Did you have a cradle for your baby?

[AliBaby]

I have seen some beautiful cradles for babies and just wondering how much use you got out of it. I would love to have the cradle in our bedroom to make feeding at night easier and a safe place for baby to sleep as DD is often on our bed.

How long was your baby in it?

TIA

We have the boori Matilda cradle. LOVE it. It's a horizontal gliding cradle so it's a really smooth rock and it non tip!
It's also quite large and can normally take a bub till about 6 months (so I am told) dd is in there now and she sleeps great. I'm finding it good for settling.

I have a King Parrot bassinet. It's not a cradle but as big as one. DD2 is still in it at 5.5 months, and I have no plans to stop using it unless she magically learns to sit up lol. She doesn't even roll yet so it's all good. I love it. I'm so not a frilly bassinet person so it suits me, plus the kids love that they can see her or get her out in DD1s case.

we use a moses basket and love it. Can't wait to dust it off for this bub again!

I only had one for dd3. I brought it second hand because everyone made me feel bad for wanting one after I'd made do for three other bubs.

I got a boori one that matched my cot. I loved it and used it heaps. It was large so dd spent a long time in it

We got a hammock instead. One of the best baby buys I made.

I had an arms reach co-sleeper. If you want a good nights sleep that's the way to go.

We love our king parrot bassinet that was next to our bed for 8mths until she grew too big. It was sad when she grew out of it!!

Both my boys were in the same one for about 6 months. I think Buster could've stayed in it much longer but the cot was available so we put that in our room instead.

We have an amby hammock, and it is awesome.

I borrowed one from a friend for our DD - she was in it for about 14 weeks then I t'fred her to her cot in her room.

This time I have purchased a second hand timber rocking craddle off eBAY for $60. I purchased a new mattress ($30), so I think it was a good buy. I'll pass it onto my sister or brother when they have kids.

I loved the craddle b/c I could wheel it to DD room during the day for day sleeps as her room was closest to the kitchen & lounge then wheel her down at night time to our room.
