Jo...I put him in awake and just bounce it a couple of times till he goes to sleep.

Tan...It cost me $30 for one week, then it is around $130 - $140 for 6 months, but the $30 comes off that, so will only pay about $100. I used Hire for Baby in Wollongong. Mine didn't come with extra bedding, just the mattress and mattress cover. I use my own bassinette sheets that I already had.
