When the baby shifts in the crib this mattress makes a rustling noise which wakes him up. Will a mattress pad help &amp; is it safe to use?

You can get a crib mattress pad from Naturepedic, the company that makes the Lullaby Earth mattress. Amazon carries the Naturepedic Waterproof Fitted Crib Pad, 28x52.

I have been using this ever since I came home from the hospital and we keep this on our bed and she sleeps well in it. Where are you planning on keeping it? If it's on the floor- then yes U do need padding- I would suggest adding the padding under the lulyboo baby lounge rather than inside it.

Hi Michele - For best comfort you'll want a sheet on top. We never notice the pad while sleeping. It's working great.

It includes a rock hard "pad" that they call a mattress. I folded up a smooth quilt and laid it down over the mattress so baby would have some actual padding to sleep on. I know infants need a firm mattress but this one is practically a board. This bed is over-priced. Go with a traditional bassinet instead. The co-sleeper idea is fine, if you don't toss and turn, or drop your pillow over the side of your bed while sleeping. If you move, or accidently toss your pillow, the movement will move the baby's bed, or worse, your pillow could end up on top of your baby. Not a good idea.

Absolutely not. This is really expensive, and waterproof mattresses wipe right off. Also, anything fitted isn't very fast or easy to put on or off a crib mattress when it's in a crib. Much easier to clean the mattress itself. Also, this pad isn't really padded.

our air bed is inside of a mattress type cover for the sofa bed. Then we put another protective quilted mattress cover, it seems to work well though you can still hear sounds from movement

It does rustle somewhat, but not loud as to wake you. In the future I would like to have one with more padding that is waterproof. This one is thin and lightweight. Don't consider it a mattress pad, but a mattress cover. It is slippery and hard to keep my sheets in place.

Honestly, I don't have the unit under the mattress. I actually have it setting on the mattress in one of the corners of the crib and have the handle sticking outside the slats of the crib, so at any time I can sneak up and turn the unit on without baby knowing. Having the unit on top of the mattress creates a better vibration and the hum of the vibrator on the mattress is a plus to help baby sleep longer and better.

Yes, I put this under the sheet, no other mattress pad. It gave me some peace of mind, knowing that if my son slept on his belly, and was potentially face down that this would give him some breathing space. Especially when he was really little and didn't have as much neck control as he does now.

Sorry I didn't get with you right away. I bought it for my granddaughter so I had to get in touch with my daughter to ask her. She said it fits a regular crib mattress. She put a regular fitted sheet over it. She said that she likes it because when the baby moves, it doesn't make noise so the baby doesn't wake up.

I would recommend using a dust ruffle because you can see in between the mattress and drawer. It's not like a traditional crib where the dust ruffle will hang on the floor but it still looks nice.. and once mattress is perfect! It's not too high and not too low, it's right where an infant mattress should be but you could always try it yourself depending on what you like. I absolutely love this crib and I don't think you'd regret ordering it

It needs to be worn. If you left it inside the crib next to the baby, it wouldn't register the rise and fall of his stomach, only the slight movement of the mattress when he breathes. It would probably work, at least much of the time, but you would likely get many false alarms. If you don't mind dealing with that, you could give it a try, but I think it would make for a lot of lost sleep (on baby's part if no one else's).

No, get a lambskin blanket and put it under your crib sheet. Or lambskin rug they are fluffier

Use Painters Tape - it will reinforce the Snuza if you have a super active little one.My twin girls are both tummy sleepers, and it has never bothered them. The sensor is pretty soft. One of my girls is very active and her Snuza's grip wasn't a match for her backscooting and practicing crawling every night. So now when we clip it on the girls we use a little piece of thin painters tape to help give it staying power. No more false alarms.

I first looked at this: SnuggleWool Lambs Wool Pad, Crib 28x52 but decided against it because of the polyester backing. In the end I used an oversized 100% cotton thick plush beach towel over the plastic encasement to cut down on the crinkle and give a little comfort. I laid an organic wool piddle pad over top like this one: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/wool-mattress-pads.html Then I put an Ikea 100% cotton fitted crib sheet over top. It has worked out well, very little crinkling, comfy and breathable. Good luck! :)

This is very quiet.....about the same noise level as a steam iron. I don't think you should have a problem using while baby sleeping---your footsteps will be louder than this mop!

I bought it for my toddler but would have felt safe if he were an infant. I actually use a soft mattress pad because it isn't plush
