Travelling to Ibiza (mytravel airways), baggage allowance/bassinet for a baby? Are travel cots allowed? I will be taking my (then) 8month baby to Ibiza soon using mytravel ariways. Does anyone know if they have bassinets available at the bulkheads for babies and also what baggage allowance if any are babies allowed? I know pushchairs are usually checked without affecting the allowance, but are travel cots allowed? I haven't flown since all the guidelines went crazy with the plastic bags and no liquids stuff, so if anyone can help advise me on what to expect I'd be grateful! I should have added that I don't have my tickets yet! I am going to ring them and find all this stuff out tomorrow, their office is helpfully closed at the weekend. The holiday is booked, I just don't physically have the tickets yet. I don't have a seat for the baby, hence wanting to put the baby in a bassinet if available. If anyone has actually flown mytravel with a baby I'd be interested to hear how it went.

Do cradles effect a baby's sleep once they are moved to their cots? I am having my third child and I wanted to put the baby in my room for the first few months, but I can't decide if I want to buy a bassinet or cradle.

I like the idea of cradles as they can be rocked to settle them to sleep however I am worried that they will get use to the rocking motion and have problems sleeping once they are moved to their cots.

How can i make my baby's cot matteress softer? I bought an innersprung matteress for my babies cot. He usually sleeps with me in bed, but i'm beginning to move him back into his own cot. He doesn't appear to be comfy when i put him in his cot - he constantly rolls around, bangs his head and gets a bit grouchy - he doesn't do this in my bed, which is a bit softer. I can't find or buy matteress overlays where I am (NZ), and i've been looking for awhile. Does anyone have suggestions? He's six months old now. He sleeps with me in my bed and its just a tad softer. He's started belly crawling now, so I don't feel safe with him in our bed - there has been too many close calls. I'd much rather have him sleeping in his cot on a softer mattress - a bit like our bed, instead of rolling off the bed :) He sleeps fine in our bed by himself, i'm not worried about the sleeping itself...thats fine.
