Can anyone recommend a good crib teething guard?

Since not everyone is interested in the outputs of my daughter…

Please note: I usually do not get too involved in what is trending in the Mumblr community, but today Olivia is napping enough, and I am actually on top of keeping up the house, and I already have dinner ready…so why not?

So, dear whoever,

I do not really understand the concept of disliking this group of people. I have known of teen moms who are financially independent and responsible. I have known of parents who have children in their twenties and thirties who are not. I know this argument has been made, so I guess this logic is failing whoever is ballsy enough to bully anonymously over the internet.

Good on you for that, by the way. You are super impressive.

I would like to know what magical element falls in to place in a young woman when she turns twenty that makes her so much more fit to be a mother. Moreover, how can a person say that maturity levels for certain ages are the same across the board? They are far from it. Based off that, you would think you must either acknowledge that some women are ready to be moms while they are still teenagers or some women are not ready even after they are no longer teenagers. This begs the question, why target teens?

Finally, what about teenaged fathers? Have they done nothing to deserve the same criticism that falls on a teen mother?

This whole situation is most curious.

Because I think we have found our new sleeping crutch.

Some day she will fall asleep IN her crib. That day is not today.

5AM is also her new wake-up-for-the-day time.

That is all.

Be impeccable with your word - If you are honestly looking to help, speak up. If you are looking to cause more problems, or be a catty bitch, then don’t.

Don’t take anything personally - If a post doesn’t name you, then it is not about you. If you make it about you, then that is on you. That isn’t anyone else’s issue.

Don’t make assumptions - Don’t assume something is about you. Don’t assume someone is wrong because they disagree. Don’t assume someone’s experience is so different from yours because they made a different choice from yours.

Always do your best - To act like a grown person—to act like the parents that you all are.

How did I not discover this product until now? How did I live without it? I am adding it to white vinegar and baking soda as things that will always be in my house.
