That is the plan for number three as well. I do admit that DS also slept in a bouncer....inside the cradle for about 3-4 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2330336 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 12:25:34 +0000 Mrs D 2330336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K slept in a bassinet...its the same bassinet all babies in our family have used for years (checked for safety concerns). It worked nice. We had a few nights with some congestion where I opted for the rnp so she was a bit elevated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2330328 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 12:20:45 +0000 stratosphere 2330328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes, we had the jolly jumper stand (for our UB Vista bassinet) and it worked well. It's very lightweight and the "rails" made it slide backward and forward very easily on our thick shag rug. I just kept the bassinet at an angle to the bed so I could push it away or pull it close on its "tracks", if that makes sense. </p> <p>Our bed is very high so the stand did not bring the bassinet up to the same height as the bed but that was fine. I could still lean over and scoop LO out of the bassinet easily enough (and I was a c-section mama). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329829 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 07:08:41 +0000 LulaBee 2329829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Arms reach mini cosleeper with my first, and we have that set up plus rock n play for this next one. I liked the cosleeper and didn't have it attached to my bed, so we used it like a portable bassinet, bringing to living room during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329823 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 06:58:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2329823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stratosphere: did you have the jolly jumper stand for the UB bassinet? T was easy enough to push away from the bed or pull it closer? I need to take measurements and see how high our bed is and see if the stand will be close enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329818 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 06:50:41 +0000 mrswin 2329818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Peg Pergro bassinet with the stand until she got too big for it around 4 months. After that she slept in the Lotus travel crib in our room for another month. We moved her to the crib in the nursery around 5 months when I went back to work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329812 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 06:46:40 +0000 Littlebit7 2329812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rock n play for maybe a month, then the arms reach mini cosleeper until 4 months. I still keep it in our room (LO is 6.5 months as a safe place to put her while I shower). And a place to store folded laundry until I get around to it. And a cat bed. Ha. The Rock and play was ok for the very early stages but it concerned me how scrunched up she would get especially when swaddled and I was a little paranoid about the flat head thing (which was a non issue) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329785 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 05:27:18 +0000 SweetiePie 2329785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Halo Bassinest. Loved it!<br /> But we only used it for 3 weeks, so I guess my experience is limited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329783 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 05:16:02 +0000 MsHangry 2329783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UB Vista bassinet. Sometimes on the floor, other times the whole stroller came in the room. He broke out of swaddling early and would wake himself up hitting the sides around 10 weeks so we moved him to the crib at that point. </p> <p>I was anticipating a whole "transition" but the first time he laid down he stretched way out and fell asleep. Too bad it didn't stay that easy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329763 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 03:30:48 +0000 wrkbrk 2329763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still got a few weeks but we bought a bassinet at buy buy baby and have it set up next to my side of the bed! I am thinking he will be in it for 4-8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329722 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 00:19:50 +0000 sapphire 2329722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bassinet with wheels. The portability was nice. My mom watched her a couple times at night to give me a break and we could wheel it into the nursery (where my mom slept) and it's be a familiar spot. We also were able to transition her by moving the bassinet further from the bed over time before moving her to her crib. We also would move her to one side of the bed or the other depending on who was going to deal with MOTN wake ups. I'm a very light sleeper so this helped me a lot. Oh yeah, and it could be rocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329718 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 00:00:09 +0000 birdofafeather 2329718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cosleeper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329705 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 23:18:41 +0000 Ginabean3 2329705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd1 she slept in a pack-n-play next to our bed.

It was ideal! We had it in a rocking bassinet stand that made it easy to pull right next to the bed or push further away to have room to get out of bed. It was great to be able to take her out for a stroll and back inside the house, all in her bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-in-a-bassinet-or-co-sleeper#post-2329619 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 21:09:53 +0000 PawPrints 2329619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Arm's reach co-sleeper mini and it was wonderful.

She slept in a bassinet for the first couple of months and then switched to a co-sleeper afterwards.
