How do you keep babies/toddlers from biting the crib and ruining the wood? Licensing is really strict on pack and plays so i got rid of them. But they also dont approve of the "rough wood" on the crib.

They are picked up ONLY when in a sitting position.
I've used sleep sacks for warmth and they double as something that prevents standing and/or climbing quickly.
My crib is right in eye sight so when I have an infant using a crib and they begin to stand, I stop them. Rinse and repeat and eventually they simply learn that sitting is the way to get out. !
PNP's aren't hard for licensing. You just can't have any holes in the mesh and you need to have sheets that fit tightly. Other than that, there really is no difference between cribs and PNP's as far as licensing requirements go. Both require monthly checks and tight fitting sheets.
Is your licensing department saying you need to do more than that?

That's a much nicer alternative the "Hot sauce!" that popped into my head. :: Not that I'd actually do that...

Now I have the metal evacuation mini-cribs.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

I want to get this. I just wasnt sure if there is a rule on this or what can be on a crib.

Originally posted by Cat Herder View PostI expect supervision would prevent that. Naptime is supervised time. I can't imagine a child being standing that long before being laid back down or put back down on the floor to play. It is only 20 minutes before they are asleep or back down per regs. It also is a very short period of time that they should be in a crib after learning to stand.

I'd use a clear plastic teething guard intended for cribs. We aren't supposed to attach ANYTHING to cribs so other attachments would be too obvious and I'd get in trouble. The clear plastic teething guards look like part of the crib. https://www.amazon.com/KidKusion-270...%2C269&sr=8-24
