Sorry gals, you let bb sleeps in the changing place aka bassinet? Won't your bb feel uncomfortable? This is only for use when you need to change bb diaper, not meant to put bb there to sleep.
In fact, once bb reaches 3mths old, you shouldn't use it anymore cos it is not going to support your bb weight.
If you gals train yr bbs to sleep in baby cot or playpen, they will get used to it and it won't become an white elephant.
Whether baby cot or playpen depends on your choice. I've both. Baby cot is more stable but it takes up space. In fact, I dun think space should be considered here cos you won't keep the playpen when bb is not using right? For long term use, I prefer baby cot, especially those who wants more than 1 kid. Get those baby cot which can convert to a toddler bed.
yami,
Once your bb starts to flip, you should change the level of the playpen. This is for safety reason.
