@neverbeenalone We kept her in crib until almost 3 when she actually started to climb out. That was when the problems started, haha. But yeah, crib as long as you can. Mine loved her crib, it was her safe space.

@3007 3 suuucccckkkkeddddd. She cried a lot. I cried a lot. Kid is now 5 and actually kind of awesome to hang out with. We go on mommy-daughter dates to cafes. She can follow most directions. She plays independently. It gets better!
