Yep I have one of those too.  I used it inside the cot with my first child, then bought the stand for it of trade me when baby #2 came along, and used it again for #3, and will use it with this one too!  I love that can be tilted one end to keep baby elevated when newborn, and that you can rock it.]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:42:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=747449&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#747449 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746441&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746441 Author: crafty1

We have the cariboo and had it in the cot. It was good as my baby had reflux and so you can raise one end up a bit which helps them sleep better. Also if you need to settle them you can rock it in the cot. Plus when you move them into the cot it is no big deal because they've already been staring at those bars for ages and so it's not a big change.   
We took it away with us lots too and just put in on a bed with pillows up around the sides so he thought they were up like normal. Babies that age can't roll so it was safe as houses and easy. ]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:43:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746441&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746441 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746366&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746366 Author: Tizzy

Great, thanks for your replies. Sounds like it may be a good idea then.

I ws originally going to put Lil straight in the cot, but she looked so tiny in it when she was a newborn! When I was still in the hospital I sent DH out to buy the bassinet
Farmers will have a sale Labour weekend and nursery furniture usually goes about 30% off (if you aren't due before then!)]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:11:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746340&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746340 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746313&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746313 Author: Mamma2N

We found the cot to be a little too spacious for a newborn.. and since we live in a small house there wasn't much room for a bassinet ]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:51:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746313&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746313 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746278&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746278 Author: Katep

We've got one too - we've just taken it out though, as during the middle of the night she liked scratching the sides

But, they are a great size, and like maysie said they fold down flat. We didn't have any issues with transferring to her cot either as it was all familiar. Highly recommend them! ]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:14:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746211&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746211 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746197&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746197 Author: maysie

ours is one but I never ended up using it in the cot, only on the stand. This was because I would have it in the lounge during the day (it was a cold winter!). But, if Lily had've stayed in it longer then we probably would have done that. And it all folds up totally flat - great for storing for the next one ]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:02:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=746197&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#746197 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=745428&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#745428 Author: sarahm

Has anyone used the bassinets you can get that you hang from the sides of a normal sized cot?

We only have a small room for the baby and was thinking about this option seeing as there have been a few comments on here about babies not always needing their bassinets for too long, so was really trying to kill two birds with one stone space wise (and probably $$ wise as well!).

Any comments appreciated!]]> Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:37:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28051&PID=745424&title=hang-over-cot-bassinets#745424
