Excellent choice for nursing mothers.

The Bottom Line: Excellent product. Very safe, effective, and a great way to have your baby sleep in your room/bed without worrying about rolling over on them in the middle of the night.
I love my co-sleeper. I am nursing and it is so easy to just roll over and pick up my daughter and feed her. I also bring a diaper or two and some wipes in her travel case in our room at night and just change her on our bed! I keep the diapers and wipes at the end of her co-sleeper, they don't get in the way because the sleeping area is larger than most of the "pack-n-plays" I looked at, at Babies R' Us. Then I don't have to turn on any lights (we have a night light) and she goes right back to sleep because she only wakes up enough to eat!!! That is one of the best parts, not having to get out of the bed to get her and feed her and then work to get her to go back to sleep! It wasn't hard to put together, but the first time we tried to fold it for travel it did take a while to get it folded up, I had to dig out the instructions and they didn't help much. The release buttons on the bars to collapse the co-sleeper are really stiff. It was annoying but only because we were in a hurry. I like the fact that they are stiff, that means when my baby is a toddler and we are using it as a play pen it will still be safe for her. If you could just pinch them real easy and the bar collapsed that wouldn't be safe! I love the product and would give it as a gift to anyone I know, breast feeding or not it is a wonderful product! Even if you are bottle feeding, if you have a bottle warmer put it in your room instead of the babies room or the kitchen, and feedings would be so much easier at night!
