Mila's Mobile

Mila has been sleeping next to our bed in the Graco Pack N' Play bassinet. However, the weight limit is 15 lbs for the bassinet feature, and Mila is pretty close to outgrowing it. We need to start transitioning her into her crib. I've tried putting her in there but she hasn't really taken to it. Jorge and I thought that now that Mila is able to see a bit farther, we thought we'd get her a mobile for the crib to see if she'd get more comfortable in there with something to look at. I researched the best mobile and found that this one would be great: the Fisher-Price Precious Planet 2-in-1 Projection Mobile.



What I really like about it is that not only does it play music and turn, it also has a light projector, which is perfect because Mila loves light! This mobile also lasts longer than others, since mobiles should be removed from the crib when baby can sit up, as it's a hazard in case baby uses the dangling toys to pull herself up. So after baby is about 4 or 5 months, you can't use them anymore. But with this mobile, the toy part detaches so when baby outgrows the mobile part of it, it can still be used for the music and as a projector for the ceiling. Genius! Long lasting, entertaining and safe!

My dad and I went to buy it today and I was able to put it together easily. I thought it might take her some time to get used to it, (just like it did with her swing) especially since she's in the crib. As soon as I put it together, she started getting fussy and I thought I'd give it a try and put her in to see what she thought. She cried at first, but as she saw the moving lights, she quited down... miracle! She loved it from the beginning! She's now happy in there watching her mobile for a good 10 minutes at a time, long enough to heat up some lunch! Love it!
