Wood looks nicer than perspex!

Don't get me wrong, the perspex cots at the hospital work really well. They make it easy to 'tilt' the kid (if need be). They also make it very easy for any visitors to see them (although at that time they are often asleep). And, of course, they are very safe in there. Probably easy to clean as well.

But it appears that Genevieve was very happy to be home, and in her wonderful little bassinette/cradle/crib (just what do you call it? - I suppose it depends upon where you grew up). We picked up this one on eBay for a bargain price, but got a new mattress to reduce the likelihood of SIDS (they aren't sure why, but the stats say that using the mattress of someone outside that of their direct siblings increases the likelihood of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). It also has castors, so we can wheel it into the family area during the day, but next to our bed during the evenings.

Genevieve seems pretty happy with it!
