Craigslist fail.

I have a great pack-n-play for our room for the first three months or so, but I want a bassinet because it's smaller. I found one on craigslist, emailed her, sent some texts and pictures and agreed to buy it. I met up with her and see the bassinet fist hand.. it is filthy! So nasty! hair, crap, stained! None of this in the pictures.

Luckily, it didn't have batteries so I had no way to test it (this is the reason I gave for walking away) DH said "that would have went right in the trash, if you want one just buy it new). So much for trying to save a few bucks.

I understand baby things being used/need a good scrubbin'... but this was just over the top.

waste.of.time.

 

I think I need to just stick with the pack n play, but a bassinet looks so cozy. 

BTDT, what did/do you use for the first few months if you're sharing a room?

Re: Craigslist fail.

  • We used the rock n play. We then transitioned him to the pack n play, but he quickly outgrew the bassinet portion (weight limit 15 lbs) so we're back in the rock n play again.

  • He started in the pnp, then we moved him to the rnp because of reflux. Then he was back in the pnp because I wanted him to be able to sleep on a flat surface. He's now on night two in his crib and I'm so not ready for it!! ??

  • We use the RNP as well. It's great, but I think I'd like to move him to somewhere flat, so he has room to move. Then again, he would be laying flat after his MOTN feedings and I know he would spit up, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm considerin

  • We just borrowed a bassinet from some friends. They offered it to us when they needed to put it in their attic and now I can't get them to take it back.

  • We used a PNP the first 2 months.

  • M slept in the PNP in our room for the first 3.5 months. Ours doesn't have a bassinet or newborn insert, so she was laying flat. Sometimes she would sleep in her bouncy seat beside our bed.

  • RNP. then we moved him to the PNP then the crib. then back to the RNP in his room because he was waking every 2-3 hours in the crib. we'll try the crib again later and figure out how to "nest" him in there so that he feels more cozy and confined.
