Well, I&#8217;ve devised some creative solutions. To keep her from repeatedly smacking her head into the hard sides of her crib, I borrowed the portable (and soft sided!) crib from my parents. With so little room in the nursery, I decided to just plop it right inside the real crib.

She has just started to get fussy when she can&#8217;t see me, which led to the newest addition to our household:<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_11_placeholder\n<p>Introducing, The Good Old Fashioned Cardboard Box!
