at what stages (months) did you lower the crib mattress?

DS is rolling like a maniac and I'm sure the next thing will be sitting up or pulling up on the rails. just wondering when you lowered yours?

Re: at what stages (months) did you lower the crib mattress?

I can't remember exactly, but DS could sit up on his own at 4 months, so we probably lowered it a bit then. By the time he was 6 or 7 months old, he could sit up on his own (getting up from lying down without assistance.) So it got lowered even more, probably all the way down. He was pulling up to stand within a month or so afterwards.

My advice: If you *think* it's time, do it. Better safe than sorry!

yeah I agree...I don't wanna chance it. he's a little wobbly when we put him to sit on his own...but he can't sit up on his own without being placed that way...yet. I'm still going to lower it bc this kids is a fast learner

We lowered it when DD started sitting up by herself around 4-5 months and then again when she started standing, which was 6 months.

we only lowered it once at 6.5 mos, and left it on the lowest setting. didnt want to keep lowering it every month or 2

Re: at what stages (months) did you lower the crib mattress?

we just lowered it for the first time at 8 months

Re: at what stages (months) did you lower the crib mattress?

If I were to do it again, I would just lower all the way the first time. We lowered it once when she could sit (around 5-6 months) but then had to lower it again around 7-8 months when she was standing....and it is a PAIN to lower!!!

My guy was pulling up on the crib rails starting on his 5th month birthday. I moved it down after that. I wasn't expecting him to do it that young.

DS is 7 months and we need to lower it. I won't be able to reach down to put him in w/o dropping him a little, though. I have a tough time now at its highest setting I ma 5'4" and IDK how people shorter than me do it.

DD#1 could sit up around 4 months so we lowered it a little then, then she started pulling up at 6 months so we completely lowered it then.

We didn't put Loey in the crib until he was 6 months old, so we started on the second highest level. At 6.5 months, he was pulling to stand so we put it on the lowest setting at that time.
