Fisher-Price Deluxe Rock n' Play Lightweight Plush Sleeper, My Little Sweetie

 (61 customer reviews)

I am currently expecting my second child after a long hiatus after my first. The first time around, I can tell you, I bought every baby item there was. This was pre-recession and money flowed a lot more freely -- plus, all that mommy guilt --> Don't you want the best for your child? So, I got the fancy bassinet, the Mini Co-Sleeper, baby bouncer, baby swing, crib, vibrating chair, the works.... Well, a lot has changed since then. As my daughter got older, I realized which stuff was essential and which things were fodder or luxury items that I shouldn't have bought (hint: you can't always tell by the price).

As first time parents, I think the biggest thing going into those first few nights is to realize that you're going to want to do everything you can to keep you baby safe and you sane.

We bought this after reading many reviews about a flat head related to the regular rock n play. Our little one has reflux & needs to sleep elevated. I love that it is easy to move around the house, it rocks and is really nice and plush. I added another blanket under the padding to change the arch of babies head when in it. We use it at night & it is the perfect height for right next to the bed. We didn't buy until 6 weeks old & with a small newborn I am not sure she would have been big enough right away. There is a harness that I don't use anymore because it wakes baby up when I have to fish around for it & loudly snap it. It has a deep scooped shape, so until she can sit herself up that much- no need for buckle now. Although it did keep her from ending up sideways early on (she is petite).
