co sleeper recomendation?

[hmt1979]

Hi there, we are expecting our second baby this Autumn and would like to consider co-sleeping this time around. Does anybody have any recomendations about which one to get? Thanks! X

Which what?

We used Arms reach and liked that it can be folded so we used it as a travel cot.

We have loved our BabyBay, still using it as a bed extension/souped up bed guard for my daughter who co-sleeps with us from 11pm-ish when we go to bed (16m).

I've got the baby nest, I'm really pleased with it, a great invention!

We had the baby nest too and I loved it. My little boy fitted in it until he was about 7/8m (and he was a sturdy baby!). Really transportable too so no need for a travel cot for a while.

We have the BabyBay like bluesuperted. Loving it so far (baby 2 up is now 3 months old). Very sturdy and looks like it will last us quite a while.

We used our normal cot with one side taken off. It is a standard mothercare cot. Now it is being used as a separate bed by our one year old.

Bed nest for us. Brilliant invention and worked really well, especially as it is height adjustable. Also, you can hire it rather than buying it, which may be of use if you don't plan on using it after this baby.

Bednest. You can raise it at one end if your baby has reflux or a cold.

I loved our borrowed bed nest, wish I'd used it from the start rather than after my daughter outgrew her Moses basket!

I've got the BabyBay and it was brilliant for my son as I had a c-section and he wasn't a great sleeper so having him close was the best thing ever for keeping sanity for everyone, he was in it happily for 6 months. I've been using it as a desk for the past 2 years and now expecting my second in January so it'll be back in use as a cot again from then. I bought it on ebay 2nd hand but they retain their value so as long as it's in good condition you can resell at pretty much what you bought it for. Definitely one of the best baby purchases I made. I had looked into the Bednest which is very lovely but even more sought after and expensive, it was going for over the new price on ebay which just seemed a bit ridiculous, and was always out of stock new when I was pregnant with my son so BabyBay was my second choice out f necessity and availability but honestly I don't think it would have been a different experience, Bednest maybe looks a bit prettier?? We used a wedge to lift one end of the cot when he was suffering from reflux issues.

A friend of mine has hired her Bednest for 6 months from NCT so that might be worth investigating.
