Is it dangerous for an infant to sleep in a pack n play?
NIKKI C asked:
I’m 5 months pregnant with #2…I don’t really want to shell out the money for another crib…my daughter uses it because it changes into a toddler bed. Is it dangerous for an infant to sleep in a pack n play at night? Assuming there’s nothing else in there with him, including blankets. My daughter’s bed is in my bedroom and I would like the pack n play right next to my bed as well…I just feel safer that way. I can’t find any studies that show it being safe or unsafe…..any opinions?

my nephew sleeps in a pack n play when my sister comes to town to visit. he’s been sleeping in one since his 1st visit to cali he was 5wks and he’s 8 months now i dont see the problem with it
For you will still need to the baby is gonna get her used to but assume that if the number baby is gonna get used to get used to the baby is gonna get her used to another bed when the number baby will be toddler wouldnt.
For you will be toddler wouldnt neeed another bed think its ok no problems but will still need to get her.
Its safe. Especially if you have one with the bassinet attachment. Then you can let your baby sleep in it up until about 15 pounds I believe. After that, you can take the top part out.
Just keep it clear of extra toys and blankets that they could end up choking, or suffocating on.
My little girl sleeps in her pack and play when shes not sleeping in my bed. And we haven’t had any problems.
our pack and play IS my baby’s bed. i too didnt want to buy a crib. he’s fine. he’s doesn’t care.
Get a bassinet. They are less expensive and you can keep it next to your bed. The pack n play may not be dangerous but it is not the best for their backs. This is something you really should shell out money for. There are also less expensive toddler beds. Buy a new toddler bed and bring the crib into your room.

They have pack and plays with a bassinet. That’s the purpose of the bassinet part. My daughter slept in a pack n play until she was about five months old. My son slept in the same pack n play for about the same amount of time!
For my son used it almost everyday and he is 10 months old now and he is 10 months old now and are totaly great because they are like pack and he is at the way down to also bought the baby check this helps.

The side of your bed if you can connect to lean all.
Is that like a porta-cot??? (portable baby cot/crib that folds up, rectangular shape?)
If it is then I don’t see why not. My sister had one for her third and not a proper crib. Mine have slept in them countless times when not at home without problems. However they can be very hard on their backs long term so I wouldn’t do it past a few months old.
However you didn’t mention how old your first child was but if she is 18mths – 2years old I would just get her a big girl bed or new toddler bed (i prefer normal sized bed with a bed guard/rail to save money later on) and put her in her own room. Then put the crib in your room for the baby. Eventually each will have to have their own bed so you may as well get the first a proper bed now and the baby gets the crib as it should. And eventually your first will have to sleep in her own room so I would make the adjustments now before the new baby comes. Why delay the enevitable???
Best of luck
It’s fine! I have a crib, a bassinet and a pack n play.. i trust the pack n play more than the crib!
My baby slept in the bassinet attachment up until he was 15 lbs (4 months). Its fine as long as you just have your baby in it (no plush animals or blankets). The bassinet on my pack n play gave strict instructions that it only hold a baby up to 15 lbs though. Good luck!
