I have just been given a bassinet to use from a friend.. Its in good clean condition and It is a great size but has no fabric cover around the sides or fabric covering the hood on it.. Is this something i should bother about buying.. whats the advantage or dis-advantage of a cover and hood ??? Warmth, SIDS, prettyness etc...

I have purchased a brand new matress and also wondered if i need the plastic matress cover as well ??

Oh its all new to me ! thanks in advance for any advice

I would say the cover is mainly for look but may keep breezes off too. I wouldn't get a plastic cover for the mattress, you can get pure wool dry liners for cots and basinets which are safer for babies.

Basically it comes down to personal choice a lot of the time

I was never fussed about a hood but the one we borrowed had one and I've gotta say after using it, it was handy. Kept the breeze off and also filtered the light for daytime naps.

Has it got solid sides? If it does then the fabric is for looks.
