Puzzle Mats For Babies

HEMNES 3-drawer chest, white stain, 421/2x373/4
So this foldable crib is not necessary if the accommodation where you are travelling has crib, but we changed about 4 places when travelled, and some of them didn't have crib so this is really handy to have.
Foldable Crib
We bought this crib for our baby, like maybe the cheapest of them all. But it can have a drawer like on the picture, we didn't take it, and addition for swinging, that we bought and that was extra to help baby to fall asleep.

This musical mobile we put on the crib when she turns one month, and she loved it! We often used it to help us in putting the baby to sleep.
