If you plan on having your baby sleep in your room...

... for the the first couple months, what will they be sleeping in? ?Pack & Play, bassinet, co-sleeper? ?I'm trying to decide...

Thanks!?

  • We found a nice bassinet at a thrift store, so we'll be using that!

  • We're using a PnP... both DH's and my family live at least 2 hours away from us, so we know we will get a lot of use out of the PnP from traveling as well.
  • We are also planning on getting a Pack n' Play... that way we can use this for something else once we move him into his own room.
  • Pack n play that is also a bassinett. We are doing this to save on space.
  • we're doing a bassinet, got one on craigslist

  • I got a co-sleeper, it connects to the bed so I can just reach over to get the baby.  I really love that idea!
  • Cradle by the bed

    I wished I had this (instead of a PnP) for DD because she was a horrible sleeper and I BF so it would have made things easier for us.. I'm planning on getting one for this baby.

  • We put Pack & Play in our registry, that's what I'm thinking of using so it can be used later as well.

    Another plan we have is for me to sleep in baby's room next to the crib (and put our extra full size bed for me) so DH can sleep by himself quietly in our room since he's the one who needs to work the next day...

  • the crib i was in - my great grandfather made in and pretty much everyone in my family since my mother was in it.  Its small and has rockers so you can only use it for a few months

    We plan to use a cosleeper, probably the Baby Bunk (or something similar) for the first few months. We looked into that other brand of cosleeper, Arm's Reach, but I didn't like how plasticy they were. (We're trying to buy as little plastic and toxic crap as possible, and buy only safecoated hardwood and organic furniture/accessories). I have a feeling the baby may just end up sleeping in the bed with us eventually, but we're going to give the cosleeper a try while the baby is so small.

  • We're using a Graco pack n play, mainly b/c it was given to us by family. I also have a bassinet that takes up less space that I might use if necessary.

  • We have a bassinet in our room if we decide to have baby sleep in our bedroom, but the plan at this point is to put her in her crib in her room the very first night.  We also have a co-sleeper for lazy weekend mornings that we just want to lay in bed with her!

  • Moses basket and stand for the basket so it is bed level. We keep it right next to the bed for easy feeding access. We have used the boys into their own rooms around 5-6 weeks, so we dont use it for all that long of a time, but it is nice and small, and since our master is a main level master, I can drag it from room to room through out the day while the baby naps.
  • A bassinet, but only because someone is loaning it to me...otherwise we would just use the pack n play.  :)

  • We have a co-sleeper, but we ended up putting the baby in her room about a week after we got home. And when she comes into our room i the morning, she sleeps in the bed with me:)
    "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut
  • my aunt just bought us a bassinet for the baby.  I guess the baby will be sleeping in that.  At first I was just going to use a pack & play but now that we have one I guess we will use it. Thanks to family help.

  • Bassinet in their own room. Baby will let you know when they need you. No baby monitor either. My babys room is like 4 or less feet from our bedroom.

    Just my deal!

  • She will sleep with us in the crib in a side-car position.

  • I found a bassinet I love with extra storage.  It turns into a mini-changing table also.  There's not enough room where it would be for a PNP.

  • Thanks for all the info!
  • PnP or crib moved to our room.. not sure yet!
  • We used the bassinet feature of the PNP. No point in wasting the money on a seperate bassinet. The PNP worked just fine. We also switched DS to his own crib and bedroom at 9 weeks. We will probably switch this baby to his/her own room sooner. We ALL slept so much better that way!
  • Not a co-sleeper (hey why isnt there a badge for co-sleeping?!) anyways... Bryson will be sleeping in our room, in a bassinet for the first few months.
  • In a cradle, by my side of the bed for the first few weeks.
