Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
I actually just stopped using ours and Nicholas is 6 months old. I believe the weight limit is 20lb on most of them. He reached the length limit  and it was time to move him to his crib.

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
DD was in hers until around 3.5 months -- she just didn't look comfy anymore.
ETA: there are weight & height restrictions on each model bassinet i believe.

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
ok good. I was hoping a few people would say they used them for 5 or 6 mths, I am having a dormer done on our house and her room wont be done for a few mths. was hoping to leave her in the bassinet rather than have to put a big huge crib in our room.
so..as long as she is still within weight limits of the basinet, it is ok to use to for 5 or 6 mths???

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
My pediatrican said when they start to roll over they should be taken out. Joseph was in until 3 months - and then..oh who am I kidding...he was in bed with us the entire time. His bassinet had a changing pad so I didn't have to go far to change him in the middle of the night.
Maddie was in until about 4 months & then I moved her to a crib.

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
We never ended up using ours. Emily would only sleep in the bouncer seat for the first 2.5 months and then we moved her to the crib.

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
Once the baby starts rolling over, a bassinet isn't safe anymore. Count on between 4-6 months.

I heard this too. DD is still in hers for half the night (12:00- on) and we are starting to give it up. She is 3 1/2 months

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
Not sure - I would say as long as he/she is comfortable. My son stayed in his cradle for 3 months, he loved it. I moved him because he was just getting to big for it and would wind up all squished in the corner.

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
My weight limit was 15 lbs. Kevin was past that by his 3 months dr visit and he was only born at 7lbs 2oz. I moved him at 12 weeks because I wanted him to transition before I went back to work but by that point there wasn't much room for himin there anyway - lenght wise too.

Re: repost from pregnancy - bassinet use
DS was in it for 2 months, then grew out of it. He got to be to long and was not comfy anymore for him.
