A certain little miss is being a naughty girl and decides to talk and grin at me when i put her into bed. Anyway, i noticed theres about 2 inches from her head to the top end of the Bassinet and the same from her feet to the bottom.
So im wondering is it time to put her in her cot? I have to actually get it from my sister in law in Hamilton and i have no mattress or sheets yet lol. Should i go get these as soon as i can? ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

| Yeah I'd say its time to move her into a cot. I moved Daniel into a cot at 6 weeks cause he was constantly playing with the side of the basinette lol. |

I only moved Spencer about a month ago, but then he is a tiddler and it took him that long to out grow his bassinet. -------------

About now My littlies outgrew their bassinette at about 6 weeks. It's very big-girl-ish, such proud mummies!  You'll probably find soon that Briahna will start wriggling on her back (or tum) and be bumping her head in time.-------------  |

i put my kids into the cot when they started sleeping through the night and i didn't have to get up to feed them  which was 6wks for jack and 10wks for charli.------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Arabella goes in her cot sometimes during the day because she likes to talk to her toys and wriggle round but at night she is still in her bassinet. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
