Peppa doll.  Babies can use this as a "calming cloth" to hang on to as they learn to fall asleep independently.  I bought it in Cumberland, BC. You may have to google for a source near you.  A sweet face, not over-stimulating, Fair Trade and organic material.  $10. http://www.babylonia.be  Made in Belgium.

Is your child climbing out of the crib?

Posted November 24, 2010

Before you move your child to a toddler bed, please consider purchasing a crib tent.  This nifty item allows you to continue to use your crib with peace of mind because the "tent" prevents your child from climbing/falling out.  I always recommend keeping your child in a crib until age three years.  The move comes more easily for them at that age and they can begin to understand the rules surrounding this privilege.  Even then, many children require you to find a way to keep the door closed because they can't resist the temptation of coming out at bedtime or in the middle of the night. 

Here is a link to Wallmart's crib tent product.  (Normally I prefer to recommend an independent store, but WM's link was easiest for me to use.)

If you are having difficulty with a child who has previously slept well, started climbing out. got moved to a toddler bed and now bedtime is a disaster, I can help you through an Ask Kitty Email Question
