If 'misery loves company'
- I'm having the same issues with my 11-month-old. We gave up on the pads (he tore them up too) - now use the washable bassinet pads from Walmart mentioned on another board here. Right now he's doing better as he'll use a small enclosed porch (can be hosed down!) during the day. BUT - every morning without fail, I have to clean up his pen. He goes to bed happily and never makes a sound - also doesn't make a sound when he needs to go! Might just have to work thru this...
