Question for shorter mommas & mommas to be: What cribs have you ladies found worked best for you…
Question for shorter mommas & mommas to be: What cribs have you ladies found worked best for you being short? I'm only 4'11" (and 3/4s so I proudly claim 5 feet most days when I'm asked how tall I am lol) I've found a few cribs that I've fallen in love with online but then it hits me that if it comes in and gets all built and whatnot even with the mattress height being able to be adjusted, if I can't reach baby girl properly or without hurting myself or God forbid her, then they're kind of pointless, and my mom who'll be watching her some days is even worse off than me because she's only 4'6" or so 😭 lol so what cribs have any mommas (5ft and under) found worked for them?

I would like to know too lol. Cause I had the same issue I'm 4'10 and when my daughter was on the lowest setting I couldn't get her out but thank god she was able to stand I was able to get her. Most likely when your child is on the lowest level it's cause he/she can stand so you won't have to bend over into the crib

@bria, @amaperalta03 lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who's thinking about this! I'm terrified that no matter what setting the mattress is on in whatever crib I choose or even if I buy a really thick mattress for the crib and put it on the highest setting possible that I won't be able to reach her when she's not standing or if I'm putting her in it for bedtime and whatnot, luckily her dad is taller than me (then again pretty much everybody who'll be around her at some point is taller than my mom or me lol for reference he's probably about 5'8" give or take, we're a rather short couple lol) so he should be able to reach her, but when he isn't there or my dad (who's taller than my SO, but not by a huge amount either) isn't there I'm so lost as to what we're gonna do; I'll probably have to invest in a stool or something to give me a little extra height or something lol

I walked in my baby's room to see and practiced laying a pillow down in her crib, and it's doable. I have a Sorelle convertible crib with it on the highest setting lol

I would use a bassinet and switch to a play yard with all the attachments. I have friends your height and they never used their cribs for the same reason. our check the dimensions prior to ordering. Most come a standard size though.
