His 2 naps have been going well so far today. I think because he’s exhausted from last night!!!! ha! 😉 thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806295 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:44:32 +0000 cake2017 2806295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: Thanks!!!! Yes the crib is lowered!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806284 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:10:35 +0000 gingerbebe 2806284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the point at which we tossed a few soft stuffed animals into the crib. Each boy has slept with about 3-4 different ones plus a small soft plushy blanket and a toddler pillow since they could pull up. The idea is that if they fall over, it might be a little bit of a bumper. Between that and the mesh bumpers, there was enough stuff around the crib where I didn't think it would do much damage. I left my kids alone. They would cry and tip over at some point and fall back asleep. It only lasted a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806282 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:09:20 +0000 crazydoglady 2806282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @SweetiePie: and just let it pass. The fascination will eventually wane. If you haven't lowered your crib yet, you'll definitely want to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806209 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 08:55:21 +0000 cake2017 2806209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Agreed! Thanks this helps a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806208 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 08:32:03 +0000 SweetiePie 2806208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: well, he’s getting to the Bumps and bruises stage since he’s crawling and pulling up and soon cruising. So, it’s going to happen. He’s not going to get majorly hurt from bumping his head on the crib, so I just let it go. That’s how they learn!<br /> But if you aren’t comfortable with that, I wouldn’t go in and just lay him down. I would go in and not talk or really acknowledge (so he knows it’s not playtime) and I would help him get down. Like move his arms and legs to show him how to get back down. If that makes sense. </p> <p>But he will learn and figure it out, this is temporary. And normal and good! Because he’s learning a new skill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806205 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 08:07:53 +0000 cake2017 2806205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Should I go to the room and put him back down or let him fall which would cause him to hit his head or something...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806203 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 07:38:18 +0000 SweetiePie 2806203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: normal/they all do it with new skills. nothing you can really do. It’ll last a week or so then he’ll be over it and sleep will go back to normal. Just try to keep things consistent and don’t create new sleep crutches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806202 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 07:11:10 +0000 cake2017 2806202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>LO just discovered he can stand. He’s crawling too. Now he’s standing in the crib and doesn’t know how to get down. Rough night of screaming and crying. Any advice.....?</p> <p>He sleeps well now just this. </p> <p>TIA </p>
