[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The Rock n' Play Sleeper is controversial because there is a chance that babies could slip or roll out of position and suffocate. Some docs advise against it (but others think it's OK).[/b] For those who aren't comfortable with the Rock n' Play Sleeper, fisher price also makes a Rock n' Play Bassinet that has a flat bottom and mesh sides.

My first wouldn't sleep in his crib or on any flat surface except my bed, but I'm hopeful that my second might accept a bassinet... Hope springs eternal I guess.[/quote]

A lot of people also say it leads to flat heads (I can't remember how to spell the technical terms - plagio-something and torti-something).[/quote]

I am considering using the Rock 'n Play Sleeper in our bedroom for the first week or two (to make nighttime feedings easier) and then transitioning to the crib. I read through a lot of Amazon reviews and most people LOVE it. It seems like the flat head problems resulted from babies sleeping in it for months. Also, some people seemed to keep there babies in it most of the day. Making sure to have tummy time and laying the baby on flat surfaces in addition to using the Rock 'n Play greatly reduced the chances of flat head. [/quote]
