Basinette or Cot Foam Insert Snuggle Bed Thingy?? Opinions Please!

Hi there!

Any opinons out there on the pros and cons of a basinette vs one of those snuggle bed things..(sorry not sure what they are exactly called) but basically the small foam insert you can put in to the cot when baby is really small newborn and a cot is too "big".

One friend said she swears by the snuggle bed thing cause when it came to taking her first bub from basinette to cot - it took ages for bub to get used to the cot...she said that with the snuggle bed in the cot all the familiar smells etc..are there and it was less traumatic so to speak...
We are not thinking that bub will be in our room anyway so what is the general concensus out there.

We can borrown a basinette so cost etc is not the issue it is really about what works??

TIA

We used a bassinette and then straight into the cot and had no issues. I just made sure before we moved him that we had a couple of days where all playtime was in his bedroom so he got familiar with his bedroom.

The snuggle beds are probably a good idea if you plan to breastfeed and co-sleep. Personally though if you weren't going to use them to co-sleep I wouldn't waste the money if you can borrow a bassinette.
