    Yes, I think the mat is ideal, I'm just not set up to have kids on sleep mats right now. UGH! If only I knew a week ago. I have a video monitor. It's awesome! I totally recomment it!

    He's super tiny though. He looks like he's 11 months old. It's so bizaare! I can't believe he can climb out of the play pen like that!


    At home he's in a crib. They said he sleeps fine. He came from a centre daycare and slept fine there apparently too... in a PNP. But, who knows. I've heard negative things about this specific centre.

    thanks for the advise. I will see how the rest of the week plays out.

    The tiny ones are often better climbers...they are light so it is easier for them to pull their weight up I agree with the others who have said either put him in a playpen in the room with you or on a mat/cot in the room with you until he learns to stay put. Also, some playpens are bigger with higher sides than others...I just bought one that is smaller and had to give it to the youngest/least likely to learn to climb out. Is it possible that the playpen he is in is a bit smaller? Maybe you could swap it for a larger one?
