She's 4 months now and sleeps in the big part of the pack n play, still in our bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808159 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 18:00:42 +0000 spaniellove 1808159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: We were using the bassinet from the Vista on a rocking base during the day, but now we're using the crib during the day (and transitioning to crib at night too). I feel like each baby has their own individual likes and dislikes, so if a friend has something that you can try before you buy it might be a good idea! Interestingly he's fine with the Mamaroo but hates the Babybjorn bouncer so there's just no guessing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808148 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 17:50:17 +0000 ladybee 1808148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: we used RNP and won't for our next. Transition was a pain! I want what @Aandmklover: posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808143 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 17:46:24 +0000 mlm2934 1808143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tea: I think he is same about not being a fan of motion!</p> <p>@daniellemybelle: he is already sleeping in crib at night from day one :) for some reason I feel bad sticking him in there in the day time lol</p> <p>@Aandmklover: I saw this and am very tempted! Just wonder how long he would fit in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808090 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 16:17:51 +0000 Aandmklover 1808090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this may be a good travel alternative for you and your LO. :happy: </p> [attach=1340/14/na40hs.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808089 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 16:17:06 +0000 daniellemybelle 1808089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say to try the crib! Save you the trouble of trying to transition. At that age we were all about the swing though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808085 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 16:08:46 +0000 Revel 1808085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO wouldn't sleep in the rock n play - we just used the pack n play, where she slept at night, or the swing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808078 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 15:52:57 +0000 Weagle 1808078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why not just go ahead and let him nap in the crib? Lots of parents have the opposite problem! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808037 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 15:00:10 +0000 Mrs. Tea 1808037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little one didn't like anything that rocked or swung. She was a crib and play mat baby. Worked well for us because she napped and slept at night in her crib from the get go which was our plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808016 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 14:33:51 +0000 HTownMom 1808016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Boppy Newborn Lounger until 8 weeks and LO loved it. She took naps, slept and chilled in that thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808013 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 14:31:24 +0000 LBee 1808013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LO, but check out the Graco little lounger (they sell at BRU) - same concept but no incline. My sister got it when she had the same problem.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gracobaby.com/products/pages/little-lounger-ardmore.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.gracobaby.com/products/pages/little-lounger-ardmore.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1808009 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 14:25:39 +0000 Dandelion 1808009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have an r&amp;p. M sleeps in pnp, bouncy, swing, crib, or laps for naps. He sleeps in his crib for most of them, now, and at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807998 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 14:10:04 +0000 avivoca 1807998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a small travel swing that she would nap in. Even now at 10 months she will nap in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807951 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:23:54 +0000 Beebug 1807951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never owned one for both kids. Swing, bassinet, and crib (well and the bucket seat!) for naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807929 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:06:30 +0000 Mae 1807929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO did not like the RnP either. Early on we'd let her nap on us mostly. Then she went through a phase of napping in her bouncer or swing. Now she only will nap in her pack n play (with bassinet attachment) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807884 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 12:03:11 +0000 autumnlove 1807884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO 2 didn't like sleeping in it. She napped in the pnp or crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807874 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 11:51:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 1807874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO napped wherever - crib, pack n play, swing, ergo, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807873 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 11:51:11 +0000 swedishfish 1807873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO preferred napping in the swing but slept in the RnP at night for the first six weeks. I'm going to get a RnP bassinet this time around because I want the baby to be able to move his/her head more. We had issues with torticollis and slight plagiocephaly with R. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807872 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 11:47:31 +0000 rattles 1807872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never understood the rave reviews as our LO didn't like it either. She napped in her crib, on me or in a carrier at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807871 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 11:47:21 +0000 ellewoods84 1807871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The swing! My baby LOVES to take all her naps in the swing. She always has and still does at 14 weeks. I will be sad when she longer can fit in the swing. She takes some awesome naps in the swing. We have the snugamonkey. It is pretty great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-baby-not-like-rock-n-play-alternative#post-1807866 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 11:42:37 +0000 mlm2934 1807866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 4 weeks old, and I've finally decided I don't think he likes the rock n play. He sleeps pretty good in it for naps as long as he's absolutely asleep when we lay him down, otherwise he screams. He does much better on playmat, changing pad, and crib, so only difference I can figure is he doesn't like the incline of RnP??</p> <p>If your LO wasn't content in RnP what did you use as portable alternative for daytime naps? </p>
