Can you use this for a bassinet and let your baby sleep in this all night?

Yes. My child has slept beside my bed in this bassinet since he was born he is 3 months old and still sleeps in it. I like it because theres a mesh siding for if he turns his face and wiggles his way to the side he can still breath...Its worry free!

I did. I believe it's approved for all night sleep. It's great for babies with reflux because it sits them up. Similar to the Rock N Play but without the terrible reviews. We loved this and used it until she didn't fit anymore!!

You sure can. I had it right next to my bed. It takes up little space. I like the fact that it has a slight incline so the baby is not completely flat.

Personally I would not. I believe it would be too high on the bassinet top and become a safety issue. It works much better after the bassinet has been removed and the baby has moved into the toddler portion size for the playard.

This works perfectly as a bassinet, the interior is more soft than it is fluffy, but can also be removed. I used this Rock 'n Play, with all of the interior, every single night those first few weeks when my son was born. Kept him right next to the bed which worked great until I decided on an in-bed co-sleeper instead. However, I'm still so thankful to use this for his naps. :)

I don't think so. I wouldn't use it as a bed. You should use a bassinet. My baby won't sleep in the swing for over an hour or two. We use a pack and play that has a bassinet attached. She sleeps in that for up to four to five hours.

Hi John,We sure do use it all the time as a full time bassinet! We do put a cozey blanket inside it so that it's a bit more comfortable - which means we don't personally use the strapping in mechanism - yet - because the blanket is on top of it. I bring the rocker everywhere I go in the house. He's either in the rocker, in my arms, or in my arms in bed - that is really the only place I lay him down when he's not in my arms. I hope this answers your question? :-)

Absolutely! The bassinet portion detaches from the base and is curved on the bottom so when you set it on the floor you can rock your little one. When we used ours for overnight sleeping we did take the hood off, but it works fine with it on too. There are also cloth straps that tuck into zippers on the outsides of the bassinet so once you take baby out you can pick it up easily.

Yes. I made some cotton flannel covers for it that are like a pillow case, so the mattress slips into them. It adds an extra bit of warmth to the mattress. This bassinet mattress is very good quality and has the necessary firmness comparable to a crib mattress for supporting a newborn baby's spine as it's developing.

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.

You can. Just keep in mind though that only half of the bassinet is then exposed. If your baby is able to roll over, he may roll under the changing station. It is recommended in the instructions to not use the changing table in this manner. Also, it is worth noting that the napper is rather difficult to take on and off, but the changing station is simple. You could remove it until you need it and just click it back into place.

Honestly I would not recommend this as a crib or playpen as I think I stated in my review. This is more like a bassinet to me. Once baby starts moving around or pulling up it's a wrap.

Yes! I've used it as my babies bassinet since she came home from the hospital. She will be 3 months next week. I plan on using it till she gets too big. She was a small baby so I'm not sure how well it would work if you had a large baby. I love it! Clean and simple. And chemical free!

The sheet is made for the mattress only. Do not use it on the top bassinet. It would be a danger to a newborn.

I don't think the mattress is firm enough for a new born baby to sleep on at night. I got this for travel and it works perfect but it is soft. I can fold the mattress in half its so soft.

The instructions say no specifically. However our baby sleeps in it during the day when we are present. She loves it.

That's exactly what I've been using it for. I just adjust his head every so often to make sure it's supported because since this is on an incline, his head can slump down a bit sometimes. However, since you're feeding every 3 hrs you have plenty of opportunity to reposition. It's the only thing my newborn will sleep in. He wouldn't use the flat co-sleeper bassinet/pack and play we bought--I think because it made his stomach hurt because he couldn't get his burps out flat on his back. This is one of the few incline sleepers. It's very easy to pack from room to room.

Yes it's perfect as co-sleeping next to you.. Love it just as good as good as bassinet if not better.

Hello Melissa, This is one of my best buys and highly recommend it for a changing table or an attachable bassinet to the new parents bed. I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed with this purchase...I hope this helps. Congratulations!!!Kindest Regards,Bella Imbriale
