If you are laying in bed, can you slide the baby in and out to nurse? Or do you have to pick them up? Defeats the purpose if you have to sit up out of

It sort of works that way...unfortunately, you can't really slide the baby because you have to sit up. It seems like the only way to not sit up is to put your baby in bed. I personally was not comfortable with that. This is the next best and safest thing.It also beats getting out of bed to walk to a bassinet or another bedroom. Worth buying!

You do have to lift the baby from the co-sleeper but you don't have to fully sit up to do it. The mattress is a tad lower than the bed mattress. There is a bar/ cosleeper "wall" that keeps the baby from rolling into the crack between the mattresses. You cannot slide the baby necessarily... you can put the baby in your hands and slide onto bed but I wouldn't want to bump the head/back on the bar. It's really not hard.

You can slide the baby in and out to nurse if you have it set up that way (as per included instructions). I have it set up as a bassinette at the moment.

Sure you can! We have done this with our baby and haven't had any issues. However, just don't leave your baby in it unattended.

If you have a new born baby, it's not very hard. Feeding the baby inside worked for me until 3 months. Babies are different...You have to try first. Anyway it's very comfortable to just carry on the baby.;)

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height

I use it like a bassinet. It's deep enough that a young baby would be hard pressed to climb out! Until they actually start grabbing and pulling themselves out of things I think the restraint is unnecessary. The angle and shape of this bed holds them in the right position much like a car seat but more reclined. I've been considering cutting out the buckles because I feel like once we actually will need them we'll be moving our babe to the portacrib.

You're not supposed to do that because of a SIDS risk, BUT I've heard of people putting it under the fitted sheet and propping the infant up that way. Hope this helps and Good luck :)

There are little plastic pieces on the edges near the part where it bends up. They are easy to pull up but, the person has to be able to lean down and lift one side and than go to down to the other side of the bed and pull that one also. Hope this helps. Sorry I cant explain it better.

I don't think its made specifically to accommodate nursing, but I know moms who have been able to. Personally I don't think I could haha!

The reason you purchase this is for safety against suffocating on loose blankets. If your 18 month old is crawling out of the crib, you need to transfer to a toddler bed. You can put a mattress on the floor as a bed as well. It is not worth the risk of your child falling out of the crib. They can use leverage and their body weight to get out!

No way! They have to lay still. I always lay a thin receiving blanket on it, tare the scale then lay baby down. My twins did pretty good about not moving for 2 seconds so I could get a good reading. They are 4 months now and do move too much when I put them on it. Good luck.

If you want to sleep with...everything! on the bed...No!..Lol...but if you sleep in a Fetal! Position...Yes! Lol... Seriously though...No...unless you really do sleep in ...a Fetal position. Hope I've helped you. Smile.....

I plan on putting my baby on the other side when he is able to sit up on his own. If you do it beforehand, they'll just slide down and obviously thats not safe.

I'm not sure what a nursing stool "pull out" is, so I would have to say no. It is just a gliding ottoman.

I didn't use mine as a bedside bassinet for that reason. I let my baby sleep in it one night and she slid to the bottom and her little legs were all crunched up. I only used it during the day for naps.

I have six children and I would say that a newborn would be fine if they were just going to be laying down in the rear seat. However if you were trying to put them in the upright position; it wouldn't be adequate because there would not be proper support.

You have to be gentle with baby when you take him/her out this way. I have been able to at times when her feet aren't squirming around,but for the most part you do,still easy I can do it with one hand.

Can the baby wiggle out of the sleeper when swaddled? I noticed there is a buckle in the speeper. Can you buckle the baby when swaddled?Thanks
