Crib Notes
Should you move your toddler from the crib to a bed? If she’s potty-trained or too big or active to sleep comfortably, probably yes. To make the transition easier, put the bed where the crib was. Let her use her crib blanket at first, even if it’s too small. Put up a guardrail to keep her from falling out.

Hair Aware
It's normal for the hair your baby was born with to fall out during her first few months and be replaced by permanent hair. You may also notice bald patches where she turns her head against the crib mattress, car seat or playpen. Some babies also lose hair if you brush it too vigorously or try to pull it into a tight ponytail. There's no reason for concern unless your little one continues to lose a lot of hair after six months; then you may want to call your pediatrician.
