Do I need sheets/mattress for Pack n Play?

Hi,

I'm a bit confused on the Graco Pack n Play....I've heard several people use this for their infants to nap in during the day. If I do this, do I need to buy mattrress/mattress pad/sheets/etc? I.e. another whole set of bedding stuff in a special size? Alternatively if I just use it occasionally, do I still need some of it?

Thanks in advance!

We used one for my niece when my sister visited last year. We used the PNP sheets (Carter's from Target, 2-pack) and they washed up very nicely - Abby had a little reflux issue and was quite the messy baby! I don't think sleeping on the plastic mattress would be too comfortable and you might have a sweaty baby after nap. I don't think you need more than sheets and a blanket or sleepsack. It also depends on if your baby will sleep in one. Good luck!

The PNP comes with a matress. You just use that. I just use the Graco PNP sheets and I think they work just fine. IN general, I have found that my DD doesn't sleep as well in the PNP as she does in the crib. I never use a blanket with DD, a sleeper works just fine.

HTH,
