Sleeping Arrangements ???

DueDec2009

At first we're going to put the baby in our room by our bed so I was wondering ...... if you're doing the same what are you buying for them to sleep in.  I was decided on a bassinet but then I was wondering,  I saw Pack and Plays that have a bassinet type top.....is anyone using those?

Yes, we plan on using his pack n play by the bed as a bassinet for a while.

We're getting two bassinetts from our mothers, but they're both very old and I doubt they're still safe, so we won't be using them very much, if at all. We live in a one bedroom apartment, so the crib is in our bedroom, and I'll be using that. But I'd say the pack n play would be perfect, and I've heard of lots of mothers who do that.

I didn't register for a bassinet, but did register for the pack and play with the sleeper on top. I will most likely be using that as well. I know a friend of mine used hers for that purpose.

We are getting an Arms Reach Co-sleeper.  Similar to a PNP but I like that it fits up right against the bed and that the weight capacity is higher than on a PNP.

We are putting a bassinet by our bed, mainly because we don't have the space to put a PNP.

we're doing the pack and play with bassinet as well.

We're getting the cosleeper as well.  I have a friend who used the PNP and she said it worked fine.

We're going with the Pack N Play at first.  The baby's room is upstairs, so I think that at first I will want the baby much closer to the room!

My GFIL is making us a cradle to use.  She'll be sleeping in that for a bit then moving to her crib in the nursery.

We were going to do a bassinet but then we moved and now I don't have a nursery and baby's crib is going in our room. Thank goodness it's huge because we have the crib, dresser and glider in their own little area in our room.

We loved the co-sleeper the first time, so we'll be using that again.

This for us too.

MIL is giving us the bassent that DH SIL and BIL all were in as newborns.  We are going to put it at the foot of our bed.  The P&P option is completely practical if that fits better for you guys.

I used the PnP when DD was in the room with us.  It worked great!

I was thinking about the Arms Reach Cosleeper but I finally decided a Pack n Play would be more convenient. We'd like to get a Graco PnP that comes with a changing table attachment, bassinet and a little newborn napper that looks pretty comfy.

Ultimately it was the changing table aspect that tipped us toward the PnP. Getting two changing tables seems silly but we don't have a good place to change baby in our room.

I have the arms reach co sleeper. Its the original not mini so it is a bit bigger than a bassinet and I like how it hooks onto my bed.

We used the PNP with bassinet attachment with ds and will be using it again for this baby.  It worked great.
