If you are using a PnP as a bassinet

mrs.g_6708 · June 2010

are you using a snugglenest or anything else on top of the 'mattress?' I know baby mattresses are supposed to be firm, but the floor of this thing is as stiff as a board! Am I missing something? I was always under the impression that the PnP had an actual mattress...

I'm not using anything. Just the hard mattress. LOL...

My DD did fine without anything in the PnP so I didn't et anything else to go inside... I will get something though if DS seems to be uncomfortable

Just a sleep postioner

So do y'all have sheets to go over this mattress? I see now that the cover does not come off and is spot clean only. Yeah, I can see that working awesomely with the first diaper blowout.

They make sheets for them.

I'm going to put a waterproof mattress pad on first to prevent blow outs and protect the bassinet. Then I'm using these sheets on top; they are soft enough and not paper thin like ones specifically made for the Graco pnp. Also, I bought these quilted sheets and did not like them at all. They didn't fit snug and I felt it was a hazard b/c it was too puffy. Then finally I'm using a sheet saver on top of the sheet.

I know it probably sounds like a lot but I did a bit of research and this seems to be the best combination... And I'm doing the same for the crib.

All I am using is a sheet on the existing mattress. It's actually a pretty easy cleanup that way.

We're just using one of the sheets and nothing else. It really isn't too much different than a firm crib mattress.

nope just the hard mattress/bottom thingy

I put a blanket under DS but it didn't matter, he hated it anyway.

We're going with the quilted sheet followed by a sheet saver followed by a regular sheet followed by a sheet saver followed by a sleep positioner followed by LO.

Stick out tongue

haha np! I'm assuming you're using a Graco pnp? I have this one and it really helped to try the sheets/covers before taking the tags off. I had to return some b/c they didn't fit right... GL!

Yep, we have a Graco PnP in Little Wonders. I don't know why, but I thought there was like a miniature crib mattress in there with sheets and everything! Glad we set it up now and not any later! We measured and everything you suggested should fit so I ordered the pad and two sets of the sheets

Just using the "mattress" with a thin sheet over it. I have the Chicco and there are actual boards in the mattress to make it firm. I don't think it is that bad.
