When our twins were born, we moved our 2-yr-old to a toddler bed, and put his crib in our bedroom (for those late night feedings). The twins shared that crib until they were about 4 months old (they rolled too much and were getting too big). We then bought a new crib and put it, along with the old crib, in our 2-yr old’s room. Worked just fine with all three in a room… except the NEW crib got recalled and we had to replace it! So you never know with cribs what will happen. Just be sure to sign up for recall alerts from http://www.cpsc.gov

We didn’t try cloth diapers, but admire those who do make the effort. The most important thing to remember as a parent is to be flexible. Try to do things the way you want, and if it doesn’t work, it’s okay to try something else.
