Bedside Bassinet ??

Question

I’m considering getting a bedside bassinet (the the that lets down on one side). What are the pros & cons ?? They seem like they’re convenient but I’d hate to waste my money.

Answer

I have this co-sleeper bassinet which has been a life saver for me. I have a regular bassinet but my girl wouldn't sleep in it at all, she didn't like not being able to see us so I ended up having to sleep with her in bed until I got this bassinet delivered. Since I've had this she has slept in it every night, it has tons of storage pockets for diapers and wipes or whatever you may need, she's able to see me and feels like she's in bed with me, if she cries it's easy for me to reach over and comfort her or feed and change her without having to get in and out of bed while being half asleep, the flap coming down is optional so if you wanted to use it as a regular bassinet as well you could, has straps to anchor it to the bed, very sturdy and easy to assemble and it has adjustable height. It's probably the most useful thing I've gotten so far and I'll definitely be keeping it for our next baby as well.

Answer

I have an Arms Reach Co Sleeper that I paid $80 for at consignment. It’s very sturdy, a reputable brand, and I plan to have her in there until she outgrows it. It’s much sturdier than some of the other bassinets friends and family have had.

Answer

Mine has been empty for 3 babies as they won’t stay asleep in there. So for me it was a waste of money. I just ended up using the crib.

Answer

I’m getting a hand me down one from my sister to try, but I plan on crib for naps and then at night at 8 weeks so i didn’t want to waste the money if I’m not really gonna use it
