Pram as a bassinet?

[Kitt3n]

i guess i should add that she either slept in the bassinette, on our bed, on our lounge (its huge, not like a normal lounge.... big square) or in the sling........... lol and still does! But now she often sleeps in her cot quite happily during the day. We co sleep at night.

Ventilation wise, we have a little desk fan that we put on whenever she sleeps alone, not blowing on her but just air-rating the room - keep the air moving and makes it fresher in there. I read somewhere that this can help reduce the risk of SIDS.

DD slept in her Bug for 4 months, we only shifted her out then as when we got up in the morning her feet were up on the edge, she still had planty of room but we thought it best she go into a cot from there.

We also used one of the pads from her Angel Care Sound and Movement monitor in the pram as well

We fabulous as her bed could go eveywhere One of my friends is using hers at the moment for her newborn as well!

We have a Love n Care bassinet and stand, which is originally off the X-Trail Jogger pram. It's a hand-me-down from my sister which has been 'home' to at least 4 newborns that I know of and has been a fabulous bassinet. I didn't even know it was a pram bassinet until I googled it while writing this post!

We have actually bought the bassinet for our pram as well but there is no point spending money on another stand when the Love n Care is all set to go. If we didn't have the freebie though, we would definitely be using our pram bassinet.

I've just had a thought - I'm sure you can buy a stand for most of the pram bassinets or the market so surely they're designed to be safe for sleeping full time. Why else would they sell the stands as well??

I've read that too. Apparently it can help distribute the CO2 that can pool around their faces.

Us too! Very handy as DS could sleep in our room in his pram as we have a single bed in the nursery when my dad would come to stay.

Although i have brand new GORGEOUS cradle DS wont sleep in it, i dont think he feels secure, so i use the bassinette attachment of my babylove triactive jogger fo him to sleep in, i just popped it in the cradle, you can actually buy stands for the bassinette inserts so they are definatley safe to use.

Just letting you know we have a bassinette and DD has slept in it twice! Lucky we didnt buy it and it was lent to us. At night she sleeps most of the night in our bed.

DD loves her pram bassinette for day sleeps. It is great because she can be rocked to sleep in it and then can be wheeled into another room when she is asleep. It is also completely flat.
