I think the total is 8-9. Plus her green blanket and one to two blankies. She plays with them in and out of her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1209715 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:14:35 +0000 matador84 1209715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing except his blanket. </p> <p>Can you move her crib off the wall you all share? Holy smokes I'd be so p'ed off if DH's alarm was waking up DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1209625 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:12:18 +0000 sorrycharlie 1209625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: lol! my brother had his "friends" or his "team" - I think 3 or 4 HUGE stuffed animals, and a throw pillow (yes, seriously) that had to go everywhere, or else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1209577 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:37:06 +0000 loveisstrange 1209577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C sleeps with a stuffed Care Bear and her blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1209231 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:24:12 +0000 MrsStar 1209231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has a board book (only a small one) and her doll in her crib. If she wakes earlier then normal in the morning then sometimes she will look at her book/play with her doll until she's ready to fall asleep again, so it's worthwhile to try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1209215 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:17:36 +0000 Mrsjets 1209215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J is almost 18 months and has his FP Ocean Wonders soother, Scout and 2 books (1 board that we switch out and 1 cloth with push buttons for sounds)...along with his blankey and a straw cup with water. </p> <p>Eta-wow that sounds like a lot of stuff... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1209167 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:52:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1209167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 16 months and has a posse in there.

He shuts it off quickly and doesn't wake LO but I dislike continuing snoozing when I still want to sleep longer!</p> <p>My LO is too young to have anything that would entertain her in the crib. My mom said she always had books or catalogues in the crib which would entertain me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208904 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:35:53 +0000 wheres_c 1208904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our alarm wakes up LO too! pisses me off. only daddy needs to be awake but suddenly we all are!</p> <p>he has a stuffed animal, blanket, gloworm and a plastic twisty toy in there with him. he doesn't stay entertained for long though, maybe 30 min </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208359 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:17:42 +0000 mediagirl 1208359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: lol I know. It is seriously an amazing time right now. I love it so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208345 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:12:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 1208345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: omg so cute! I love this stage - toddler stage in general. O points out everything in her room when I go in...I can't figure out yet if she's showing me things or demanding them! lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208342 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:10:53 +0000 mediagirl 1208342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yep. Board books are great. I don't have to worry about her ripping them up and she just flips through them. :) She has a new thing she likes to do now, when I go in to get her, she likes to show me everything in her crib. She will pick up each item individually and show them to me. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208329 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:07:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 1208329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: aww love it! that's so cute. do you just give her board books? kind of a stupid question, I know. she has some bath books that she's obsessed with, strangely enough.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208324 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:06:53 +0000 mediagirl 1208324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has her seahorse, plus a few other stuffed animals, a small blanket, a lovey blanket and a couple of books. Our ped actually suggested the books and every once in a while, I'll look in the video monitor and she's laying on her back, "reading." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208316 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:05:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1208316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: ooooh! she has the fisher price rainforest soother thing. I took it out when she was learning to cruise because she kept falling and wacking herself off of it (even though it was at the top of the rail!). she plays with it just "loose" in her pnp while I shower. maybe I'll try that!! I didn't even think of putting it back in there. </p> <p>@MsLipGloss: O has two blankies in there ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208287 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:56:03 +0000 Honeybee 1208287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: hahaha! I don't know about hurting her eyes but DD occasionally whacks her head in the middle of the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208285 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:55:32 +0000 MsLipGloss 1208285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just her lovey, but it's pretty big. She's 14 months, so I don't really worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208282 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:52:13 +0000 bushelandapeck 1208282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 15 mos and has a couple of stuffed animals, one book and a small plush toy car. He also has an aquarium musical mobile that attaches to the side of his crib and he turns it on when he first wakes up, and sometimes when he's trying to fall asleep. I only recently put the book and car in there and I have seen him playing with them on the monitor so I think it's helping keep him occupied for a few minutes some mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208274 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:48:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 1208274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: DD loves to read! She's only 13 months but will sit and go through her entire shelf "reading" each book. I thought about sticking some in there, but wasn't sure if - okay, paranoid mother coming out, feel free to laugh - with it being so dark in the morning (well, the 4:30 morning) if she would hurt her eyes trying to read? lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208257 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:43:10 +0000 Amelieisme 1208257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep about 5 stuffed animals in the crib with my nearly 16 mo old. When he wakes up, he definitely "talks" to them and plays with them. I have snuck into the room when he has them all set up and he's picking them up one by one and talking to them. So cute :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208250 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:42:11 +0000 Honeybee 1208250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dogs sometimes wake DD up in the morning, too. She has books and a million stuffed animals in her bed to play with, though. We don't allow toys, but soft animals, blankets, books, and other quiet things are ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208210 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:25:46 +0000 shinymama 1208210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 14 months and he has his lovey and a couple of small stuffed animals. If he wakes up on his own, the toys help, but if he is woken up by noise, no toy can soothe or distract him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208194 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:19:48 +0000 lemondrop 1208194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep Scout in his crib- he plays with him before he falls asleep. He'll also occasionally play with him in the mornings some days when he's content to just hang in his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208148 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:01:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 1208148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: @hilsy85: I just texted him suggesting I try setting an alarm and he said he woke up on his own at 4 this morning and turned his alarm off - that it didn't even go off. Which makes sense actually because I never heard it. So I don't know if she's just used to that time, or if she hears him and the dog go by her room? The dog makes a freaking racket going down our (wooden) stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208115 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:52:02 +0000 hilsy85 1208115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: this! It seems pretty inconsiderate that not only is his alarm waking her up the first time, but he's then snoozing at that awful early hour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208110 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:50:38 +0000 yellowbird 1208110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: are you a lighter sleeper? Maybe you could set a quiet alarm and then shake him?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208106 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:48:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 1208106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: he claims if he turns it down, he won't hear it. it's on loud AND vibrate! I was up with her one morning nursing her when his alarm went off and I could hear it through the wall clear as if we were in there. and I'd already turned on the bathroom exhaust fan as white noise. grrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208102 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:47:11 +0000 yellowbird 1208102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have anything in A's crib except pacis and a small lovey. We play loud white noise and don't share a wall though, so it's not an issue. Can your DH not turn down his alarm and get up the first time? That would annoy me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-have-toys-in-their-cribbed#post-1208094 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:44:09 +0000 autumnlove 1208094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't keep anything in the crib for my LOs! </p>
