Pack N Play Mattress?

Hello! My son is just over a year and we are planning a beach house trip this summer. We want to bring the Pack N Play for him to sleep in, but the pad is so thin and uncomfortable. He is old enough now where I don't worry as much about SIDS. Does anyone know of a mattress that thicker or any ideas on how to make it more comfortable? Thank you, D.

14 Month Old Still Sleeping in Mom and Dads Room in Pack-n-play?

My 14 month old went from sleeping in the cradle next to my bed to sleeping in her pack-n-play still in our room, away from our bed. I know I obviously have issues with separation! I put her to sleep in her crib one night and she woke up screaming/crying at 1am. How do I get her to start sleeping in her crib? How do i detach?

Help Deciding on Which Pack N Play

Ok, So i want to get a Graco pack n play. They have 2 out that have a "newborn napper" station. One the napper station is removable and you can take it where ever you'd like. The other stays in the pack n play. There is a $40 difference. I am just wondering if the removable part is really worth it. We will have a bassinet upstairs in our bedroom. So the pack n play will primarily be downstairs only. I want to go buy it today- so please let me know what you think. Get the removable for $40 more, or just stick to the stationary one. I...

International Flights with an Infant

I'm considering an international trip over the next year so my baby and her father can see his side of the family - we would go to India and/or Hong Kong. Has anyone ever traveled internationally with a child under 1? What should I pack, check and carry on? I'm not sure if I need things like a car seat, pack-n-play, etc. Suggestions on smart packing (how to not overpack) and travel tips with a baby (how to fly 24 hours and keep her as happy/comfortable as possible) would be appreciated!
