THE CRIB-A-BOOK

My name is Lara Alcantara I am a children's photographer who is mother to my wonderful daughter Maia and wife to my amazing husband Luis. I am a sleeper, not one of those that can
wake up early and be all chirpy in the morning. So when I had Maia one of the
the things I knew I had to do, was train her to sleep through the night in the early months of her life. So I did. Maia slept 12 hours since she was 7 weeks old. I know... an angel. Getting a
good night's sleep makes me a good mom. She is now 3 1/2 and she only wakes up at
night to go use the potty. The Crib-a-book Helped me get a little more sleep in the mornings.
The Crib-a-book is 24" x 12", I thought if Maia could have some board books and some safe toys in her crib without having to place them on her matress, she could see them as soon as she first opened her eyes in the morning. Not only would she learn to play by herself without anyone leading her, but maybe I could get a little more sleep. It might sound selfish to some, but I am so much of a better mom when I get my sleep. I built it from scratch and placed it in her crib and tested it out for a couple of days, realizing that if I kept it interesting to her by changing out things around and adding new things, she would play by herself and give me my much needed snooze. It was also good for her development to learn to investigate and be curious without me around. It hangs with ribbon ( Included) when the baby is in the crib, and then hangs by their head board for easy reach. It can come monogrammed in any color for an extra cost.
