I use this on the couch to let my baby sleep next to me supervised! It's a great thing to have if you feel like you can't contact nap anymore. Again with supervision, it is safe for baby to sleep in. She isn't rolling yet and lays flat on her back

Such a lifesaver with bottles! I would pump and feed bottles to help my very sore nipples! She now takes bottles like a champ! Washes, dries, and sterilizes in one go!
