Is this an acceptable substitute for a bassinet?

I used it every now and then for my daughter to sleep in at night but I heard it causes flathead if used for so long. I'm not sure how true it though.

My daughter used one for quite a while and had a perfect head :)

I used one like this for my daughter when I traveled and it worked just fine. But don't know how well it will work for long term.

This is the only thing my step son would sleep in. He never slept in his crib or bassinet. He did fine

this thing is the only thing my son will sleep in, and if you make sure your baby sleeps with her head a different direction then it'll reduce the risk of her having a flat spot

@pbandjones, @ginnalynn @alivewithyou I think I'm going to try it. My plan is to have her sleep in it for the first 6 weeks and then switch her over to her crib, but we will see

Yes my son slept in one for like the first 2-3 months of his life

@ftm-to-hayden, thank you! My mil suggested it because we have very little space in our room

My baby wouldn't sleep anywhere else except a lil bassinet but now he sleeps in a pack n play until we get a baby monitor
