We were given a Bassinette for DD1. It has done 2 of my cousins and my niece and someone else who had it before my Aunty got it. It is in the bedroom waiting for this little one now. If you have 2 children fairly close together (say about 2 years) The bassinette will come in handy for the early months while the older child still needs the cot. We are almost ready to start putting DD2 onto a matress on the floor, but we dont want her to think the baby is stealing her cot so the bassinette gives that gap for her to realise that she is a big girl now IYKWIM.
We have a wooden cradle bassinette and it was great with DD. I would move her around the house with me while she slept. She would sleep in our room at night and in the lounge during the day.
After DD I lent it to a friend and then we got it back for our next bub. DD used it for about 5 months and this one will probably do the same. We will probably sell it on eBay after this one.
