We had one for our daughter and she slept really well in it from birth to 6 months. Can?t say what she would have been like without it as we bought it before she was born so always used it. I does give newborns that cuddly feeling though so I can see why it can help with sleep and our girl was an amazing sleeper.


I didn?t use it for cosleeping but have friends who did and thought it worked well for that though I don?t know if that?s strictly recommended!

Hi,


We used one and found it really great to put the baby down in different parts of the flat so it negated the need for USB?s to have a Moses basket etc too. It was also really helpful in providing a consistent sleep routine at grandparents, on holiday etc. It made co-sleeping safer too. I would definitely use it again if we had another!

There is a school of thought that they can be dangerous for suffocation if baby is unsupervised...


We decided against getting one straight away. If your baby can't sleep in anything else, then it would be worth it, but for the cost of them, it would be worth exhausting every other option before hand. If you don't have a moses basket, maybe see if you can pick on up for free of cheap on here first and try that, our little one sleeps like a log in hers

Hiya,


The one piece of advice I would go back and give myself if I could would be to wait and meet your little one before buying accessories like this. We got one before our little boy was born only to discover within days that he hated being confined in any way - hated being swaddled, hated being in a sling and hated the SleepyHead! He had to be able to wriggle around and throw his arms above his head at all times, he was always moving. Still is! Any way, there were lots of things like this that we got and never used. I?d limit the amount of ?stuff? until you know you need it.

Had a Sleepyhead for my son & was the best baby accessory I could have purchased. He slept in it every night until he was around 6months old, he hated his moses basket so Sleepyhead was essential. So nice to put the baby in the Sleepyhead in the bed with you too as I was a bit nervous about co-sleepibg but felt really comfortable with the sleepyhead. I don't know anyone whos baby hasn't like it.

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
