This bassinet was given to us by Gram and Gramps. It was originally given to Gram by her parents, Tim's Nana and Poppop when his oldest sister was born. It had been in their basement since Tim grew out of it (he's the youngest) and wasn't in the greatest condition. It had some mold and mildew stains and the mattress was not salvageable at all. Gram and Gramps had it stripped and restained and we must say it turned out amazing.
So last night was our first night with the bassinet and we attempted to let Eli sleep in it while we slept in the bed beside it (rather than one of us stay up with him at a time while the other slept). For the first attempt at this it went pretty well. It meant we were both up at feding time and both attempting sleep when not feeding. If Eli has his pacifier in, some white noise playing on the radio and the space heater keeping him nice and toasty he was pretty content. I think if we stick with this routine everyone will get the hang of it soon.
