Naps were in swing, now naps 90% in pnp. Mrs. Grizzly Bear on "Where do/did you have your newborn sleeping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-have-your-newborn-sleeping/page/2#post-535502 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:05:57 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 535502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ What Henry started out in was an Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper mini (it's a bassinet) that my aunt gave me, then after about two months we switched him to a cradle - something like this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/DaVinci-Chloe-Cradle-in-Espresso/dp/B00112AUVK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1359511385&sr=8-8&keywords=cradle" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/DaVinci-Chloe-Cradle-in-Espresso/dp/B00112AUVK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1359511385&sr=8-8&keywords=cradle</a> But a lot nicer from a family friend. It has stoppers on the rocking part of the cradle that can keep it stationary so young one doesn't rock the crib too much by themselves. That worked for us until he was six months and was big enough to really test those stoppers with his constant rolling motion. So we upgraded him to a crib. We'll probably do the same thing with this next one - bassinet, cradle, crib.

Hope not! I'll have to tackle moving her to the crib next week maybe. She'll be a month old. But she's still waking up several times a night so the RnP is just convenient versus trekking to her crib. And if she stirs, I can reach over and rock her a few times from my bed ... can't do that with a crib, sigh!

Or a PnP mattress that is much harder?

At night - a bassinet in our room. yin on "Where do/did you have your newborn sleeping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-have-your-newborn-sleeping#post-534178 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:20:54 +0000 yin 534178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had our LO in a Pack 'n Play initially and transitioned to his crib after 2 weeks. rachiecakes on "Where do/did you have your newborn sleeping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-have-your-newborn-sleeping#post-533860 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:50:14 +0000 rachiecakes 533860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @JoJoGirl: I remember asking the nurse in the hospital about this and she said that because of the "back to sleep", some babies are on their backs for too long a time and it flattens their growing skull bones. I can definitely say that DS was never laying flat or in anything for too long at a time. There was LOTS of nursing, rocking, tummy time, naps in crib, moses basket, swing in, etc. in addition to the RnP. He never had the chance to always be in one place for too long and didn't sleep in more than 4-5 hour stretches until he was 9 months.

Then a bassinet for the next 4 weeks and after that, we moved him to his crib at night. I went into his nursery to nurse him when I was nursing him anyway, so it just made sense for us to move him there to sleep. pl0508 on "Where do/did you have your newborn sleeping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-have-your-newborn-sleeping#post-533830 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:37:35 +0000 pl0508 533830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ RNP next to our bed!

We had her in her crib originally... But she's been having a lot of issues with acid reflux so the crib wasn't working any more. She usually does one 8 hour stretch in there, eats and then goes down for another couple of hours. We have had no issues. The sides are soft so they really don't put pressure on her head.

We both slept sooo much better after doing that! We moved her to her crib at around 14 weeks old. yellowbird on "Where do/did you have your newborn sleeping?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-have-your-newborn-sleeping#post-533359 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:47:20 +0000 yellowbird 533359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Crib in her room.

Something about it changing the shape of their skull? I see stuff on Amazon reviews about it but on HB nobody seems to have had issues. We registered for one regardless but the lady scared me away from putting LO in there to sleep.

But that's where I laid him down to sleep at night until he started to pull himself up.

(I know I know shame on me) He then got moved to PnP and bassinet. We travelled a lot when DS was little bitty. He recently moved to the crib because he was getting too big for his bassinet.
