OT Crib mobile suggestions

[sweetangel7]

Hello ladies...I know many of you are moms so I was hoping to get some OT advice...

I'm looking to get a crib mobile for my 7 month old son to encourage him to stay in his crib...fall asleep etc.  Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations...perhaps a mobile you have and your child loves...

I was thinking of either the fisher price ocean wonders (we have the aquarium and he loves it) or the precious planet...

Any thoughts?

Maybe I'll just go with a projector that sits on the floor...I found one at Target that also plays music or other sounds and projects onto the ceiling...that was my primary reason for wanting either of the fisher price ones...I thought the projection might be soothing etc.

Thanks everyone who answered!

we got this one fisher price projection one...im not sure exactly what its called but it clips on the crib and plays music and projects cute little colored moving pictures on the ceiling...like teddy bears and boats and stuff. i use one for the twins i nanny for and had to buy one for us because they love it so much!
i agree with joyrenee, the ones that hang down are just an accident waiting to happen.
but im not even sure if ill actually use our projection mobile or not...i might use it without the music because what happened with the twins was their mother always pushed the music on when she would lie them down since they were first born and then everytime the music would go off they would wake up...so during naps a lot of times you'll have to sneak back in their room and push the button so they dont wake up LOL and im not sure i want to be up and down that often...also with binkys, if you give one then u have to be going in there everytime it falls out of their mouths. so if i can im gonna save music for playtime and try to go without a binky....we'll see how that goes though haha!

Once baby can sit up a crib mobile is not recommended as they can use pull it down on themselves. Case in point- my friend just took her mobile down when she walked into the nursery to find her child LITERALLY swinging on it.

I was going to suggest Fisher Price Ocean Wonders. Sarah LOVES hers......she likes to watch the images is displays on the ceiling!

If you get it, it takes D batteries....thats one thing i was suprised by.
