Rock n Play

CMesser2013

Anyone else using the rock n play sleeper at night? Baby Cole loves it and sleeps for about 3-4 hrs but it makes me a bit nervous...

Interested in what everyone else is
using...

We use the rock and play during the day and momma Roos at night, though I would like to try to move a crib back in our room and try that again, because I tend to sleep with one eye open.

We use the rock and play at night but hope to use the crib soon. It makes me nervous too. But I wanted to say, our son's name is Cole too!

We used the RnP for the first 6.5 months with DD1 and she transitioned to the crib easily. We use the RnP, bouncer and swing with DD2...she's really finicky.

Yep use it at night and have no worries about it.

I used it over night for my second for 5 months and never worried. Haven't had to use it over night with this LO, he likes to sleep in the newborn napper part of the PNP.

We use it - it doesn't worry me at all. It even says it's fine for overnight sleeping.

RnPs make people nervous b/c of the flat head issue. I only use it for short periods during the day but it's oh-so-tempting at night! Baby loves it but there's a lot of scary stuff to read if you Google it. In moderation it's probably fine.

We only use it during the day as more of a seat for him to join the family during meals and couch lounging.  I would hate not having him in a cosleeper at night.

I wish my daughter would sleep in the cosleeper, but she's all about the RNP these days.

And I will add: not nervous about it at all.

We use it at night per our pediatrician's recommendation so, not worried.

We use it at night since day 1. No worries.

Our babies wouldnt sleep in the Pnp bassinet or their cribs. We wouldnt get any sleep without the Rnp

She likes to stay up at night so I put her in it for a hour or so they back to bed.

Why would it cause a flat head any more than a bassinet? My LO lays in it and sometimes has her head facing left, sometimes right and sometimes straight up. I'm on no sleep, so maybe I'm missing something?

I agree w/ @Rogue237‌ . DD turns her head every which way in her RNP. I don't know how this would cause flat head any more than any other sleeping place.

I've read that fisher price fixed the issue with the old rnp. If you're concerned about the padding & the plastic piece underneath, pad in between with some blankets--that's what we did with no issues.

Anything your baby is laying on can cause flat head.
