The only problem is my 5 month old is in there! The crib was always a good SAFE place to put the baby while I did other things around the house. UNTIL my 18 month old decided that he really wanted to go in it as well. He climbs in and lays on his brother! lol! Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? I am sure it happens/happened to lots of you guys!

First, may I say, kudos to you, having an 18 month old and a 5 month old, they are only 13 months apart, wow! (I thought I had a handful with my two boys who are 2 years apart) Anyways, they sell little netting "tents" that you can put over the crib, they are intended to keep little one's in, but I could see how they could keep your older one out. BUt, he might also not care that there is netting over the crib and try to come in anyways, it would be more of a detterant, but It would depend on your child. Other than that, I don't really know. I have had a problem with my almost three year old trying to get into the crib with his 9 month old brother, but he's older, and obeys. It's hard for an 18 month old to obey as much, and you really can't expect that he will, or trust that he wil all of the time either. I suppose you could just close the babie's door when you need him to play in there, and if the 18 month old knows how to open doors, you could put one of those door knob things on there. Good luck!
