Same here, music distracted my Eric and he couldn’t sleep. He loves listening and dancing to it though :) Those are the cutest little dances I’ve ever seen.

I tried playing soft music for Bubba to sleep with but it didn’t work. We dance all the time to the radio or a CD though so they still have a great love for music. Chubba actually will crawl over to the radio and push buttons until music comes on and then smile and start dancing.

The mobile I chose was a rainforest one with soft animals, a light and music. I put it up at about 6 months when she started sleeping in her crib, and it’s still up now at 19 months. I don’t see that there’s anything on it to strangle her as the hanging toys are just small, stuffed animals and their strings are very short. She loves that she can turn it on/off or change the music for herself. After I got the mobile, I wished I had gotten one much sooner since she used her crib for naps or at night on occasion.

So much for my set of stereotypes - I couldn’t imagine a crib without mobile on it :) Did you play any music to your babies?

My little ones didn’t have mobiles. Maybe because the crib didn’t get used until around 6-7 months old which is the point when you are supposed to get rid of them anyway.
