really need something small and somewhat closed that my baby can sleep in in my office!

[girlsallaround]

any advice? a moses basket is too big and would really look silly in the office
its quiet and risk free in here (no chance of falling objects or people walking by)

Um - are you thinking that you will be able to work with a newborn?

i did with dd1 and dd2....why?

samonsite pop up travel cot?

you really taking a baby to work?

Filing cabinet drawer (a la Brittas Empire )

work with the baby in the office is a bit of a joke isn't it? let's be honest here - not much work is going to get done is it?

am assuming it's your own business though. Can't imagine there's an employer in the country would allow an employee to bring baby into work and quite rightly so imo.

Oh well, hats off to you! None of mine was that sort of sleeper .

And DS2 and DS3 grew out of the moses basket very quickly, so I really don't know what smaller receptacle would be any use for more than a week or two.

Good luck, anyway!

How about keeping it in a drawer like the receptionist in the Brittas Empire?

If you have room for it - my DB and SIL had a lovely sort of hammock thing for DN when he was a baby which was great because you only had to give him a very little push to rock him to sleep - much easier than rocking to sleep in a pram.

my dh is my boss! he sits at the office across from mine. there are 2 other offices and four other people at desks in our area, and about 175 people in the company in total.

i brought dd1 and dd2 to work in their first few months as well and yes, i have to take things slower since its hard to type and breastfeed, and it takes time to change nappies etc, but otherwise, it was fine!!!

at no maternity leave though

I have to say I was never happier than on maternity leave

I tried this when my ds1 was 12w. Got a job working from home, Every time I settled down to do some work, he woke up. Kept this up for around a month and then finally gave in.

sixspot, thanks but i dont use the hammocks since i'm always wondering if they won't get used to the rocking to sleep.

thisismynewname i'm actually looking for practical advice

I am so impressed that you had two babies who didn't need rocking to sleep .

Ah well, all water under the bridge for me now, mine are 9, 7 and 4!

What about a carry cot?

So you want something 'office looking' that's for a baby I think thisismynewname's advice (without Brittas ref) is probably the closest you'll get.

Otherwise the samsonite pop-up thing. But I think they're about the same size as a moses basket.

What about a from birth pushchair? -too big?

presumably though if you've done it before you already had a solution for the other two?

Good point, wannabe.

What did you use for the other two??

a bigger office

x-post with wannabe

what about the cocoon from Phil and Ted's?

carry cot like this?

what was wromng with your previous solution

That Vertbaudet one is just the sort of thing I was thinking of.
