[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are people using to set the baby down in during the day? Newborn DS sleeps at night in the bassinet (lucky us!)  if we use the RNP during the day in the living room. We’ll probably continue doing that at least until he rolls over. We used it much longer with DC1, but may not do that again.

Question is - if we ditch the RNP, where do we set him during the day? Swings, car seats, etc all have the same incline/positional asphyxiation risk, don’t they?[/quote]

Until they have some head/neck control, they need to be on a flat surface, like a pack n play, or closely attended in a swing that fully reclines (or almost fully).  Try a Moses basket.[/quote]

And what do parents do when babies can't be put on this type of surface without screaming?[/quote]
Have you tried a structured carrier? With a newborn insert if needed. I couldn't live without ours. Baby was screamy during the day if she wasn't constantly held. The carrier was a great solution.[/quote]

With all due respect this is just comically unhelpful advice. I know it's well intentioned but it's so unhelpful.

"What do I do if my baby will never sleep on its back without screaming?"

"Carry them all day in a structured carrier"

So when does mom do all the things OP asked about like take a shower? And when does mom sleep?

Also, FWIW, babies have died of positional asphyxiation in carriers too. I'm not anti carrier at all but they carry the same risks. [/quote]
