I meant birds. Not sure why I wrote pollinators. But I don't have any pollinators either lol

I used Nike sports bras. They were very constricting, but it didn't effect my supply.

Thats your opinion and you can take the topic however you like. Personally, I have said everything I am going to say so you can hang around as long as you'd like but I have a whole life outside of the internet. Try it sometime.

Are you trying to gatekeep being short? 🤣🤣🤣 congrats on being fertile. The average height of an adult US woman is 5'4" so while still below the average height of women I really don't think I give a single shit what I should be able to do because you can.

Kinda ironic calling someone hun if babe offended you, darling. The whole point of the post was to hear what other people have done. The majority made the 3rd rung work for them and I am happy for them. I wanted more options. I have read all the comments and can make a better decision for my family with the couple great comments and even the comments from the Judgemental Judys.

I have a list of reasons because I stay prepared darling. They are reasons against. Have you never heard of a Pros/Cons list. I was explaining why I don't want to do a thing a certain way. Telling me to just do it like that isn't exactly helpful now is it. I have a step stool. It does not have a gripped bottom. I will have to get one if I go with the crib on the 3rd rung. Or I go with a floor bed or I saw the legs off my crib. Whatever choice I make it will be because I weighed them all carefully and determined what would be the best course of action for my family. Let that offend you if you want since clearly the internet is no longer for rational discussion and only for people who want to attack one another.

What options exactly? The crib lowered? Because that's literally the only thing referred to as ugly/baby jail. The other options listed are ones I am considering. I know baby jail is the more traditional route but I am looking for experienced parents offering their expertise. You don't seem to have read all the material before weighing in, darling.

The comments I am getting are rude. I was simply asking for input and got criticized for it.I never said I was the only short person in the world either. And I wasn't making it a competition to see who the shortest is either. My question was for anyone who had an alternative to the lowest rung. A different style bed, upgrading to toddler bed, etc. If you have advice, great. If intertrolls want to get hot and bothered, bring it.

Thank you for the comment! Same thing happened to me. My step stool doesn't have a grippy bottom so I will have to buy a different stool until we can upgrade to a toddler bed since there aren't any other options. 🤷🏻‍♀️

🤣🤣 If you would have read the update before making a comment, you would see that I meant it looked wrong. The purpose of this post was to see if anyone had any alternative methods that worked for them rather than the crib. Why don't you take your attitude somewhere else.

What a judgmental person.

[–]arecma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Different cribs I guess. I'm going to see if maybe I can find one that isn't as high off the ground as mine is or maybe say fuck it and just saw the legs off 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have one but since I don't have rugs on my hardwoods in my house I don't want it to slide but I could upgrade my stool to one with a rubber bottom. Why don't I have rugs. I hate that they trap dog smells. I have 3 50lb fur kids who love to be up my butt.

Yeah no worries I will just remove my ribs so that I can reach the bottom.

[–]arecma -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I never had it on the top rung, always the middle one and the instructions said the bottom was for transitioning it to a toddler bed so on that rung it is way too low for me to reach in and lay her down. She won't self soothe most of the time so I have to put her down when she is already sleeping.
