another question from 3rd trimester

I am a first time mom and I am planning on using the bassinet portion of the pack and play for the first month or so. Do I need to purchase any type of waterproof covering to use above/below the pack and play sheet? Thank you in advance!

I didn't...and DS slept in his for 2wks and I never had a leak at night...you should be fine!

I would if you could find something. I never used one and my son drools/spits up and it soaks through his sheet. I have to wash the pad alot!

They make sheets specifically for them but I never used them.

Yes. I had to because DS's diapers always leaked in the beginning (every diaper I tried leaked). I just put one of those waterproof changing cloths under the sheet where I he slept.

I would... just because my LO spits up A LOT!!! I would be changing the sheets everyday if I didn't put a "sheet saver" down... They actually sell sheet savers at BRU, but it is cheaper to just go to JoAnn Fabrics and buy and yard or two of the waterproof felt-like material. It is on the large rolls in the back of the store, not out by all of the other fabric. I just bought 2 yards and cut it into rectangles and use them on his bassinet and changing pad. It is soooo much easier to change these!
