Bedroom setup after C-section

emilyb153

I am pregnant with my third child, and am curious what bedroom setup and sleeping gear was best for all. I had two c-sections and will have another. With my first, I started on the couch with the baby in the rock n play before we transitioned into the bedroom with a bassinet insert in the pack n play. The rock n play has since been recalled, and admittedly the pack n play was way too short and inconvenient, and I wound up with baby in my bed which was not the best for my sleep until my DH convinced me she was fine in her crib in her room at 7 months.

#2 I splurged for a Halo Bassinest, but my babies are large and she rolled, which made my nervous. We went back to the pack n play and again ended up with baby in my
bed until we transitioned to crib in her room.

Looking back, I see that my PPD manifested as anxiety, especially at night. I am talking with my doctor this time around.

My question — Did anybody had a bedroom setup that they loved? The reality is that I will want my baby near me or in my room for at least 6 months. I am a minimalist and don’t want too many gadgets or too much gear, so I struggle with buying things they will grow out of quickly, but am willing to buy things that will help make my life easier. 

Crib? Mini crib? Bassinet or side sleeper?

Thanks for the advice in advance! ❤️
