Help! Baby Hates Pack and Play!

[VeroBeachGirl]

My dd is almost 4 months and slept really well in her pack and play for only about a month! I think it's because she's used to sleeping on a crib mattress, so anything else seems hard and uncomforatble to her. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do or a product that is more comforatble for her to sleep in when we travel?

What I did for my kids when they needed to sleep in the pack and play, was at first I used towells, and placed about 4 thick bath towells under the sheet. This gave them enough fluff to get comfy, then someone suggested using an egg crate. I was a little afraid, but I used it pointy side down and made sure the sheet was stretched VERY tight across it. And it worked like a charm. I also made them sleep in the pack and play for about 2 weeks before a major vacation to allow them time to get used to it. Whatever you do, just make sure it's safe for the baby. Good luck and enjoy your little one.

You could also put a childs' nap mat in it to make the padding a little thicker.

We bought a Snuggle nest for traveling and DD likes it. http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Delight-...ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1209574116&sr=8-1

It also works well as a changing table. Really we bought it because I didn't want to hear my MIL give me grief about DD sleeping in bed with us (which is more comfortable, but for traveling the snuggle nest gives her a safe little place to sleep.

Sorry I don't have any advice about the pack n play. Mine hates it too, so she doesn't go in it anymore.
