A Pack 'n Play Portable Playard Saved My Sanity

Our precious baby was just 6 months old, but I needed a weekend away.  My husband and I were celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary and it seemed like forever since we were able to travel.

A bed & breakfast in Maine sounded nice.  Perhaps a hotel just down the street would suffice.  It didn’t matter to me, but as I contemplated where to go I realized I couldn’t leave my baby for a whole weekend.

Besides the fact that I would miss her terribly, she was a picky baby when it came to eating.  I was still nursing her and she wouldn’t take a bottle in my absence.  So I began to consider my options by exploring the internet and local baby stores.

Portable pack 'n plays were something I had never heard of.  I loved the fact that it could fold so easily for travel yet offered a surrounding like my baby was used to.  It could fit easily into any space I may encounter.

It was a welcome solution to my dilemma and my need to spend at least one night away from my familiar surroundings and the everyday work I faced at home.  We had a wonderful weekend away and you can’t put a price tag on that.  My baby had a happier mommy and it was well worth it.

Not Just For Weekends Anymore

As my baby got older, I also realized that I could set the pack 'n play up in my home and use it as a playard for my baby.  If I needed to do the dishes or pay the bills, I could set up the portable crib and she could play for hours.

It comes with soft toys so I knew my baby was safe and could have fun playing with the baby toys.  This provided hours of contentment for my baby.
