I need a couple of these


My children are driving me crazy. EVERY time I put them to bed, the throw their binkies out. It's a game. Yeah, yeah, I know... then take away their binkies. NO. End of discussion. Nathan isn't as bad but Alexa... holy crap... I'm going insane. She just stands up, throws her binkies out & squeals. WILL NOT SLEEP. I would buy these but they're like $60 each! Yikes! Fun times with 1 year olds... fun times.

Ha ha- aren't they precious!?! I bet you could get crafty and create your own "binky net". Then you could make it pretty and sell on etsy..... think about it!

Oh, man. Good luck with that. haha Jackson went through that for a little while. I finally just got tired of going in and picking it up, so I let him cry for awhile. Never fun, but thankfully, he learned his lesson.

Oh goodness, yes I remember those days :)... though thankfully, my girls didn't do that too many times! Hopefully it's just a phase that ends quickly!! Maybe you should just go ahead and buy the nets b/c soon they will try and climb out of the crib... now that is fun let me tell you. :) More good times are ahead my friend :) You sure you don't want to try for another baby right now?! :)

I love the crib tents. They are cool. I just have to laugh that nearly everything in parenting is so "controversial" - To Binky or not, breastfeeding or not, swaddling or not. Whole milk or 2% You know- You could put some Pepsi in their bottles and they would never throw those out!

I agree with Natalee - give them soda! If they are going to stay awake anyway, at least they will have it by their side and you won't have to go in there ;-)

We were just looking to buy one of these this week! The cheapest I found was $55.98 at walmart with $1 shipping. Plus they come in handy when those babes start climbing out of their cribs too :)

i wanted to get one too b/c Kylee was scaring me and I thought maybe she'd climb out of her crib. but all 4 sides of the crib need to be even and ours is not. yeah, they are expensive. i bet you could do craigs list or something?

on of my old roommates had about the same problem so this is a comment that some one left on her blog. it sounded good to me... I guess her son kept climbing out.




A sheet of ply wood and a large rack should do the trick..... or maybe razor wire accross the top. A fencer, tracor supply out there should have them. : )

Luckly, Lily didn't do that w/ her binky. She would suck it until she was almost asleep, and then throw it on the floor behind her crib. In the same spot everytime. So there was a collection adding up. Hopefully the babies realize this game isn't fun for mommy and stop!!!

Yes we are playing that game here too. We are looking into the crib tents. They have one at their Nanny's house that we borrowed and I have to say its nice. I just hate to spend that much but I guess we would use them for a while.

Today we got together with another set of twins! Caden & Addison are just a month younger than Nathan & Alexa and were born at Texas Women's also! I met their mom (Laurie) through an email list I got on while on bed rest in the hospital. There was another mom who was supposed to join us who also has boy/girl twins their age-- but she couldn't make it. What a picture that would have been!

Nathan McKay Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:37 a.m., weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz, & is 20 in. long Alexa Dawn Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:38 a.m., weighs 4 lbs. 5.5 oz, & is 1 6.75 in. long We are so excited that they are finally here! The C-Section went very well & Alisha is recovering well, with the help of pain meds! Nathan needs quite a bit of help with breathing but is improving. We’re told that he may get his ventilator tube out today & they would help him breathe using a C-pap. He breathes ok on his own so he mostly now just needs some pressure to remind him to breathe. He is still in the highest level of the NICU but is doing well. He’ll be in there for at least a few days after we get to go home. Alexa is tiny but doing extremely well. Alisha was able to hold her while still in the OR before she needed some oxygen help. She only had to stay on the oxygen until 11 a.m. and is still in the lower level NICU. She should get to move to the normal nursery tomorrow m...
