Been there, done that
Bobeena
Daddy is tired.
SwayzeS
Gosh, now I miss my children being that young. I'm NOT crying; maybe misting up a little, is all.
ICanChangeMyUserNameWheneverIWant
Yup I remember these nights...
Derginsdrogalot
Totally remember doing this on those nights where you just NEEDED quiet. Glad it's over but I think back on them fondly.
MmmYesShallowAndPedantic
Time to lower the mattress, take out padded bumper, and walk away…
VelvetChunder
I did that with my second. We upgraded the cot just so we could. Those late nights and the anxiety of them waking up were brutal.
Ploty
That's how you learn a baby to cry
lemmefixit
Was that crib built by Ron Swanson??
yingjun
sturdy ass crib
measterl
Damn good crib
almostalone
I co slept with my kids. Never had an issue.
skippyopolousovich
Extraction difficulty level 100! He's there for the night now
Justalobstercowboy
I have been there
HonkyTonk
Still there
dillpicklez
The end of crying is so nice that was therapeutic
snaprollin1992
A crib is better than nothing at all. Sleep where you can no one would ever judge. We'd all probably do the same thing
HomoSumHumaniAMeNihilAlienumPuto
Is this from a condom ad?
Akyan
It should be lol
Raeilgunne
or for the crib
temposaur
Been there done that. Woke up three hours later and didn't feel my legs
mrpoponzz
Oh yes... Anything so they can sleep so you can sleep
Muunk
That dad is sooooo tired.
mippijRunner
Yes! Poor thing. There are pics of both of us just crawling into the crib to stop feeling like zombies lol
Snark42
Crib naps are the best naps
ImADouchebag
Not if you are a big fatass.
oiikeg1i
I’ve done this. At some point you’re like “whatever it takes”.
qhogan11337
Whatever works man. My neice had to have drag races playing
Dani3113
I pictured drag show first and was like WHAT
? That would have made more sense
PlumbingPredator
Real talk right there! - Dad
DooksandPooks
Babies and puppies love listening to the sound of a heartbeat
BantersaurousRex
Unfortunately my wife has a valve abnormality, so my son only liked her heartbeat. Which made her life very exhausting for sometime!
blzrdphoto
I have twin boys. I know this feel.
darthstormer
I remember the crib my girls had; would have crumbled to rubble if I had tried this.
dragonsluvtacos
Right? There were times I wanted to do this with both of mine but wasn’t sure the crib would hold me.

Modern cribs will all handle this and more. Recalls and infant deaths have brought serious improvement to their construction.
JunkFoodVanDame
Not true for ours. We got a pretty expensive crib but it still has a very thin frame.
SerenePrincess013
I had an antique one (w/ the springs under the mattress) for my eldest. My youngest had one that was solid oak (grown w/ me kind).>
Crawled into bed w/ her one night, only to have my ex bitch about "you're going to break her bed!!" Bc I'm heavy enough to snap oak...
zacknotzatch
Yeah, looks adorable but I'm not going to try it with our Ikea crib.
doubleRapscallion
This crib probably cost 1.5k+. The rest of peasants went to ikea and got one for $100
meauho
I did exactly this with the $200 crib we bought from Toys-R-Us in 2012
HaplotypeX
But wouldn't the baby get used to it and now dad is trapped for at least 5 years in that position?
BlackBearChopSticks
No. My youngest would only sleep on me. Hated naps. Hated sleep. He went to bed just fine at 2. Make them feel secure and safe and loved.
rubber1duckie
Could be a once off because the kid is sick
LiterallyAnOpossum
Maybe. My niece turns 6 tomorrow and she still refuses to sleep alone. :\
Umataro
Sometimes, you can only solve today's problems. Parents need sleep, baby needs sleep. So you leave tomorrow's battles for tomorrow.
SuxBoyTony
This comment deserves a prize. Every new parent needs to hear this, and by kid #2 this is a well learned order hah.
MillennialsRuinEverything
Those padded sides can asphyxiate a very young child if they get stuck against them. No pads or blankets until older!
backet
So often we're told, "this can do that" and focus so hard on "this", nevermind the fact that with enough creativity, anything can do "that"
Distractedlurker
That kid is old enough to stand up unassisted. Padded sides are fine.
Rimbox
this looks like a nightly occurance so the pads are probably for him
garlickygarlic
They are older.
jeanlucstewart
I've had four kids. I still have four kids.
pr0nty
I don't understand how this isn't top comment! Number one rule for cribs is nothing soft! Not even the mattress!
wooooooowzaaaa
I got my arm stuck in the crib so my mom had to add them
RoamingEast
cause the kid in this video is fully mobile and is likely at the age when it can escape the crib if it wanted. i
supercerealsteph
For toddlers that can stand up? Isn’t that for infants? Like, it has to do with their ability to roll over so this kid is older
drduffer
That baby can stand on her own. She’s old enough. It’s the tiny ones, just old enough to roll over that get in trouble.
MrsUnderstoop
I bought a crib but my children slept with me- waste of money
AntikytheraMechanism31415
Yeah same
Soifon87
I had a crib you could put beside your bed. Baby still had extra space and I had it easy to breastfeed at night and calm them. I loved it.
That would have been nice- I think they came out after my children
muchusernamesoplanetwow
Wish it would have worked for us. She was such a light sleeper I couldn't transfer into the bassinet
Ultratoxic
Ah yes, this works as long as you built the crib entirely from old growth 2x4s. Which everyone does for cribs that will be used for < 1 year
TerrorAustralisIncognita
Ron Swanson would build it like that
eggmuffin
The crib I had as a kid was 60+ years old at the time. Cribs are generally built to last, and inherited.
We bought a used high quality one, used it for 2 kids, sold it on. That crib will have seen many more families before it gets chucked.
YouWonTheGam3
I just got a used convertible one to goes to toddler bed then full sized bed. Do you think it's worth it or a toddler will destroy it?
Annemoon
yeah, they're going round in our friend group. Just like the fancy strollers. It takes a village and all that :P
Good! There's enough "cheap and shiny" in landfills. F*** consumerism!
I think it is also just so much more fun this way :) And yeah, feels good to be like f you
Volpe42
Not sure what kind of super crib that kid is in but that would never work with my kids crib.
AwesomeName
We had a crib from IKEA. Totally supported my weight.
VaultGirl69
It might not have legs, or be in a solid platform. My bed is directly on the floor. It's easier to jump into (I'm short).
Even so, that would destroy a mattress as well.
