Besides the bassinet?
Would you put a newborn in a bouncy seat and leave the room?
What if they are sleeping?
What about a car seat or swing?
I don't mean for a long time, I mean for 3-5 minutes while you go to the bathroom or heat up some lunch or get dressed.

I have baby Bjorn bouncer and I used it from
Birth. The floor (on a blanket) is also safe
Yes I’d leave the room

If they are sleeping, they should really only be in a bassinet / crib / pack n play that's completely flat. If they're up, I wouldn't leave them too long without supervision, but if they're buckled in properly, I would go for a few minutes at a time while I take care of things.

The floor!! It's free and developmentally the best for your baby.

Swing or bouncy seat strapped in but on for a short time. I also leave in stroller and on a blanket on the floor.

I leave my baby in a different room if it’s not dangerous and he won’t fall onto the floor etc… I check every few minutes but if my non rolling young baby is happy hanging out in the middle of my bed, I definitely leave them there and do other things. For sure a bouncer, floor or similar. Why not?

I had at least 2 newborns who NEVER slept more than 10 minutes on a firm flat surface.
In a car seat or bouncer, they would sleep for maybe 2 hours.

Hospital social worker here. I see tons of non rolling young babies who were left in the middle of the bed and learned to roll. Usually causes skull fractures and subdural bleeding.

Any contraption with straps. Not a car seat that is unsafe unless it’s in the car. If the baby is not crawling on a play mat on the floor is fine too. If I’m home alone I put them in something right outside the bathroom and leave the door open so I can see them. But you don’t have to do that it just makes me feel more comfortable.

A car seat is dangerous. Many babies have died from asphyxiation. Please don’t use it for sleeping or out of the car.
