Ask My Little Buddha

Do you have any recommendations for where to find an organic Pack n Play or portable crib mattress?

We rely on Dax Stores for well-priced and good quality organic co-sleeper and Pack n Play mattresses. To make sure we get the right size, we’ll call them on the phone. We also order at least two wool puddle pads and an organic sheet sized for the mattress. Mainstream labels like ABC make organic sheets to fit the smaller shaped mattresses, and we often try a few different ones to find the best material and fit.

We have yet to see an organic Pack n Play. For now, we put the organic mattress on top of the hard Pack n Play pad. We follow the same routine with the Arms Reach Co-Sleeper, though for sleeping, companies are designing organic options like the Seed Organic Cradle and the Organic Orbit Bassinet. An organic Pack n Play could be next.

How do you deal with a 3 year old who shows a strong preference for their dad, even though (or perhaps because) mom is the primary caregiver? More
