Anyone use the Lulyboo for bedsharing w/newborn?

This is our third baby, with our first two we had them in our bed or in a bassinet for the first few months.  I never used anything with our first two and I was always really nervous, my husband is a very sound sleeper.  We also have a bigger bed now so I thought using one of these products would put my mind at ease a bit.  

Has anyone used this product or something similar? I also looked at the snuggle nest but it looked kind of flimsy and was more expensive.

thanks!

  • My issue with in-bed things is that I fall asleep breastfeeding. That's pretty much why I bedshare, so staying awake to put baby in the baby box defeats the point.
  • My LO refused to sleep at night unless we were right next to each other or I she could hear us breathe. My husband weighs about 200lbs and even though we have a very nice mattress she would inevitably roll into his space on the bed so I bought a snuggle nest (similar to the lulyboo) and she slept in that for her first few months. I LOVED it. I could sleep soundly with my blankets and pillows and still have her super close. Now shes big enough to "keep her own" in our bed and we don't use it anymore. It was one of the best purchases we made.

  • We were gifted a snuggle nest, and it lasted a total of about 30sec in our bed.  It was just so uncomfortable to have little metal legs and mesh sides by me instead of my baby.  And even with a big bed, you'd have to remove it to take baby out to breastffed, then put it back.  Not a fan.  I was much happier just having baby on the mattress, which is what we did with DS1 too.  If that's scary, then a co-sleeper that is the same height of the bed/basically extends your mattress into a crib would be better.

  • I thought I would use a Snuggle Nest for co-sleeping, too. Nope. Turns out, my newborn wasn't content with just hearing me breath, he needed to be in physical contact. It was scary at first, but frankly, I was too tired to worry a bunch. We have since gotten the hang of it, and I still love side-lying nursing to sleep. 

    I didn't have any kind of portable seat the first few weeks, so I ended up using the Snuggle Nest as a baby holder to put on the bathroom floor while I showered. So, I got *some* use out of it... lol
