Hello clever people.... I wondered if you could please tell me what you'd do. I, expecting my first baby in a couple of weeks, am trying to make sure I've got everything in, and have got myself confused. Ongoing pregnancy mega insomnia is not helping!
We live in a tall thin house over 3 floors, our bedroom is at the top. In there I have a Moses basket (used but with new mattress) and a cot bed (used but with new mattress, not assembled yet).
I also have (all used but is good order and washed):
An icandy cherry full travel system
A large travel cot
A graco soft carry cot (Quattro model) that was given to me
A vibrating bouncy chair that reclines to a flat position
A maxi cosi cabriofix car seat
I have a wee nursing chair / area set up on the top floor and know the first few days will be crazy ... I know I might spend a lot of time in my bedroom with baby, up on the top floor.
When I feel like spending the daytimes (or parts of days) downstairs and the baby needs to nap on the ground floor, what could I put her in? I initially thought soft carry cot, but now I realise it's more like a structured footmuff (it has solid sides and a soft cover that zips around) so maybe too warm to use indoors.
I have a bad back and really really don't want to carry the Moses basket up and down the stairs.
Could I put her down for daytime naps in any of the above ? Of course I will stay in the room with her.
Not sure what is safe/what the rules are/what I haven't thought of.... All I know is she needs to be flat, with me, and not overheat.....?
Thanks so much!
