keeping the cats out of the crib

Mystic_Gemini • single mother by choice to an amazing little boy - 12/22/17

I have 4 cats and a 7 month old baby boy. Since birth my son has been sleeping in a pack n play in my room, but I also have a full size crib for him to move into at some point. I’ve had zero problems with the cats getting in the crib we’re using, but they’re convinced the other one is for them. There’s no way to close off the room, and I’ve tried everything I can think of to keep the cats out of the crib. I’m not really concerned about them being in there now, just don’t want them in the habit for when he starts sleeping in there.

Anyone have any advice? Should I just not worry about it and figure they’ll stop using the crib once there’s a squirmy baby in it?
