Crib Tent

A homemade crib tent, to prevent a certain someone from "sharing" her blankets with the baby and stuffing them into the crib onto his/her face.

It's clipped on in the two back corners with little plastic rings (and tied on all across the front with thread). 

Just unclip,

And insert or remove baby!  :)

How have other people solved this problem?  (The, "my toddler shares a room with my newborn, and I don't want her chucking stuff on the baby's head in the middle of the night" problem).

  1. Jess, I really do admire your ingenuity and resourcefulness (and the blog posts!).

  2. That looks like a lot of work to do it up and untying every time you go get the baby. Hopefully your plan will work that Bethany wouldn't touch it.

    1. Hi Leah

      Well, we don't have to untie the thread every time. That stays done up. We just pull the two clips off in the back corners. I think it should be pretty quick. We have the same clips on our cupboard door to keep Bethany out of the garbage can, so we're used to getting them on and off.

      I guess it will be good motivation for us to learn to do it quickly, when there's a crying baby in there on the verge of waking Bethany up in the middle of the night! :)
