Hi ladies, I skipped over to this board to get some suggestions, I figured I'd get better info if I asked the mom's using this stuff now!!! 

 I'm trying to decide if I want a cradle or a bassinet.  No matter what I get I'd like it on wheels.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Anyone have a product they can't live without? Any help would be awesome! Thanks ladies!

Personally, I had an heirloom bassinet. I did adore it, but kind of wished that I would have had a cradle as DD sleeps best with the motion.

However, my DD was a little bigger (born at 8lbs 13oz, 20.5in long) and was a bit big for the bassinet by a month, so I don't know that I would have been too happy if I had spent the money on one...

This is what DD sleeps in and we love it. I can just wheel her around the house if I want. It can rock as well but I have yet to use that feature.

Oh and thus far, I couldn't live without neither the swing or bouncy chair. She likes both at different times and I have one of the cradle swings...See if you can find them used though, honestly, some kids don't like either, some like one or the other and some like both. You don't want to have wasted 100+ on your swing for DC to hate it!

Emerson would only sleep in her swing so we never used our moses basket.  I was just going to start her out in the crib right away.  Sometimes your best intentions don't work out! 

Things I couldn't have lived without are the boppy, swing, baby bathtub, bumbo, baby vibrating chair (life saver when you need to put them down), and the FP Aqarium in her crib.  These are the first few things that pop in my mind that I used ALL the time with her.  GL!

We could not live without the Graco Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center. It is one of the best things we have for DS! He loves it!
