't reach all the way to the far side of the crib, but this hasn't prevented me from any important child care (yet).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
