Anyone NOT use a bassinett?
Just curious. I don't have one and am wondering if I should even buy one...my Pack n Play has one attached, but I was thinking of trying to get the baby used to the crib right away. Also I have cats who sleep with us and I'm a little worried about the bassinett right next to me with the cats. If I lock the cats out of the bedroom they will howl all night long.
What did you do?

Re: Anyone NOT use a bassinett?
we didnt use a bassinett because we had twins. What we did was put one of their cribs in our room and they slept their until about 3 months. It was nice because they were close enough to get in a hurry, but it made the transition to their own room/crib much easier. Something to consider!

I don't have the room for one...so we didn't use it. Jared didn't seem to mind.

Re: Anyone NOT use a bassinett?
I didn't get one and I wasn't going to buy one but then my DH's cousin gave us a hand me down bassinett. Well, Jake absolutely HATES it. Will not sleep in it. Much prefers his carseat or swing!  He is now getting used to his crib little by little too.
So, I'm so glad we didn't spend any money on one, it would have been a total waste in our case.

Good to know...thanks! I don't want to waste $$ on one either..so I guess I'll just see how it goes.

Nope. We used the pack n play bassinet for the first two weeks and after one week we had him napping in his crib. Now he is sleeping like a champ in his crib.
He moved out of our room because my husband is a light sleeper and wasn't sleeping well with the baby doing its newborn grunts and whatnot.

Re: Anyone NOT use a bassinett?
We have the arm's reach co-sleeper in our bedroom. I don't really consider it a bassinet bc we can use it as a play pen later by taking out the higher level. It's great bc I don't have to get up in the middle of the night.
If I'm downstairs he'll nap in the pack n play in the living room or if I feel like it I'll take him up to the crib in his bedroom.

Re: Anyone NOT use a bassinett?
No I felt that it was a waste. They grow SO fast and before you can blink they don't even fit in them anymore.
We had more then enough room in our bedroom for his crib and thats where he slept. I wanted him to get used to sleeping in it right away.

We got a cradle as a gift so we used that for about 2 months... But honestly I would have just used the crib.

Re: Anyone NOT use a bassinett?
She didn't sleep well in and we didn't sleep well with her in the room, she was in her crib within 3 weeks. IMO with ours (it was a hand me down) the mattress is so much thinner than a crib one, that she really didn't sleep well.

We used a co-sleeper for a couple of months, then our little guy went into his crib in his room.

Re: Anyone NOT use a bassinett?
Emily used hers for the first four weeks. She outgrew it. It just wasn't long or wide enough for her. We switched her to the pack and play bassinett and she LOVED that! I received one as a gift, I wouldn't have gone out and bought one.
