Will you have LO in crib from day one?

Or in a bassinet in your room?

Bassinet. Well, I like the co-sleeper bassinets (saw them at Target) - They seem very universal. But I plan to BF, so the baby will stay with me every night in bedroom.

We will have a crib in the nursery though. For all intents and purposes

Crib...we have no room in our room for anything else.

Alexandra*sMom · December 2009

crib. Our room is not big enough for any more furniture!

Mysh · December 2009

Bassinet. I like the idea of having baby that close.

NFL_Wife · December 2009

With DS, the plan was to have him in the crib from day 1. However, he had other plans! He would ONLY sleep while being held, so for like 6 weeks I slept on the couch holding him on my chest.

I hope DD is an easy sleeper and will let me use the crib from the get-go!

bassinet due to BF ease in the beginning...

gmugrad9 · December 2009

is there an option C?

DD had such bad acid relfex that she slept in her swing for the first 8 months.

We are open to doing that again if need be, if not we will use the crib but we have a daybed in the nursery I will use

Worcbride · December 2009

bassinet for the 1st 3 months just like w/DD. Since I'll be BFing again I just find it easier

strawbrrysmile05 · December 2009

co-sleeper next to the bed. sooo much easier for nighttime feedings and changings.

Mrs Merlot · December 2009

Bassinet at night but crib during the day. Even though baby's room isn't far from ours, with my luck I'd fall down the stairs in the middle of the night on the way to feed baby. So, our room it is.

princessjenney · December 2009

We're doing a bassinet too for breastfeeding purposes.

crib.

kate930 · December 2009

Crib in her own room.

Jsolivan · December 2009

We set up the crib in our room. We plan on converting our guest room into a nursery eventually. But for now it just makes sense to put it in our room. So I guess my answer in both

SoldiersGreenBean · December 2009

Crib this time around.

joelen&louis · December 2009

Bassinet in our room at night.... but will place LO in a crib set up in the nursery during the day

MFalor · December 2009

Bassinet. But only b/c we got it for free from my SIL. Otherwise, it would be crib from day one. (Also, if we ever have a second child while the first is still in the crib, I'd like to have something for the new baby to sleep in, lol.)

katie9136 · December 2009

Planning on crib, but if sleeping is an issue I am sure there will be some sleeping with us or at least getting naps in together.

snoopymom09 · December 2009

Bassinet for the initial few weeks, then on to the crib. I just need to get used to BFing in the beginning, and I think it will be easier with baby close by...

this. Plus its scary not being close to baby in the beginning. I panicked when we finally moved him bc I loved having him close.

lildevil968 · December 2009

Our plan is crib, but LO may have other plans....lol. DD was in her crib from day 1 but that was because our room in that house was so small I could have killed myself over her bassinet.

Stephanie2167 · December 2009

My plan is to have baby in the cradle (DHs parents are sending us the cradle that was handmade for DH) until he/she begins sleeping through the night. Then he/she will move to the crib.

Mrs. Reckling · December 2009

in a bassinet in our room.

MrsHT · December 2009

The plan is a crib in LO's room from day 1. One less transition later on.

DivaMommy_312 · December 2009

Cosleeper connected to my bed. After 3 kids, I've learned that it's just easier to have the baby next to me. Especially since I plan on breastfeeding.

witoga · December 2009

DS was in our room for the first 5-6 months - it made nursing much, much easier...we will do the same with this one.

UrbanLe1 · December 2009

Bassinet in our room (well, pack n' play) for the first 2-4 weeks...

RadicalDreamer143 · December 2009

Crib. I plan on pumping exclusively, but I still think I will want my own space.

bakedlaurabean · December 2009

PNP in our room (the smaller version). I'm planning on breastfeeding, so it will just be easier. Also, it lowers the risk of SIDS. Ours is the only room with a/c too, so that will be better for baby during the summer when the nursery gets hot. Lastly, baby was in my body for 9 months, so a separate room is a big jump from that after that amount of closeness. I'd rather keep him close.

This.

Crib in their nursery. It works best for us as a family.

ditto this- but we had DD in the bassinet for the first 4 months- also FWIW she started STTN @ 6 weeks, but for me nursing in bed was much easier, more relaxing than sitting up in a glider. There were many wonderful mornings where she and I would stay in bed until 10ish!

APRILMW · December 2009

Bassinet first few weeks by our bed, then transfer to crib.

winomom22 · December 2009

In the room with us. We will probably start him/her in the bassinet and then co-sleep after the first waking. Did this with dd and it worked great and I never really felt sleep deprived.
