There is nothing worse than getting my 9 month old son to sleep in his crib, only to have the squeaky door of his nursery wake him up when I'm trying to leave his room. Sometimes, when Daddy comes in to check on him at night, he inadvertently wakes him up because of that darn squeaky door!
Yes, we have WD-40, and yes, I could walk it from the garage up to his room to fix this situation. But when I think about needing it, I'm holding a baby-sleepy or sleeping-and can't go out searching the garage for this wonder oil.
So, the other night, I thought to myself, "What else would work?" I know PAM will work (as well as potato chip grease from your fingers-just sayin'), but I had the same problem as before. I'm upstairs when I think of it, and it's downstairs.
So what did I have upstairs with us when I needed it? BABY OIL!! I put baby oil on some cotton balls and worked it into all of the hinges on the door.
No more squeaky door waking up my sleeping baby! And no more waking Daddy when I come back to bed after being with Jack (because I used it on our door too!). That's what works for me. Stop on by We Are THAT Family to find more tips and what works for others. Have a great day!
I also used it on my metal shower curtain rod to help the metal curtain hooks glide a little more smoothly. It's not quite as loud either, which helps eliminate yet another 'wake-the-baby' sound.
