I used the arms reach mini with DS and I loved it. It was very helpful for EBF.

Re: if you used a bassinet or co-sleeper

I had traditional bassinet (in our family for over 50 years) and LOVED IT! It was great for bottle feeding at night too, I'd bring hot HOT water before bed, leave it on the night stand (so it would be room temp, by the time he wanted it) with formula ready to be mixed. . . leaned over,picked him up, fed him and passed back out. I LOVED having it at bed height for so many reasons!

I used a cradle - mahogany to match our bed as the kids are in with us when they are infants. I love it...no pictures but any search for a cradle should give you some options.

We used this one from Arm's Reach. It can be used as a co-sleeper or a stand alone bassinet (how we used it). You can adjust the legs to the height of your bed.

ETA: I loved it. DD slept well in it. And I liked that it has mesh sides--I could easily peek in to make sure she was okay.

I think its the perfect height for the bed, i can look into it and watch her when i am in bed, it also works great by the couch and in the kitchen when we are eating. basically i just carry it from room to room if she is sleeping. Buy it at BBB and try it and then if it turns out to be too short just return it.

It is shorter. My bed is on the shorter side so it works great. We use it for everything. We take it outback while watching the bigger girls play. We also took it when we went to visit family. Its really comes in handy. My guy hates laying flat so he isn't a fan of our regular pack and play.

Re: if you used a bassinet or co-sleeper

We had both..friends lent us the bassinet and now we are using the pnp newborn part...she seems to sleep better in the pnp but to be fair, I don't know if it's because she's older,..I find either to have been just fine but I agree about wanting something bed height, especially if you are ebf...
