Yes. You can usually find a twin-size piece of memory foam

on sale at Target for around $40.

With

regards to using Memory Foam, do people just buy a twin mattress topper &

cut it to fit a crib mattress?

I am not a fan of CIO. I am particularly not a fan of CIO while wearing a

helmet. I figure if my son is crying and getting all worked up that he is going

to end up sweating and then having to sleep in a sweaty band. My son is

currently between helmets. He gets #2 on Wed.

When he was in his first helmet he was (9-12 months old at the time) he was

getting up about once a night. Towards the end he was almost sleeping all the

way through, making it to about 5 am. Since he has been out of band #1, he has

been sleeping through the night. I guess the real test will be when he gets his

second helmet this week.

IMHO (since you asked for opinions) it is probably a combo of age and the

helmet that is keeping your daughter from sleeping through. Some people on this

board have put memory foam on the crib mattress to help their LO's get

comfortable sleeping. I did not do this the first time around but probably will

now that my little guy is older. Sorry that this post doesn't offer much advice

other than that. Maybe someone else will chime in.
