He's 6 months. We will probably go at least 3 more months in our room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948836 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 18:19:17 +0000 kjpugs 948836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the advice everyone! I was worried that it was stupid to assume I could use it longer and to just move the crib in there. But I think we'll have to be flexible any way, but for the first few months at least it should be fine... phew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948646 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:35:24 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 948646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could only use the top section for the first couple of months. After that both my kids started kicking in their sleep, which made the basket part shake and then wake them up. :/ So we had to move to the bottom section which for me is more of a PITA than the crib because you have to lean down all the way. That said, I know plenty of people who used the PNP much longer than us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948641 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:30:16 +0000 wheres_c 948641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could only use the bassinet portion for about 2 months before it felt unsafe.<br /> After that, he jus seemed a lot more comfy in his crib, but we will occasionally use the PNP on the low setting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948363 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 13:05:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 948363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He slept in it for 4w next t our bed. Then he moved into his own room. He was so tiny, he could have stayed in there a lot longer.<br /> We had him in the bassinet portion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948314 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:41:23 +0000 MamaMoose 948314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She definitely will not be able to stay in the top part until a year. Once she can sit up and/or get on all fours it's not safe any more. If you plan to have her in your room for a full year I'd just put the crib in there. That being said, remember things don't always work out how you expect them too. We learned around four months that all three of sleep infinitely better with baby in her own room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948311 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:36:29 +0000 beachbee 948311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the exact pnp you will be using. LO slept the bassinet part next to our bed until 7 months, but she's very tiny for her age. The instructions say the weight limit for the bassinet is 15 lbs, which she reached at about 7 1/2 minths. She is 9 months now and still in the same spot in our room, we just took off the bassinet part. We don't have a plan to move her to a crib anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948307 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:35:23 +0000 LittleFox 948307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is almost 7 months and still sleeps in the PnP. The bassinet portion has a weight limit, which he hit at 4.5 or 5 months. He now sleeps in the bottom part. It took a little getting used to reaching so far down for him, but I adjusted pretty quickly. He didn't need to adjust because it's the same mattress. I have no complaints. It's very convenient when we travel because he's already used to it as a bed, so the different environment has less of an effect on him. Some don't like the mattress, but preference for a cushy mattress is learned and our guy seems comfortable on it. It's also safer to have a firmer surface. We're planning to keep this configuration until at least a year, as we're in a small 1 bedroom apartment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948304 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:34:04 +0000 autumnlove 948304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first LO slept in there for 4.5 months. My second LO has been sleeping in the same PnP for almost 3 months. I think the weight restriction is 15 lbs before you lower the mattress to the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948291 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:25:16 +0000 aprk 948291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a breeze playard, and A slept in the top bassinet until about 12 weeks, and now sleeps in the main bottom part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948234 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:53:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 948234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know people whose LOs have slept in the PnP for over a year. Like everyone else said you will just have to move it down once she can sit up and try to get herself out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948140 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:45:56 +0000 LazyLightning 948140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 hours the first stretch, 2-3 hours the second stretch. We retired the pack n play at 7 weeks because she was keeping me awake making little noises, now she sleeps in her room and we use a monitor. We do bring it to grandma's house with us, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948105 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:24:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 948105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M slept in the pnp in our room for 4 months and then while we were moving for another month at 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948104 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:24:32 +0000 ALV91711 948104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a Pnp in our room. At 4 months we had to recently stop using the bassinet part as he is too heavy for it. </p> <p>There is a weight restriction but also you would stop using the top once they can start pulling up or sitting up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948097 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:21:12 +0000 runsyellowlites 948097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once your lo can get on hands &amp; knees or can sit up the bassinet portion is no longer safe (the sides just come up high enough). They could definitely still sleep in the regular portion of the PNP though! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948092 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:18:02 +0000 skibobrown 948092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 4 months in the PNP in our room. After that we transitioned her to a crib in her own room. That timing worked out really well for us, since she was a good independent sleeper by then. At 15 months we still have her sleep in a PNP on trips, so she definitely still fits in it and could have slept in it exclusively until 1 year. It doesn't seem as comfortable to me though as her crib, which is one reason why I'm happier she sleeps mostly in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948090 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:17:53 +0000 Ginabean3 948090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 20 weeks and still sleeps in the bassinet part of the PNP in our room. I think she would only move to the bottom if she got too heavy for the top.....but at that point I think we will just move her to the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-who-sleep-in-pnps#post-948084 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:15:38 +0000 kjpugs 948084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I got a pack n play for baby. Our master is full across the house and we both do not feel comfortable with baby sleeping there right away. Well after more talk, we're thinking we want her in our room for at least a year.</p> <p>How long did your baby sleep (nighttime sleep- we may do naps in the crib in her nursery) in a PNP? We got the graco one, that has the bassinet top (see picture) - can she sleep on that top bassinet part until she's 1? Will she eventually need to move to sleeping on the bottom? Should we just suck it up and fit the crib in our room?</p> <p>Trying to decide what configuration works best for us is such a pain!!!!! I'd love to hear what you all did/do. </p> [attach=2870/13/mq8qe2.333x342.Screen-shot-2013-07-20-at-11.13.23-AM.png]
