Recommendation

I just wanted to share with you something that we ordered to use with Nathan that has been a life-saver - a portable sleeping tent. If you are having a baby or know someone who is, this is a GREAT purchase/gift (especially if you/they travel a lot)!

Our nighttime schedule gets interrupted at least once a week - we either stay late at someone's house or have guests at our house, and we seem to travel overnight quite a bit. If we're at someone else's house, we take the tent (which collapses easily and fits in a carry-over-the-shoulder bag) and set it up in a room not being used. If we have guests at our house, we often set it up in our bedroom (because Nathan's room is right next to our living room). And we've used it in a hotel, too.

It's lightweight (MUCH lighter and easier to carry than a pack 'n play). It comes with an inflatable mattress. And it helps baby feel like he/she has their own place to sleep if their crib is not available. Plus, with the flaps closed, it blocks out extra light, if necessary. There are mesh screens on each end so that air can circulate even when the side flaps are closed.

Anyway . . . we LOVE it!!! And since we've been using it, Nathan sleeps beautifully, even away from home! What more could a parent ask for?!
