We had DS in a bassinette for about 2 weeks and then he outgrew it, so went into the cot.
With this one, because DS is still in the cot, we are hiring a hammock and will put the baby in that. Some bubs don't actually like hammocks so we didn't want to spend too much money on something that might end up lying around the house not being used!!!!! We borrow our bassinette too, just because they aren't in it for that long, no sense in buying one!! (well, we don't think so cos we are cheapo's.. lol)
