Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not - but for those of you have used a Safe T Sleep, did you use it from the moment you brought bubs home from hospital (ie in a basinett) or did you wait until you moved bubs into the cot. I made the basinett up today in preperation for the arrival, but didnt put the Safe T Sleep on yet, as wasnt sure whether it was the right thing to do or not. We plan on wrapping baby too....not sure if that makes any difference. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| You won't need it, newborns don't move hardly at all and in a basinette you can tuck them in nice and snuggly plus with the wrapping he/she really won't be able to move |

When Brenna was in the bassinet, I wrapped her and used a wedge. Then when she went to the cot I started with the safety sleep  -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

| I am the same as you Simsam. I have a safety sleep but havent used it yet. I find that swaddling him and tucking the blankets tightly over him works fine. I have moved him into his cot as he seems happier there than the bassinet (only thing I can think of is that he can see further in the cot and hes a very alert wee thing). I am not sure when I will start with the safty sleep. Maybe when I stop swaddling???? |

We used the safety sleep from day dot with all three girs, not entirely sure why we bothered, but we didn't have a bassinette so I guess it was to make them seem less tiny in the giant cot and stop them slipping down the cot. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

we started using ours when the kids went into the cot, which was when they were sleeping through the night. ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

| We used ours with Alyssa in her cot since day one (we didn't use a bassinet). |
