My friend has a lotus bassinet and its pretty cool- I like that is rocks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558640 Sat, 28 May 2016 12:26:05 +0000 auggiefrog 2558640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Halo Bassinest. I wouldn't have bought it had I not found a good price on it. We we're going to purchase the Arms reach cosleeper, but i found the swivel sleeper for the same price. I love it. We don't have a lot of extra room, and I like that it moves around easily to accommodate our space. It's easy to grab him in the middle of the night when he starts to get fussy, and I like that he is right next to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558636 Sat, 28 May 2016 12:08:33 +0000 LindsayLou 2558636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a pack n play with the removable napper/changer. I didn't get an actual bassinet because my husband was adamant that baby would sleep in her crib. Well, day 1, baby slept in the napper by our bed. I know they aren't designed for nighttime sleep, but I felt it was safe and she slept like a dream in it for nearly 4 months, until we switched her to her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558618 Sat, 28 May 2016 11:21:23 +0000 pachamama 2558618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the Chicco portable bassinet. We're very happy with it. Baby has been sleeping in it since he was 4 weeks old! I think it will help with the crib transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558616 Sat, 28 May 2016 11:17:36 +0000 Beth24 2558616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had a hard time laying down flat so we used the bassinet on the pack n play since it was at a slight incline. She loved the rock n play and slept so well in that! Was a pretty easy transition to the crib after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558606 Sat, 28 May 2016 10:40:58 +0000 Mrsbells 2558606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! keep the responses coming </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558601 Sat, 28 May 2016 10:15:50 +0000 GreenThumb 2558601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just used the bassinet attachment for the pack n play in our room for LO1 until she moved into her crib and will do the same for LO2. We also never BF while laying in bed, so it was nice to have her close, but we didn't need a side car type set up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558600 Sat, 28 May 2016 09:56:57 +0000 Alba4 2558600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For #1 we used the Arm's Reach Cosleeper.<br /> For #2 we are using a Pack n Play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558585 Sat, 28 May 2016 08:51:34 +0000 EBSC 2558585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the bassinest. I really liked the mesh sides to see him (and when he liked to be next to the sides, for breathing) and the fact that it was bed height. We never nursed in bed, so the cosleeper wasn't ideal, but I liked having him so near for the first few months. We transitioned out at 3.5mo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558583 Sat, 28 May 2016 08:40:34 +0000 yoursilverlining 2558583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this one from Serena and Lily. It was my splurge item, I love it so much! It was a fantastic basinet (easy to carry baby too with the handles) and now it doubles as toy storage. </p> [attach=1754/16/o7w3bm.337x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558571 Sat, 28 May 2016 07:49:46 +0000 YogiRunner 2558571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like my arms reach cosleeper. I can easily check on him and put a hand on him to help him back to sleep, and grab him for MOTN feeding sessions. Plus the mesh sides make it a safe option. I use the rnp for daytime naps and recently at night to help his stuffy nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558528 Sat, 28 May 2016 05:50:39 +0000 erinbaderin 2558528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first son we used the Uppababy bassinet. With my second I got the Halo Bassinest. At first he wouldn't sleep in it, we used the newborn napper from the playpen inside it to make him feel more snuggly. Right now we've graduated to having him in the bassinet with a rolled up towel on either side of him - trying to wean him off the cozy feeling. I like the Bassinest but I don't know if it's really worth the money. I like having it swing in and out and at the same height of the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558481 Fri, 27 May 2016 21:40:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2558481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time around we went straight to the rock and play then crib. This time I planned to use the bassinet from our Uppababy vista but she hated it- rock and play again. Now she sleeps in the bassinet attachment of the graco travel lite crib, which is great because it's smaller than a regular pack and play and we are really really tight on space (like she sleeps in the master bathroom right now). It was a hand me down. If I was buying new and had more space I would do the regular pack and play since she will outgrow the travel lit crib before a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558454 Fri, 27 May 2016 20:40:48 +0000 avivoca 2558454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a Moses basket but H hated it, so I sold it. This time around, I will probably just use the Pack-n-Play with the bassinet attachment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558443 Fri, 27 May 2016 20:29:20 +0000 Mrs. D 2558443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was a hand me down, so I don't remember. All that matters is that it holds the baby, right? We could have used a box like in Finland! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558441 Fri, 27 May 2016 20:26:44 +0000 Raspberry 2558441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the bassinet from our Uppababy Vista for night sleep for about 6 weeks before transferring to a crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558436 Fri, 27 May 2016 20:20:50 +0000 Ms. RV 2558436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a true bassinet, but we got the Graco Travel Lite Crib. I liked how it had three levels of height (two in bassinet, one without). It was a good price, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bassinet-did-you-get#post-2558429 Fri, 27 May 2016 20:08:33 +0000 Mrsbells 2558429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For LO we didnt get a bassinet she slept in her crib right from the start but this time around I want to have a bassinet I think it will make the transition from hospital to home much smoother. I didnt realize there were so many types of bassinets, which did you go with and would you recommend it? </p>
