Sleeping/Naps downstairs

12 replies

What are everyone using for sleeping/nap's downstairs?
I think I used a moses basket for my little one that didn't last long for naps downstairs but he wasn't much of a fan and so he slept on me a lot of the time.
But with second baby I am going to have to have somewhere for baby to be put down..
Other than moses basket what else are you guys using?
We have a Next 2 me crib upstairs for our room.

Can you use the carrycot of the pushchair?

I'm going to be using the next to me crib upstairs and a proper old swinging crib downstairs infront of my French doors for sunlight. I've also got a joie swing and one of this baby bean bag things so I've got a few options

Snüzpod for upstairs.
Carrycot from our pram for downstairs

The theory: Carrycot from pram. You may feel more comfortable with it if it's one suitable for occasional overnight sleeping.

In practice? Refluxy baby who slept on me, sometimes in my arms, sometimes in a carrier.

We use the pram carrycot on the floor.

Excellent think we will use the carry cot.. Obviously all being well!.
Does anyone know if Moses basket sheets will fit on the bottom mattress?

NicoleNoPants · 21/01/2019 18:03

The sheets fit both! But like others have said mine mainly sleeps in my arms!

We've got this at the recommendation of a friend. Their DC is 1 now and still uses it for naps in the front room. We have space downstairs so it's no problem, but it is quite compact too which is great, not as big as a normal travel cot, and obviously we now have it for when we travel, too.

It's been discontinued by Graco now but this outlet store has it on eBay...

My carrycot to my pram says not suitable for sleeping, as the mattress isn't breathable or something! So may be worth checking that it's suitable for long naps.

I used a nest (the cheap purflow one) downstairs for the first six weeks. After that he wouldn’t settle downstairs so now he goes in his crib with the video monitor on.

Thanks all..We decided to just go with a Moses basket in the end as it will work better for us.

We used the pram carry cot for downstairs and the moses basket upstairs with our first. Plan on doing the same with our 2nd and the sheets fit both
