Fisher Price Rock'n'Play as a bassinet?

I've been polling my friends about types of things I should be registering for with our first baby. 3 out of 4 of my friends said to get a Rock'n Play and that their babies actually slept in that at night for the first few months, although the doctors don't recommend it. I was a little worried that if he slept on an incline as an infant then he would have a hard time adjusting to the flat crib. It does seem silly to spend a lot of money on a bassinet if they will only use it for 3-5 months. Any thoughts on these things as an all-nighter solution?

    We had both. We got our bassinet second hand and I found a deal on the RnP for under $50 so it was justified (in my eyes ;) )

    My LO had no problem sleeping in the bassinet (which we kept right next to my bedside), but I know lots of people whos

    I'm trying to avoid the RnP, as it's not really recommended for sleeping.

    I found this that I'm goin

    I opted to get a pnp with a bassinet for sleeping in our room.  Unlike a bassinet, it has many uses later on too.  I didn't want to get a rnp because of the crib transition also.  I'm sure I may change my mind if my lo won't sleep but for n

    I love the rnp and wish we had had it for DS. She has bad reflux and it helps sleeping at anincline. She has also sttn (10+ hours) since 5 weeks. So she obviously likes it enough. Although they may not be related. I also love that it can fold up and ea

    My DD slept in the RNP until she was 4 months, she had reflux which is why we got it, it was a life saver.  I have never heard that it was not recommended for sleeping, I know A LOT of people whose babies slept in them, and her pedi knew she slept in

    We used the RNP for the first 3m and it was a life saver.  We didn't know until 4m but DD had silent reflux.  Transitioning her to the crib was a rough few nights, but most of that could have been attributed to her reflux that we weren't treatin

    I agree with a PP about avoiding the RNP. I like the idea of the 3-in-1 bassinet she posted from amazon and it's only $15 more than the RNP. We used a regular pack and play for LO when he was little before we transitioned him to a crib, but it comes in ha

    My LO slept in the RnP for the first 3 months at night and for most naps.  We had a co-sleeper borrowed from a friend but he did so well in the RnP we were afraid to try anything else.  I transitioned him to belly sleeping in the crib after he w
