Before I start, I’m a single mom that got pregnant from rape. I was no where ready for a child but I decided to keep my baby. I fell in love with her and she is my rainbow in the storm. But because I wasn’t ready, I had no experience to be a mom. I wasn’t financially ready either but with help from family- I was ready.

So to start with my question- my daughter sleeps in a pack n play since I have no room for a crib yet. My daughter refuses to sleep now. I added a mattress (my daughters pediatrician said it was fine to add as long as it’s tight which it’s a very tight fit) also the mattress is firm. Even though my doctor said it’s fine I worry because a lot of other people on this app says it’s not okay and also the pack n play says don’t add a loose mattress to the pack n play.

But it’s not loose at all. My daughter is 3 months old. Any advice ? She slept one night in the pack n play and she slept wonderful. Other times with no mattress - she slept horrible. Please advice. Can I leave the mattress it
