Thread: Bassinet........

We had the same problem here in Korea and we ended up putting the cot (we call it a crib where I'm from) in our bedroom instead and it worked out just fine. If you have room, you could try that!

I can do that,yes,but you know,they are just so cute and small,that I would think that are quite comfy in the beginning you know?I will maybe have a shop around for a second hand one.I definitly want something in our room,as I don't think it will quite work out with baby in our bed.

I felt that way too, and we ended up buying a Korean bassinet but it just wasn't safe enough so we sent it back. I felt good about putting her in the crib though -- it seemed too big in a way at first, but she really didn't mind and it is an extremely safe choice.

I was worried about that.If it is safe to have baby sleep in the crib in the beginning.But I guess if the crib is in your room,you can always keep an eye over baby right?Maybe we should just go with that option,coz I see it a waste to spend too much on the bassinet and use it only a little while.But then what did you put in the crib bedding wise?

I didn't use any bedding except a fitted sheet and she was tightly swaddled. It really is safe to go without, especially for the first 6 months.

I guess that is what nothered me the most of putting baby in the crib in the beginning.One hears so manny horrible stories.Can't wait to get the baby room all ready!!!!!Df mother is buying the crib,can't wait!

Do you shop online?Maybe you can find a good deal online :)

The thing is that most places on line that sell bassinet are overseas,and it would be way to expensive to buy from overseas and pay the shipping costs.And i even checked on ebay.Most of them don't ship to south africa.

why would a crib not be safe in the early days? As long as the sheet is fitted and they are swaddled? The baby should not be moving around unless you have a very advance child so it should be fine. If you can get the baby movement monitor that will set your fears at ease. I know babies r us has it and it is worth every penny. If the baby stops breathing it sounds a loud alarm. It is very sensitive and works really well.
