Any advice for transitioning to the crib from the RNP Sleeper?

Unfortunately, I can't really answer your question. My nephew only ever stayed in this RNP sleeper when he was awake. We didn't let him sleep in it. Whenever it was time for him to sleep, we moved him to his bed. It's especially useful when the baby is awake and after a meal because you don't have to hold him and he can still interact with you (because he can see you from the RNP sleeper) and it's also useful that he is on an inclined surface which is necessary after the meal... Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

My baby likes to sleep on his stomach which is bad bad bad but that's how heSleeps or I put him on his side with a rolled blanket behind him and in front if him to keep him from rolling over. Also I don't use blankets I use the zip ep blankets that his arms go through;0)

We had a lot of trouble with that. I ended up putting her on her stomach finally. He has slept perfectly ever since. I know they advise against it, but it's the only way either of my kids would sleep in their cribs.

1) White noise 2) mattress topper for plushness 3) consistency. Use the crib for all datime naps during the transition period, use a white noise machine or a free app like relax and sleep, if needed, place a pillow under the mattress for a slight incline. Make the room soothing with ambient lighting at night...and a routine is key.

We have a Sorelle Verona crib and it works great with it. You will be to raise the bed up to the highest height to fold down the rail and you may need a bed skirt to hide the open bottom. Great product though.

Not sure what the napper is, but the changing table is a waterproof material and is therefore easy to clean up. The little bassinet for infant is a soft absorbent material so I believe it would be difficult to clean. The crib "mattress" for low down or half way up is semi-absorbent with a hard, stiff backing so you couldn't put it in the washing machine, but you could blot or wipe off. They sell "pack and play" sheets that will fit on the low down/half way up setup. Just search "pack and play sheet"

I have a convertable crib using toddler bed version now. So its still my crib matress but there is plenty of room to get it on, no struggle or tight fit just right. I measured the matress then checked the bedding info.

Telly, I agree, The one we bought only has two positions all the way up for newborns and all the way down for toddlers. We had a terrible time putting this thing up as the instructions confusing. However we like the crib very much and have gotten good use for it. P/S We fold it up and slide it under our bed till we need it.

It improves the comfort quite a bit but it does not make it as comfortable as a regular crib mattress. Our crib would not fit in our room though, so when we had our baby in our room for the first few months this made the pnp much nicer!

I just use regular crib sheet with ours and it has worked well. However, if you order the playpen direct from the guava family site and use this link to do so, you'll get a free crib sheet with your purchase. http://guavafamily.refr.cc/KJQJKMN:)

Any standard crib mattress will work (we used a Sealey orthopedic), but when you try to covert it to the toddler bed it requires a larger size mattress that is no longer made, and is impossible to find. I have looked all over the internet trying to find the mattress that this crib requires. I found one site that carried it, it was discontinued, and it had a list price over $200. As I listed in my other review, this a great crib until you want to use the convertible option.

You can't! I have been looking for 18 months for the conversion guard rail that goes with this crib. All I have found is that everyone has had the same issue. I guess most people just buy the mesh guard rail for a toddler bed, which is what I will end up doing. Seems like false advertising to me.

try the Storkcraft Beatrice Combo Tower Chest in Oak. although its not a dead on match, its pretty close and looks fantastic with the crib :) both myself and my husband are very happy with our selection! hope this helps!

No, get a lambskin blanket and put it under your crib sheet. Or lambskin rug they are fluffier

Only had to do that once in 10 months...remove mattress pad underneath. While i change sheets every week to keep them clean since babys face is on it and drools on it too. Definitely do save time and eorth the money

Hi Lynnie - We use a regular organic Aden and Anais crib sheet http://www.adenandanais.com/en-us/productlanding/1318/nursery/crib-sheets/organic/crib+sheets+organic.aspx. It should take all regular sizes. We LOVE this mattress by the way. It's perfectly firm, the baby loves it, and it's free of chemicals. Definitely worth the money in our opinion. I tell everyone I know about it :)

My daughter in-law has used this for approx a year. Eventually you'll need a crib when the child is older.

I have twins. I strongly recommend the Graco Snugride 30 Infant Carrier until they are at least six months. You will not want to wake sleeping babies when you get home! And the infant support on the Combi pushes small babies heads forward, which is not good for NICU babies. I speak from experience...I have twins, one was in NICU, and used to foster newborns. I have never had a baby under ten pounds that fit well in this. Three across would be hard to buckle, unless you can reach through the trunk or over the top from the front seat. The buckle pieces have to be overlapped to snap in together at the crotch. That being said, we love this seat for small spaces! My first born used this seat in our sports car for several years. Very light weight and convenient. Can be a pain to install rear facing, if you don't have a tether point. If you buy these, you will want to go to a car seat installation station (check with your hospital). Also, I'll warn you that your babies will likely outgrow these seats by height before they are old enough to use a booster. I ended up buying Britax Boulevards for mine. They have higher quality fabric that is way easier to wipe to clean (you do not want to have to remove the covers when they poop through their clothes or spit up). They also work fine for tiny babies, if you absolutely don't want to purchase infant carriers. Three across all rear facing, all forward facing, and any combination of rear/forward works fine with Britax in our GMC Terrain. Combis are slightly narrower and take up less front to back space, so if you're driving a tiny car, these are for you! If you have a retailer near you, most baby stores will let you take them to the car to try them out. I got a great deal on my Graco carriers at Kohls w/cashback and 30% off. Amazon does occasionally have great deals in the open box section, too. (My other must purchase items for multiples are an Ergobaby Backpack and Podee Feeding System) Congratulations! It will get easier around six months!
