For the last several weeks, we’ve suspected that our baby girl has reflux. The colic, reflux and slow weight gain confirm that this is likely why she’s been fussy and uncomfortable. One of the things are Pediatrician told us to do was have her upright as much as possible. Because we co-sleep, it’s been a challenge to figure out a good way to do that while juggling a 2 year old.
When I agreed to review Fisher Price’s new Rock n Play Sleeper, I never imagined it would help with her reflux. I simply saw it as a safe place to put her while I’m doing household work and taking care of my son. The Rock n Play Sleeper is “a nighttime sleeper and playtime seat all in one [and] the only infant seat that meets industry safety standards for bassinets.” In my opinion, it reminds me of a cross between a bassinet and a swing. I like the ability to use it during the day to soothe or when she’s fussy or at night to sleep. It’s very easy to put together (I did it myself in just a few minutes) and lightweight for transporting it around the house.
This picture is darker than I would have liked, but I love the expression on her face.
One of the things I like most about the Rock n Play Sleeper is that it has an inclined seat. It’s nearly impossible to keep her upright after she eats unless I hold her or put her in a carrier, which is a challenge when you add the fact that I’m juggling a 2 year old. I find that when I keep her upright (whether she’s held or placed in a more upright position) she spits up less. The last few nights she’s been congested and I have kept her in the Rock n Play Sleeper at night. Again, she’s been more comfortable being at an incline than being flat on her back.
The Rock n Play Sleeper features a three-point restraint to keep her safe, a toy bunny, and a washable insert. It’s also super easy to transport since it’s lightweight and folds up easily. At only $50, it’s about a third of the cost of a full-sized swing which makes it very affordable. The Rock n Play Sleeper is suitable for infants up to 25 pounds. It’s important to stop using it when your child is able to pull up or sit unassisted.
Some of the things I’d love to see improved include the following:
I’d love to see the Rock n Play Sleeper offered in gender-specific colors. Right now it’s only available in yellow.
I’d love to see the company add music to the Rock n Play Sleeper.
I’d love to see an “automatic” rocking function that perhaps makes use of batteries.

Thanks for the review–I may consider this for my brothers first baby who will be born in March. Oh and your baby is so so so CUTE!! 🙂
That is the cutest thing ever! And look at your daughter! What a sweet heart!
I like that this isn’t in gender specific colors. It always bugs me when baby items are pink or blue. Yuck. I think it is a great color.
I’ll definitely have to get one of these for the next one 🙂 Cute video! I can’t believe how big she’s getting!
Caryn – What a sweetie!! I hope your baby girl is feeling better and that your elimination diet isn’t too awful for you! I’m almost at a year on mine – you can do it! Hopefully you won’t have to go that long, tho. I miss cupcakes! And pizza! 😉
so sweet that would be a perfect solution to your problem with a child I baby site for daily. THanks
Luv the pic of her smilin too sweet
