Cribs,Pillows, Linens and more PART II

[pinkpotato]

^ depends sa lifestyle nyo. For my eldest, up until 3 y.o i think. partial co sleep , we sleep together muna, let her sleep in our room then pag madaling araw we move her to the other room on her cot.

for my 2nd child, she's 7 months now, on a cot which is just beside me.

Still thinking if ganitong kind of crib ang bibilin namin for baby http://babysavers.com.ph/product/new-graco-pack-n-play-playard-with-reversible-napper-changer-darla/ or yung white wooden crib. Alin ba mas ok at sulit mga sis? Yun Graco pack n play ba magagamit pa ni baby kahit until 2 yrs old na sya or di na sya kakayanin? Hehe.

[vain_kixie]

Im a first time mom so i dunno if my suggestion will help. I bought both. Everybody was telling me to buy both. For one reason, because i will not co sleep. The convertible wooden crib which will be placed on his nursery is a convertible one, for sure will last till my baby is 3 at the least. The graco pack n play, i will use for his day time naps. I am planning on scheduling his sleeps and feedings kasi. So associating his naps sa different environment will help. Plus i can bring the pack n play to my parents' house when we go visit them.

I just got a simple pack n play. No vibrating thing kasi ang dami ko ng bouncer/rocker na may vibration thingies. I decided to buy a changing table/chest drawer instead of getting a pack n play na may napper changer na up to 20lbs lang ata.

Where do you guys buy your graco crib sheets nga pala?

[chubbycheeks]

^ sis, where did you buy your convertible crib? I saw one sa mothercare, around 20k. Sana may mahanap ako na less than 10k.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ same tayo, we have both. Baby is 5wks old now, first-time mom din ako.

We have a wooden crib sa tabi ng bed namin sa masters bedroom. Ayaw kasi namin isama sa bed si baby kasi malalaking tao kami ni hubby, nakakapraning baka madaganan o maipit namin. Dun sya natutulog sa crib pag gabi.

Then we have the Graco pack n play sa sala naman, for her daytime naps, and mainly pag si yaya ang nagbabantay (while nagre-rest si Mommy). We have the one with reversible napper and changer. Baby loves sleeping sa napper, as in. Yun lang, medyo matangkad si baby so at 5wks, halos pasakto na sa kanya ang length. Baka in 2wks or so di na sya kasya sa napper.

Sa bedroom ni baby, andun naman ang recliner. Dun ako nagbi-breastfeed sa recliner kadalasan pag during the day.

Bought mine sa states eh tapos pinaship ko dito. Shipping cost me 90usd pero i stuffed the box with laptops and whatnots. Yung crib was not over 300usd. Mas mura parin labas niya overall kasi ang ninipis ng mga wood sa mga mothercare and babyland. Parang tig 150usd lang yung ganun sa states. Yung graco ko naman 60 something usd lang plus tax. Nag sale sa target tapos iuuwi ng tita ni hubby ko.

[+arte20+]

Plan kasi namin itabi sa pagtulog si baby kaya either of the 2 lang sana plan namin bilin. Until what age ba advisable ang Graco? Baka kasi pag masyado ng mabigat si baby e di na sya kayanin at tumaob sila. 

[chubbycheeks]

^ sabi nung SA sa Baby Company until toddler years daw. Ilang months/years ba yun toddler? Hehe. Parang nakakatakot na i-crib or playpen ang baby pag nakakatayo na. 

[chubbycheeks]

I don't know about the Mothercare brand sis, but we got a Graco Pack and Play nung 2010 and we're very happy with it. Three babies used it na: my eldest, her cousin, and then my newborn is using it now. very durable, easy to transport and assemble, pwede sa infants and older babies because of the two levels, and very functional talaga for us pati yung removable changing table. We got a beige-colored one para versatile for baby boys and girls, linens lang ang papalitan. Plus, light-colored cribs and linens make it easier to spot dirt, stains, or insects.

Sis, until what age toh nagamit ng baby? Advisable pa ba toh for those na walking na?

[vain_kixie]

Dumating na my son's graco pack n play. Buti nalang talaga umuwi si Tita ni hubby. Im so happy we got it cheap kasi sale sa Target. Anyway nakasulat sa manual to: stop using the product when your child reaches 35 inches in height and weighs more than 30lbs (14kg).

Sino mga nagpagawa ng foam mattress for their pack n play? Anong measurements pinagawa niyo?

Also where can i buy crib sheets na ganitong size? Thanks

[jellyjelly]

Hello sis, anybody here na nakapagtry na makapagship ng item from US via pobox? Madali lang ba? I am planning to buy stroller in Amazon. Ano kaya recommended na box for that? Or baka meron din kayong recommended na other courier.

Thanks!

[chubbycheeks]

What do you put sa ibabaw nung pack n' play aside from mattress? Parang ang tigas kasi. Sabi ng isang SA, comforter daw pwede na. Anyone tried this? Anong brand maganda?

[vain_kixie]

Problem ko naman where to get crib sheets for pack n play. May nabili ako ang laki naman kasi 29x40x4 eh half inch lang yung parang board whatever diba. Parang kailan ko talaga pagawa ng mattress. Hassle naman whats the point na easy to pack kung may 4 inches thick na mattress akong dadalin.

[chubbycheeks]

^ magpapa-sadya na lang ako ng fitted sheets or pa-alter kung ano mabili sa mall then put rubber mat or waterproof pad sa ilalim

[ianmenchu]

I just buy the crib sets sa SM for our pack n play. Just tell the sales ladies na pang-Graco, they know naman the measurements.

And I don't put thick comforters, just the waterproof pad and the crib sheet na. Nakakatakot maglagay ng too thick or too big beddings sa crib, lalo na pag malikot si baby (and super likot ng baby ko!) and maliit pa. May risk namatabunan at magsuffocate.

My eldest used the playpen until she was 1.5- 2years old yata. Yes walking na siya nun. It's safer kasi na nasa playpen ang baby when you need to step out of the room (pero quickly lang syempre).

I saw a second hand graco convertible crib priced at 8k, maganda na ba and matibay ang material kaya nun? Other option ko kasi is customized wooden crib sa uncle ko and around the same price magandang klase daw kasi ng wood. Iniisip ko ano ang mas sulit between the two. Planning to buy separate playpen din kasi kaya i'm checking the budget din

[+arte20+]

^Yan din problem ko before sis. Kasi at first gusto ko ng white wooden crib mukhang mas maganda kasi at matibay. Pero eventually mas nagustuhan ko ang Graco playpen at nag-agree naman si hubby kasi madami din nagsasabi sa kanya playpen bilin instead of wooden crib. Kaya i ended up buying it online. Mas cheaper compared sa malls.

[daveigh]

^^ personally I find the 8k too pricey for a second hand crib. Like sis arte20, i bought mine online wala pang 7k ang gastos ko kasama pa shipping. Pero its the basic Graco Playard, wala na yung diaper changing station. Di nyo rin naman yan magagamit ng matagal. Good buy na yung basic, eto yung akin:

http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/tru_prod_images/Graco-Pack-'n-Play-On--pTRU1-11913514dt.jpg

Bought it via amazon then shipped via Pobox.ph. 4k yung playpen tapos wala pang 2k ang shipping.

[vain_kixie]

Mahal nga yan 8k for a second hand wooden crib. Order nalang from the states and ship it here add a little nalang for the shipping at least brand new pa. I had my wooden crib shipped here. Yung pack n play convenient din kasi you can bring it anywhere.

[Adam1025]

Mga sis wooden crib sya etoh yung exact na item sa website ng graco http://www.gracobaby.com/Products/pages/sarah-classic-crib-white.aspx 150usd sya sa website then selling for 8k naman dito second hand, 17k daw yan sa S&R nabili. Parang namamahalan kasi ako dun sa customized crib sa uncle ko 8k din hindi naman branded yun hehe.

I'm planning to buy both wooden crib and playpen din kasi, and I'm checking na din sa mga US sites. Question lang mga sis pag sa US ako bumili then ipa-ship ko thru pobox since bulky ang wooden crib and playpen, per item kaya ang charge nun? Kasi obviously hindi kakasya sa box nila yun
