Can you swaddle the baby when in this sleeper? Is it possible to do so when in this sleeper?

There is no way the baby will wriggle out of this when swaddled. The way they are reclined in the sleeper it's just not possible to do. Our 3 months old sleeps the best when swaddled in her Rock n Play sleeper! It's the best!

I know you are not supposed to, but I always used the toddler side because my baby slept better on the softer side. Technically, you are supposed to wait until they are a year old, but you really just have to do what works best for your family.

I liked using the napper outside of the pack n play and laying it on the sofa or bed as a soft place for baby to lay down on. I like the shade on it too to keep the light out of it's eyes. We did not use it as an overnight sleeper, because we were not sure it was good for the baby to not be on firm bedding, so we did not take the chance. The higher sleeping area is where he first slept. The baby will not sleep overnight anyways.

You do have to lift the baby from the co-sleeper but you don't have to fully sit up to do it. The mattress is a tad lower than the bed mattress. There is a bar/ cosleeper "wall" that keeps the baby from rolling into the crack between the mattresses. You cannot slide the baby necessarily... you can put the baby in your hands and slide onto bed but I wouldn't want to bump the head/back on the bar. It's really not hard.

Yes, you clip it to the diaper. I don't put my Baby in a onesie to sleep, just a gown or zip up sleeper, so it's not bad. Even when he was a newborn and swaddled though it was fine. The only problem is when they get to be a few months old and move around more it can come off and the alarm will go off. That's just starting to happen at our house. If you have too many layers over I when that happens it could be a bit bothersome. I still think it would be worth it though.

There isn't an actual bassinet that comes with it. I may have called it the wrong thing... The mat sits up higher in a netting with support bars underneath. I chose this one without the bassinet feature because little ones outgrow it so quickly that I thought it wasn't worth the extra cost. I have a two month old & I swaddle her using a blanket, wombie, or Velcro swaddler and she does just fine. I also use a small cradle at night upstairs. My little one is over 11 lbs and in the 97th percentile for height. We have room for a crib, but we choose not to use one yet.

I did love this sleeper. My little guy was able to stay next to me an extra 2 months because of its large size, weight limit and high sides. My suggestion would be to purchase an extra sheet.

yes, you could do that. This is absolutely perfect for co-sleeping and nursing

During hotter days I would just put a diaper on my baby with the suit, my baby really took to the suit and became a great sleeper. Good luck!

No way its too heavy. Plus in reality your kid will be out of the co sleeper so fast it'll make ur head spin! Unless ur baby is colic, at that age u will have no problem getting them to sleep and you won't need the gadgets quite so fast.

Yes, but not with a traditional blanket swaddle. We use the Swaddle Strap with this sleepwrap on our 5 month old. They work great together.

No. It was a temporary sleep arrangement. Once we transitioned to the crib (shortly before baby was too big for this anyways), we chose a firm mattress.

It is easy but sometimes gets stuck, so the answer to your question the baby will most likely wake up is the little one is a light sleeper. For my little one it's like a coin toss. Sometime just lifting the car seat out of the base of the car wakes her.

This is the only thing my daughter slept in for the first 4 months. She started getting too big for it, and too mobile, so I began with naps in the crib. It resulted in mostly unsuccessful naptimes at first, but once she started getting used to napping in the crib we made the transition to the crib at night. I also bought a sound machine (Marpac Sleepmate - best thing ever) and put her in a sleepsack, and after about a week or two I could put her to sleep in the crib without her waking up.

Your baby is heavier than mine, but it is a firm mattress and our son does not sink in it. If your baby is sinking and the mattress is the issue (assuming you've ruled out the crib based on your question), I would stop using the mattress immediately for safety. That is not normal, and you should be able to return the mattress.

No, you can not. Whether you have the baby on your back or in front they must be facing you. My baby still loves it.
