Thought this was so funny! Really put things in perspective for Josh and I. That is essentially what a crib is! A cage! Josh and I bought a cage (lol) when we were just kids ourselves but we are pretty certain not one of our kids ever slept in it. Like ever. Lol. The few times I can remember attempting it, I know I felt like something wasn't right. Then that instinct thing came in. That part where as a mama cub, something didn't seem right. SO i fixed it! I rescued my baby from the foreign thing that was interrupting our bonding time!
If only someone would have told us to save our money! We could have really used that $500.
Best parenting advice I can offer: You don't need to buy anything for your baby to sleep in. Your baby actually, scientifically proven, needs you! You keep baby warm, you keep baby fed and you keep baby sleeping. Mothers are magic! Too bad some mothers don't realize their value!
Lol, again I totally agree, baby #1 had a crib, thankfully a free hand me down, used maybe twice lol, became a big laundry basket! With #2 and #3 we never even assembled a crib! Most people thought we were nuts, and were like, where is the crib, where is the nursery!? We never even had a room for our babies, our room was their room.
