Do you put an underlay with a bassinet?

I went one step further than feeb, and had mattress protector, then toweling nappy, then sheet, then another toweling nappy.... but my DS was a spewer, so the nappies really saved me a lot of bother in the early days.

Thanks heaps guys ....

Where is the easiest and cheapest place to get a mattress protector from? Not feeling too much like trekking around at the moment.

Maybe Big W? I'm not 100% sure if they do bassinette sized ones though. If you're driving near Forest Hill I'll give you one

Awww thanks Trish thats so sweet
I might pop down to the local Kmart tomorrow. I know how ridiculous this sounds but anything further than FTG at the moment feels like the moon :Rofl:

I so know what you mean! My offer still stands though so if you can't get one, let me know

My bassinette just arrived this morning and I was having the same thoughts, lol. No idea which way the mattress is supposed to go.
I don't think I've seen bassinette sized matress protectors before so when you find one let me know where you got it Dee!!
Great tips in here guys! Will save me some hassles no doubt.

i use a small wool blanket that was from when i was a bub under a sheet with a terry toweling nappy under head
i dont like PVC stuff, especially in summer as bubs will sweat
