While everyone is happy to see Ern made her first stand, at the same time, that also mark the beginning of our nightmare - "when is the next fall?"
Choi, choi, choi...we wouldn't want Ern to fall down too! Let's accept the fact falling down is common for baby/toddler when they start to stand, crawl, walk or even run. I think what every parents can do is minimize the risk only, right?
We are in dilemma now, whether to remove 1 mattress (there are 2 mattress currently) OR bumper. Removing either one also headache. :-(
- Mattress: It will definitely be less cushioning for her. Ern moves a lot when she sleep. Her sleeping pattern for now is she will sit up (still sleeping with eye close) to adjust her butt and the next thing you hear it's "pong". Ern will sleep on her tummy with her face turn side way. So, we have used to hear "pong, pong, pong" middle of the night and don't bother to get up to take a look on her. We know she is "adjusting". *grin*
- Bumper: The original playpen doesn't come with the bumper. We bought it after Ern scratches her face from the netting. Ern has sensitive skin and the worst thing is, she likes to stick her face on the net. Maybe that would enable her a better view outside. Also, her favorite spot is the orange corner on the right! Don't know why she loves that corner so much.
Another decision, decision and decision....

read that u need to remove the bumper when babies learn to stand. They can use it to "step" their way out --- VERY dangerous.
I started to let Bryan sleep on the queen mattress on the ground when he was abt 6/7 months old. The crib was getting small and he kept banging the sides when he turned in his sleep.
One baby sleep in one queen mattress. Plenty of space for him to roll about. :-D
shud remove the matress cos soft matress (since there's 2) will make the leg not straight. That's what my nanny said. And its higher so she can jump out. use one is enuff la...
Shooi & Sasha - Daddy and I also think removing the mattress makes better sense. Ern is too mobile and we need to keep the bumper to "protect" her face.
