Hi mummies! Is it a must to have a play yard if I don't have a playpen? My house is already filled up with my baby girl's things. I've a parklon M size bubble mat in the living room. I'm in a dilemma, thinking whether to get a play yard for her. Would appreciate if the mummies here can advise on this! :)

Playyard is only suitable IF you have a very big space to begin with. First of all, it's very space consuming, secondly, it differs with every child. Some likes to stay inside the playyard. Some likes to wander around. Since you have parklon mat in the living room, you can get those toy boxes to surround the playmat to create a 'wall'
