It just seems so young for him to outgrow it, but I guess I have a chunky little guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outgrowing-pack-n-play-bassinet#post-641013 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:21:31 +0000 LittleFox 641013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 years? Wow! I guess it can work out. I wonder if I should look into a better mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outgrowing-pack-n-play-bassinet#post-641012 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:21:06 +0000 mrsjyw 641012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we moved the mattress up to the top level and used that before we moved him to his crib </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outgrowing-pack-n-play-bassinet#post-640994 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:16:10 +0000 autumnlove 640994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO slept it it for 4.5 months before we switched to a crib. My coworker moved the PNP mattress to the bottom and his daughter slept in it for 2 years before moving to a twin bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outgrowing-pack-n-play-bassinet#post-640986 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:14:08 +0000 LittleFox 640986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To those who used a pack n play with your LO but didn't have a crib, what did you do once they outgrew the bassinet? LO will be 3 months soon and he is almost too big for the weight limit on the bassinet. I love having him in there because I put it right next to my bed and I can easily grab him when he needs to eat. We have a small apartment and no crib, but I'm nervous about leaving him overnight in the bottom pnp level. It's so far down I think I will have difficulty reaching, especially during those groggy late night feeds. Did anyone leave their LO in the pnp long term? How did you like it? Would you have/did you prefer getting a crib? I'm trying to decide if it will work just using the pnp. </p>
