Anyone care to share their opinions or reviews on this?
I just ordered one in desperate hopes that this will get my little guy out of bed with me. He won't sleep in his pack and play and I figured this would be a good transition out of my bed since it can sit right beside my bed and still be level with me.
I'm crossing my fingers for good reviews because the damage is already done to my credit card--I am just so desperate right now!
Also, does it fold up small enough to fit into a 4-door Honda Civic? We travel some and I was thinking this would be good for awhile when we are traveling.
Re: Fisher Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper
We have it and love, love LOOVE it. Our baby would not sleep in her crib. This sleeper has totally saved us. She sleeps like a lamb in it. Not sure about the size of your car, but I'd imagine it should fit just fine.
I don't know if you're breastfeeding or pumping or formula, but I'm pumping, and in the evenings, I started giving Juliet her bottles IN the sleeper, so that she gets drowsy in there, and associates it with something she enjoys. It's worked well. We also just bought the Miracle Blanket off Amazon, and I can't say enough good things about it. We nickname it the straightjacket, because it's a swaddling blanket which secures the baby's hands to her side. She has been sleeping much longer between feedings ever since we started swaddling her in this.
Anyways, those are the things that worked for us!
After all the reviews I read, I picked one up yesterday. LO, from day one, would not sleep in her bassinet, or flat on her back for that matter. Only in her swing or on my chest - which was the ONLY way we were getting sleep.
She stayed the night at MIL's last night - and MIL said she did great!! She's sleeping soundly in it right now, and tonight is our first night with it - so I'm hoping it's my miracle!
