Newborn Sleeping Options for Daytime

[dannuh]

Hello,

My newborn (3 weeks old) currently sleeps in a Moses basket during the day, she's nearly 11lbs and is taller than the average 3 week old so she's out growing her Moses basket quickly!

I don't really want to put her in her cot during the day as I'm downstairs so my question is, is it okay for her to sleep in a bouncer type chair? I'm using a Hauck Sit n Relax currently - link below.

I found this "Hauck Sit 'n' Relax Multi-dots Highchair", while browsing the Argos Mobile app:

We ditched the Moses basket early with DS1 as he outgrew things quickly. He hated napping without being held so I held him for most naps. When he finally started napping on his own, he just went up into the cot.

I had no choice but to put DS2 up to nap in the cot from 6 weeks because he kept getting disturbed by his brother. I set up the baby monitor so I could keep watch on him.

No. Can you use your pram bassinet instead?

I had this problem as I had a large baby. He just sleeps on the sofa next to me now.

Pram? Ds was ok floor on a blanket as long as dog and ds1 away.

I used a bouncer for naps from around 8 weeks I think. When they're too young they're a bit too floppy to use the chair.

I'm the same as a previous PP, and just let the baby nap on me in the first couple of months.

What about a pop up travel cot in the corner ? They can be folded up when not in use and are fairly cheap to buy new. Moses baskets are such a waste of time and space imo

Thanks for the advice everyone, I will buy a small cot for downstairs to be safe.

Didn't think to use a travel cot, I actually have one already in the wardrobe from when my nieces stay over!

Perfect its good for keeping them contained and safe while you need to get on with doing things aswell
