Austin is 4 1/2 months, and he is still in his Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper attached to our bed. I'm thinking about starting to put him in his crib this weekend. I just love having him so close to me, and makes BFing in the middle of the night so easy!!

Calia~ Thanks for the info about the humidifier to balance the fan. Austin has the frog one (I'm sure it's the same- didn't look at your link). We just hadn't started using it since he's in our room, but we will now. We have April Air in our furnace, but I'm sure the humidifier will be beneficial.

Martha~ My fan's been going since I heard this info!! I told Kevin if "they" told me to line Austin's crib with Bingo Trolls to help prevent SIDS, I'd do it!!! That one REALLY cracked him up! Seriously, it (SIDS) is something you think about, and realize how lucky you are to have your beautiful baby. It was tragic when the pro football player lost his baby a few weeks ago.

I love those animal humidifiers! Aiden has the penguin one even though I really wanted the frog one. The store was always out of that when we went sad.gif

 

Anyway, Aiden slept in my room with me (sometimes co-sleeping, sometimes not) until he was about 4 months and then he went into his room. I definitely wanted to keep him in my room with me those first few months since he was born during the winter and even with the heat on, our house had a tendency to get rather cold.

 

He did sleep with the overhead ceiling fan on during the summer months.

 

We originally bought a regular mattress from Babies R Us, but then I found organic crib mattresses (which I had no idea were available) and we sprung for one of those.

Ditto everything you said! I love the penguin it's cute. I love the frog b/c he fits in the bathroom sink to refill! I don't have to take it all the way to the kitchen. It fits in his bathroom! I don't know about the others I haven't tried them.

His mattress is also an organic mattress. It's so soft!! Not like the regular baby mattresses that are almost like plastic. I don't know where they got theres I can ask if anyones looking.

jackson has used a fan his entire lift and has never had an ear infection...knock on wood.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
