My tip would be to buy one you can get a mattress for to make it more comfortable so be careful of the size. I have 1 I bought from Argos that fits a normal travel cot mattress but another I got from a charity shop cheap for my dads and it’s a weird size and there is a small gap at one end of the mattress which isn’t ideal (not used it yet but I plan to fill the gap somehow under the covers) x

I agree! I got one and never used it as so hard and uncomfortable. If you were to use a lot a next to me crib is good as we used it on trips to see family as it easily comes apart and goes into a bag x

Love my next 2 me, never had to remove it from the bed as we’ve never had a night away anywhere (dad lives on the same estate 😂) She’s still in it at 6 1/2 months in with us, I can’t bear to chuck her out of our room yet whilst she still has a single night feed as she usually doesn’t cry but rolls around thumb sucking and wakes up so I catch her early enough for her to go back down easily, I’m sure if I left her she would eventually cry but my husband works and I can’t bring myself to do it 😬 It’s also a god send when she is reacting to prescription milks or we think coconut now too 🙄 saves getting up every 5mins when she is unsettled so selfishly it’s great for me too!

It is such a good little bed. I wish we had got it to start with instead of a Moses basket. We moved our LG our at 6 months as we were waking each other up plus she just loved to roll around at night but would of loved to have kept her for longer. Maybe next time I should chuck hubby out 😂 x

Totally understand... the Moses basket was such a waste of money... lil man was out of it after 4 weeks... xx

I must be the only one just giving up on the Moses basket downstairs 😂 my late mum quilted the inside but she now fills it so this week she’s done some naps in the basket and some in her big girls cot bed to get her used to it. I think I’ve learnt to sleep through most of her rolls etc and just seem to know when she needs feeding 🤷‍♀️ She seems to be able to sleep through my husband coming to bed later and through his morning phone alarm, we do play white noise but you can still hear stuff and it’s never really settled her anyway, just use it more of a sleep cue 😊 Hoping she’ll continue to be a great night time sleeper, she’s more of a catnapper during the day and fights it 😬 x
