I had planned on getting a Snuggle Nest but they are unavailable at every store I've looked at. Makes me think they are undergoing some big design change maybe? Anyway, I am expecting very soon and would like to get something ASAP. I slept with my first two just on the bed, but I feel like our current mattress (which is pretty new, so I'm not replacing it) is a little too soft for a tiny baby, plus it is on a bed frame, instead of flat on the floor like I used to have our mattress in my former co-sleeping days (my kids are 8 and 9 so it's been a while).

There is the First Years co-sleeper, but it has a stiff wall all the way around it, and I really would like something I don't need to completely lift the baby out of/ back into to nurse. I liked the look of the Snuggle nest because the walls were only around the top half, so you could kind of pull the baby down and nurse.

Any other recommendations would be welcome, too.

check on the snuggle nest...something tells me they might be going through a recall or something. i think i've heard several places recently that sleep positioners have been (recently?) deemed "unsafe."

tzs: Yes, it appears they redesigned the Snuggle Nest with no sleep positioners or incline wedge... Don't really understand why they are getting rid of the incline wedge, as I don't believe it was part of the new recommendations about sleep positioners. Also, our pediatricians always told us to have them inclined whenever they got colds so they could breathe easier. Oh well.

We took the side off a hand-me-down crib and pushed it up against our bed.  The crib mattress has multiple heights so we were able to line it up at the same height as our mattress.  We used that until my daughter had enough head control that I felt safe with her on our pillow-top mattress - I think around four or five months?  It was nice to be able to lay right next to her without worrying about our mattress.
