Comment on Montessori floor bed in action by admin

Hi Heather,

I have not really experienced that the baby gets cold on a floor bed. Of course, we live in the Bay Area so our temperature doesn’t get super cold. If you are in an especially cold climate this might be a concern, although I doubt the temperature difference is very large between being on a floor bed vs. being in a crib or regular bed. One easy way to test whether a floor bed will work for you is to simply take out the crib mattress and place it on the ground. Lay your baby down on it for a night and see what happens. If she wakes up a lot and seems to be too cold, then either you’ll have to raise her up a bit or turn up the thermostat at night. Good luck!

my parents are concerned with the lack of airflow under the floorbed. have you experienced the baby getting too cold? i figure there are many ways around this potential problem. what is your experience?

Wow! That’s a great idea! I have a dresser that is low to the ground that it would fit perfectly on. Kinda like a hutch, you know, so it sits at the back. Will try it and see how it goes. For now I have it screwed in to the existing bookshelf, but it lacks a certain something…thanks for the advice.

Comment on Trader Joe’s Healthy Snacks by admin

I don’t know off hand except maybe Whole Foods. My local Whole Foods carries pomelos in their fruit section, so they may have the dried version…and, a quick Google search didn’t result in any online vendor, either. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

I used to buy dried pomelo at my local Trader Joe’s, but they discontinued it on the east coast because of slow sales. What other store would you recommend carries dried pomelo?

Why not place it horizontally somewhere on the floor or a bit higher (say a bit under some long table that touches the wall – toddlers like to set up their secret hide places / houses under tables)? In that case you’ll need to glue the shelves and the metal brackets to keep them in place or put a pair of flat-head screws at left and right of each metal bracket (or maybe one screw at the top side of each bracket)
