My FI brought up that he would like to have something for the baby to lounge in with us in bed prior to putting her in her bassinet for sleeping at night.  I know there are mixed reviews on the Dock-a-Tot, so any other loungers that the STM mamas can recommend that worked for them??

@jaclyn0405 I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but when DD would lounge with us in bed it would usually be on my chest or on her back between us (no blankets). However this didn't really happen before bed because she was typically being put down for bed between 5:30 and 6:00pm. ETA: To clarify: right after birth she was sleeping a lot and nothing was scheduled. I didn't start with a schedule and early bedtime until around 6 weeks.

 @jaclyn0405 second if you aren't sleeping baby can just lay on the bed in between you, no need for a separate baby contraption.

@missblaze and @mamaof5already thanks ladies! I figured I would ask since he inquired, but your answers make the most sense as well!

What the other ladies said. We also loved or boppy lounger, but didn’t really use it in bed.

Do any of the STM’s have naturally curly hair and lost the curl while pregnant? It was curly in the beginning of my pregnancy, but now my hair is stick straight. Will it come back?
