rock and play vs bassinet/bouncer
This is my second child and in the past 7 years gear has changed so much. With my first he hated the bassinet and slept in bed with me but loved his bouncer and often slept in it during naps or even at night sometimes. Since this will be our last child and nothing was saved from the first we have been thrifty and buying a lot of used items and I have already bought a Eddie Bauer bassinet and the fisher price zen collection bouncer but recently discovered the rock and play sleeper online and have seen where a lot of my new mom friends love them and babies perfer them. I was wondering if it would be worth the time to search for one used or if it's the same thing as a bouncer/bassinet.

Re: rock and play vs bassinet/bouncer
No personal experience yet but the rock n play saved my sisters life! I stayed with her or a month to help out with her newborn and he sleeps very well in the RNP. I had recommended it to her based on TB, and she loves it!
Its reclined so really helps LO sleep better!
Every baby is different, but mine preferred the RNP over the bouncer. I would also do a swing though, it's our sanity saver!
