Perspective: Saying goodbye to the last crib I’ll ever own
By Carrie Melago April 1 I’ve lifted my children in and out of cribs nearly every day for the past seven years. Sometimes I slid my hands under the warm belly of a content baby after a nap. Other times I hurriedly scooped up a wailing toddler who wanted out now. A few mornings I flipped on the light to find every stuffed animal and blanket tossed to the ground.
The bad news was that only an espresso version of the crib was available online, and I wanted — needed — white. We special-ordered the crib from a gruff manager at a Manhattan furniture store and borrowed our friend’s Subaru Forester to haul it to Brooklyn. I bought a hand-painted vintage mobile from Germany and blue and white polka dot sheets that I imagined would be the backdrop of our monthly baby photo shoots.
The author's second, and last, crib. When our second child came, I had no time for special ordering. I bought him the second-cheapest crib from Ikea. I didn’t buy new sheets. And we never even bothered to remove the safety warning stickers from the crib’s top rail.
