Baby bassinet?

Hi everyone, we had bought a baby cot during October's baby fair and only after talking to a friend, she suggested we get an additional mobile baby cot or napper which can be pushed around the house... any experienced parent can advise if this is necessary? We are planning to place the one we ordered (immobile cot) in the nursery as we don't have space in our master room to place the big cot. Means we will have to get a smaller bassinet / mobile cot for room / living room area... #baby #mum #cot #sleep #bassinet #advicepls TIA!

Yes I’m a supporter of getting a mobile baby cot / napper. We have one hand me down from brand called combi. Very useful. However it is also good that the baby uses the immobile cot if that’s ultimately where you want baby to settle and sleep in permanently long term. Because I realize for my first born out of convenience we kept putting her in the mobile cot (easier for my mum or other ppl to care for her in common space while I get busy eating/shitting/showering/punping ) but end up my child didn’t take well to her immobile cot 🤪 so the immobile cot was like a vase in her room. Now with my second born I will make sure she sleeps at least 50-60% of the time in her immobile cot. They need time to feel familiar with their surroundings and adjust. If they are not familiar enough they will cry and fuss for sure. Something for you to consider!
