mini co sleepers or snuggle nests

How many of you have/use these? What age did you start?
I am thinking of getting one because she won't sleep unless we are holding her- do you think it will work? Maybe it won't make a difference because she is still not in our arms? I know one of them has an incline in it, I think she does not like sleeping flat on her back.

We had the snuggle nest and it worked sort of. We could put her down asleep in it but when she woke for her nighttime feeding the rest of the night she slept with me.
We did elevate though by folding a sheet under it because she could not sleep flat due to her reflux.
Have you tried side sleeping her? That's how Miranda slept for a long time with a sleep positioner.

I doubt the mini cosleeper would help. I used it and loved it but the baby isn't really close enough to you to be like holding her. I loved the convenience of it though.

We used the snugglenest for 3 months, my son wanted to be held all night as well. We would put him down but keep our arm around him, worked well for us

Re: mini co sleepers or snuggle nests

I bought a snuggle nest for Julia when she was like 2 mths because she sleeps in our bed with us and my DH was scared he would roll on her in the middle of the night, well It didnt work she did not want to lay in it at all, she knew the difference of my mattress and the snuggle. So I have a snuggle nest here that was used once. A waste of money!

Re: mini co sleepers or snuggle nests

I have the mini co-sleeper and DS has been sleeping in it from day 1. He will fall asleep in our arms or if we lay down with him on a bed w/his arms wrapped around my wrist. Only after he's in a deep sleep can we put him in the co-sleeper.

If you put her down will she stay asleep? If so, then the co-sleeper might work for you. We have one side lowered so that it's level with our mattress and when we stirs in the middle of the night, I just reach over and let him hold my hand. He's 7 months now and running out of space, so we are going to transition him to his crib soon.
