My 9 month old has become an amazing sleeper. Puts himself to sleep, frequently sleeps through the night even! I'm so proud. But the past few days his beloved Elephant wubbanub "Earl" has wound up on the floor, causing him to cry when he can't find it.

We actually have 2 "Earls" but I left one at DH's physical therapist's office and we won't get it back til Monday. Aside from sprinkling extra pacis in the crib (regular soothies) is there anything else I can do? I thought about mesh crib bumpers but the product description said "remove when child can sit unassisted".
