With my 1st child (now 22 months), he slept in a Fisher-Price Rock N Play Sleeper for the 1st few months by my bed. I loved that it rocked, so when he stirred in the middle of the night I could normally just rock him back to sleep without ever getting out of bed. BUT this is when the recall came out about them having mold, and much to my disgust, his had mold under it despite my vigorous cleaning of all his things! I immediately threw it away.
Now that I am expecting baby #2 in a few weeks I am debating on what I need to get for him to sleep in. I liked the Rock N Play, but I am very wary of it with the possible mold issue... do you all have any other suggestions as to what he could sleep in the first few months until we are ready to move him to his own room? I have looked around online and see so many different possibilities, I don't know which to pick. I am open to any ideas (other than sleeping with us - which scares me to death).
What did your baby sleep in?
Thanks!!!
Re: What do your newborn babies sleep in?
But my DD2 sleeps in the RnP next to our bed at night. We'll start putting her in a crib once her room is completed and we actually buy a crib.
However, I'm pretty sure I'll be sleeping in my own bed. The rooms are not far at all.
I guess in our case space made the decision for us.
This. I used my RnP with DS extensively and am using it with this one for naps only ( we co sleep). In a few months well start her off for the night in her crib as well as naps in the crib.
Ds1 always napped on our bed and we had (still have for ds2 who uses it for about 2 hours a night) the bed attachment cosleeper thing.
Maybe look in to that? I don't remember what it's actually called lol
As a FTM I read that baby should sleep in your room until 6 months, so we got a Bily bassinet. So far so good. The bassinet also comes off the stand so I use that in the family room during the day. Hard to find bassinet with high enough weight capacity. This one holds up to 18lbs.
