The other day I go into Vince's room to get him from his nap and I notice all these white flecks on his face and clothes. Then I look at his crib and realize he's been biting on the crib rail and chipping off the paint!! Thank goodness there's not toxic paint on his crib, but still, I didn't want him swallowing that stuff and want to preserve the crib for babies to come. I had seen plastic rails you can buy, but they can be a bit pricey and I wanted something now. So we found this great tutorial online for a homemade one here. Vince helped me and it took literally 10 minutes! :)
Evidence of the biting
You need fabric as long as the rail and 10 inches wide.
Then you lay it over the rail and cut strips between the bars and tie in a knot. Tuck the extras up in the rail cover and done! Easy peasy!
