Bassinett???? Or other sleeping arrangements????

second_time_mommy7

Is anyone using a pack n play as a bassinett I planned to just get a normal one but after looking online the attachment on the playards that turns it into a bassinett for infants seems pretty cool and the fact that it has multiple uses has me very interested...

And now I'm looking at the rock n play sleepers... they have great reviews but I feel like my little princess would fall right out....

I am! I'm a first time mom so I don't have any basis to compare it to weather it will work better then a bassinett or not but were gonna try it! We have a Graco pack n play with a bassinett attached and a 'new born napper station' (for while there teeny tiny I assume lol) and it looks like it will work great! I'm trying to get multi use gear and things that will grow with her. My dads going to get her a convertible crib for her 1st xmas (she's due 9-6 so I'm hoping the timing will work out). Good luck and personally I think the pack n play will be a good investment

I have a strait bassinet my mom found at goodwill and updated for safety, its the one I used for my first. I really want an arms reach cosleeper cause they are pretty slim. I'm going to have to move my bedroom around to fit the bassinet I have

@Kay_la_la were you considering the pack n play or bassinett? Are you just going to use a crib instead? I will be breast feeding so I have to get something so she can be close to me at night and there is no way I'm moving her crib into my room!

I'm doing the pack n play with bassinet topper also. Undecided on which one I want though, lol. Then for Christmas she gets her real crib.

Oh..I forget to add, the napper station part snaps into the pack n play and is also removable so it can be free standing and rock back and forth. Conveinant for taking from room to room if nessisary lol. Had to add that

Pack n play works well... Thats what my daughter had... For baby boy we have a family heirloom bassinet that my hubbys family all used... (We were in Cali when my daughter was born so we disnt have access to it )

The newer ones w/ the attachment work great if you have the space in your bedroom to navigate around it without any toe stubbing (older ones work they just sag a bit in the middle). My friend used one with a canopy (tent-like attachmemt) to block light out, and both her kids slept great as newborns. Unfortunately, both my kids have spit-up issues and had to sleep upright in carseats or swings.

@mama0811 is the rocking bassinett called a rock n play sleeper by chance or just a normal bassinett that rocks?

I've got arms reach cosleeper, the mini ones, has wheels. Doesn't take space and baby will be right next to me for few months than to her room.

I'm borrowing a bassinet from a friend. Her youngest is 9 mos so it's an up-to-date one. I already have a convertible crib set up in his room just no mattress yet as they're expensive and I won't need it for a few months anyway lol
