sleeping in a bouncer?

Is it okay to let LO sleep in her bouncer at night? For some reason she sleeps in her bouncer in four hour stretches. Yay. But I dont know if we should just try and push her to sleep in the pnp. When she sleeps in the pnp she just cries and wants to be picked back up.

    We started letting DS sleep in his bouncer about a week ago. We went out of town and it was easier to let him sleep in the bouncer so we continued it when we got home. I still put him in the bassinet at least once each night so he doesn't get used to slee

  • My DD slept in her swing for three months due to reflux and colic- it was "whatever makes her sleep" for us. This time LO sleeps fine in his co-sleeper, but at my first pp OB appt my OB suggested putting LO in a bouncer or in his car seat next to me so
