I admit, I have done no research on this yet, but I've seen a lot of posts lately about the baby staying in a bassinette/pack-n-play in mom & dad's room for weeks or months.
I just assumed the nursery would become the nursery the day we bring baby home.
Re: anyone putting baby in crib/nursery right away?
We are putting Natalie in a bassinet in our room for the first while - I want to have her closer by my side to keep an eye on her...
We're planning to put baby in his crib in his room from day 1. I'd rather try to keep our room for just us.
If it doesn't work, though, we're not opposed to putting him in the PNP in our room.
I want to keep an eye on baby, otherwise I know I'll be the mom who is constantly sneaking in the baby's room. I think we'd both get better sleep this way.
And reaching over and grabbing baby will be so much easier than getting up and going in the other room...especially if I have a c-section.
We put DS in his crib in the nursery right away, but we live in a small apartment so I wasn?t walking far to get him. He was so close to our room we didnt even need to use a monitor to hear him cry. If we lived in a 2 floor house I probably would have used a pack n play.
I go back and forth about it. our nursery is just across the hall, so, not a big deal.
My plan of the moment is to try to put the kid in the nursery right away, but don't push it. if I get to tired, we'll have a packnplay in our room (and probably a hand-me-down bassinet).
I also know I'm going to be that crazy person who checks the baby's breathing every 30 seconds. I do this with the dogs, much less a kid. so.... being in the room might be easier.

same thoughts...!
my thoughts exactly, at this point at least.
I haven't really thought about it. All of the babies I know have been in their own cribs from the start and I like that idea. Plus, the baby's room is about 10 feet from ours. I am open to anything happendng not as planned, but for now I plan on putting the baby in their own room from the beginning.
