Co sleeping ?
First off let me preface this by saying I am not comfortable with having my baby sleep in my bed. But my MIL (may have mentioned this before) has told me she'd like to purchase a bassinet as part of a family tradition on her side. I never really liked them and we have a lot of stuff we've received as hand me downs from my sister including a pNp and bouncy seat, a stroller with a detachable bassinet that I was planning on using during the night. But MIL called recently just to double check on the bassinet inquery and I am thinking I still don't Want a bassinet but what about the arms reach cosleeper thing? Should I register for it? Or am I going over board and just adding to the clutter in out basement? Or is the arms reach thing worth it? As a sidenote I plan on EB (but I am aware not everything goes according to plan)
I'd also like to transition ther to her crib asap.
Sorry for typos /lack of punctuation nesting from my phone
Any other suggestions are 100% welcome
Re: Co sleeping ?
I am going to use a Co-Sleeper for at least 4 months. I'm not sure if I will hook it to my bed or not. I used a PNP with DS and he warped the board that held the bassinet attachment. When I contacted graco I was told that they are not manufactured for long term sleep so that is why I am not using a PNP this time. the co-sleeper is manufactured for your child to sleep in.
If it was me I would ask her for that instead of a fancy bassinet and see if she would be OK with that.
August- They sell mattress pads for PnP that are better then just the board. plus I use a fluffy cover under the sheet for the PnP we use at my moms so his little bad has support.
Kate- I have a bassinet. I LOVE my bassinet because it has wheels as I have her near wall and when she needs to be fed I pull her closer to bed in the middle of the night. I got a really nice one 50% when pregnant with Jack.
I like the bassinet for sleeping rather than my PnP because everything comes off bassinet for cleaning. The sheets and entire piece that had skirt/overhang on top. I recommend one like this for cleaning.
If you are getting a ton of hand me downs already, get something nice like this.
Ours had the mattress stuff but the board that slides into the bassinet attachment that goes under the mattress stuff is what warped. They may have changed the design I didn't look at them this time. I was more pissed at Graco when I called them and they informed me they are only for napping cause they sure don't market it that way.
