which is strange bc i have been doing it since DD1 was 6 mo old. which was 3 years ago. and this is the first time he has ever said anything like that. the only other hing he ever said was to comment on the right bungy cords to use to hold it to our bed. 
.
i think it is bc his mother said something when she baby sat. and then the next weekend she came over for DD2 bday. i never leave her nap alone in her crib. i always hear her the moment she wakes up. so she had never fallen out before. but i went to the store and when i got back i heard her crying. DH and his mother said she tried to climb out herself and fell off the bed. they obviously werne't listening for her like i asked cause they would have heard her. i live in a trailer. you can hear her fart in her sleep from across the house. and it was only him, his mother, and the other 3 kids.
so what did i learn. i learned i cant trust anybody. sigh. i just cant leave my kids with anybody else. DH would have been fine alone by himself.
he aso said i only do it cause i am too lazy to get up at night to feed her. well duh. of course i like to sleep. it makes me a better mom to the other kids if i get sleep. but iit is not the only reason. it is also to strengthen the bfing relationship and our parent child bonding.
he never said this stuff before. i think he regrets saying it bc it was during an argument. but still. he might really feel that way or have a doubt now or something.
make me feel better. please. how do you keep your kids in their side carred crib? how do you deal with other people?

. Next time I would just place some pillows/blankets on the floor so she would have a softer landing if she did try to get off herself. You could also get a cheap baby monitor for when others are watching your baby, to make sure they can hear when she wakes up. Or both 
only we used a dense foam block the same length as the crib matress and I made a cover for it. It pushed the crib matress up against ours tightly. I purposely left our crib matress 2 inches lower than ours because I don't want her rolling out of the crib in her sleep. She's almost 9 months old and has fallen off of our bed once, then we practiced crawling to the edge and stoppping with her. Now when she wakes up she crawls to the edge, stops and sits up, and yells for us to come get her.
