pack n play

[acline93]

so I was looking at crib options, and my mom suggested a pack n play. so I did a little research and found that little to no people reported back problems in their children from letting them sleep in a pack n play, and there are also mattresses and sheets made specifically for a pack and play. What do you guys think? I'm a little hard pressed for money, and of course I would get a crib later on, but would a pack and play be okay for the first few months?

Im going to get a play pen or pack and play for when the baby comes our zellars are closing and there is one with a bassinet on for $50 so my mom said she would buy it for us. Than when it gets a bit bigger we are going t get a crib walmart has nice one that change to a todler bed with railings than a day bed and it is $150 regular price lol

I know this one woman who let her daughter sleep in her pack and play from birth until 18 months, and now she's having a hard time getting her into her toddler bed because the little girl loves the pack and play soooo much.

I really think I'm going to go with the pack and play option, just because it is so much more convenient, and it takes away having to buy an individual bassinet, and some also come with the changing table. Plus, I will be moving in with my baby's father shortly, so we will be hard pressed for space, as he already has a 5 year old and his house is only two bedrooms and it being so portable is sooo convenient! But I do believe I will get a mattress and sheets to go in the bottom of the pack and play, so my baby will have a little extra comfort and support.

Thank you all for your insight, once again you are ALL amazing! :)

I have a crib already and I'm getting a pack n play specifically for the first few months when the baby is in my room. They have ones with a bassinet and a changing table on top. They are super convenient. Plus when your baby gets older it's nice to have when you travel and stuff.  My two year old still sleeps in a pack n play when we go camping.

I said stay away from Craigslist cause my brother bought rims off it and the ended up not fitting so he put them back on Craigslist someone wanted to buy the rims set him up and ended up trying to run my brother over stating the rims were stolen and my brother had a bill of sale so he didn't steal them acquitted but th but the gentleman that guy tried to run my brother and beat up his girlfriend so that's why  I said stay away fro stay away from Craigslist. Plus you have the Craigslist killer

well in my case, I bought a phone that was completely locked out. whenever i went to get it activated at sprint, i was informed that the owner of the phone reported it stolen and so they took it and put it in the back of the store and contacted the owner of the phone. but the baby section probably isn't too bad. thankfully I am blessed enough to have a lot of people that have recently had boys, so I am already receiving tons of boy clothes and bottles and such. I got some brand new Dr. Brown glass bottles from my next door neighbor who said she didn't feel like learning to put it together lol

God is definitely good, even though I don't acknowledge him near enough!

I am scarred from craigslist from one bad experience lol I think I'll steer clear of that unless absolutely necessary. thanks though :)
