What is your baby sleeping in when they come home?

mavargo · March 2013

What do you plan on having your baby sleep in when they come home? I'm having twins and was planning on having them sleep together in their crib in our room. But everyone keeps telling me there is no way I am going to have them in the crib when they come home.I have swings, bouncers, pack n play, rock n play sleepers,and a bassinet but I don't understand why I wouldn't want to start them off in the crib. Is it better for the babies not to sleep in their crib in the beginning?

Crib and bassinet if she tolerates laying flat (DS wasn't a fan) or the RnP if not. If you can get them in the crib right away, I say go for it. Can you set up a bed in the room with them just so you're right there since you'll pr

Rock n play. Dd is still using the crib a her toddler bed and I like to co sleep.

They probably say that because if you breastfeeding them, you might soon realize that you will dislike getting up walking while still sore to their room, feed them, walk back to your room. And jumping up and down at their crying every so often.

The bassinet part of the pnp in our room. I would have no issues with the baby sleeping in the crib, if the crib were in our room but it's not (actually, DS is still using it in toddler bed form :P)

ETA; DS usually slept well at night in the pnp,

Ideally, it's probably best to have them sleep in their cribs from the beginning if they will tolerate it, but with my twins, they slept much better in bouncy seats for the first few months (before the advent of RnP). The first couple months you

I'm planning on the crib in her room, since her room is right across the hall and literally two steps away from our room and our room is too small for even a bassinet. I'd say, whatever works for your family!

Lolalipsy · March 2013

I was going to try and start off in the crib but a few people told me to get a moses basket for the first couple of months and place the baby in that. They've also suggested placing the moses basket in the crib. I'm planning on sleeping in

mavargo · March 2013

Their crib is in our bed room, and two feet away from the bed, so as long as they will sleep in that I will probably use that. I have the glider right next to the crib too. So getting up and breastfeeding won't be an issue. I'll have the other items on st

TheyCalledHerKate · March 2013

We are probably going to have her sleep in the PNP in our room for the first month or so. I believe the AAP recommends this to lower the risk of SIDS as well (not having your baby sleep in the bed with you, but in your room)

LO will be sleeping in the bassinet portion of the PNP that will be set up in our room. There are a few reasons for this though.

#1 - LO doesn't have a room of his own yet.

#2 - A crib won't fit in our room.

If LO did have his own r

Lurking, already had DD. She hates her crib. Luckily, we have a bassinet as well and she tolerates that.

sparkymcgeee · March 2013

I will also say that it would have been ideal to have DD start in her crib but she had bad reflux and a cold soon after she was born. That's not super conducive to sleeping flat. I didn't have anything but a swing because the intention was the crib. Sh

Bassinet and our bed. It's easier to just fall back asleep while nursing with the baby in the bed next to me. Plus the baby will be waiting for DH to re-build the crib (kinda).

HML5382 · March 2013

I'm planning to use a bassinet in our room for over night and the crib in her nursery for naps. I'm sure we'll do some naps in the swing & bouncy seat too, but I'd rather get her used to sleeping flat from the beginning.

We did this with DD1

vic1011 · March 2013

Pack and play in our room until we move a couple of weeks father she's born. Then in her crib.

MT-Head · March 2013

Malcolm be sleeping in the same co-sleeper that his big brother Will used 2 years ago.

mnj05 · March 2013

Bassinet next to our bed. I wanted him laying flat from the start so the transition to the crib would be easier. Our plan is to keep him in our room for about a month then transition him to his crib in his room.

OhSewCrafty · March 2013

Wherever she will actually sleep! I don't care! Hahaha

But really, we have a Rock n Play and the crib, but she'll probably sleep plenty in bed with us too.

tokenhoser · March 2013

Baby will likely be in bed with me. I didn't plan on bedsharing with DS, but I didn't fight it either. I actually moved into baby's room (we had a twin in there) and we liked the arrangement so much we'll do it that way with #2 as well. DH has to go to wo

Since the Public Health Agency of Canada deems bed sharing as a risk factor for SIDS and injuries (such as rolling onto your child while sleeping...) and I simply would not be comfortable having to constantly remember that a very fragile human being is

Mommymorticia · March 2013

My baby is sleeping in our room in the bassinet part of the playard at nighttime only. Then crib for naps during the day. If LO ends up liking and napping in the bouncy seat or swing I'm probably not gonna move him though.

Good for you, TokenHoser! I never intended to chastise you, and it's sad you took it that way, as I was answering from my very own situation. Until you quoted me, I hadn't even read your answer!

Comfort zones vary from individual to individual

ThursdaysAngel · March 2013

Our baby boy will be sleeping (hopefully) in his crib, in our bedroom. Sadly there is only two bedrooms in the house and I refuse to be on separate floors and climb the stairs every time he wakes up. Therefore... he will share our room until he sleeps thr

Swing, arms reach co-sleeper, and rock n' play sleeper were what DS slept in. We didn't make it to the crib until about 3 months.

Eleventy11 · March 2013

The AAP recommends rooming in for the first six months to reduce the SIDS risk. I was also one who said LO would be in her crib from night one. There was no sense in having her sleep in our room...I had a video monitor and could see and hear everything. L

prazenjc · March 2013

DD will be in a bassinet level PNP for the first several months. this is what we did w/DS, as well.

Angela814 · March 2013

Ideally she'll sleep in her bassinet in our room. If she's anything like my last two, we'll end up bed sharing instead. DD1 and DD2 wouldn't sleep at all unless they were touching me (as in snuggled up against me, not just with my hand on them).

j&lo82907 · March 2013

Although I think I plan on DS2 sleeping in his crib in our room from the beginning, you never know until they get here. With DS1 I bought him a gorgeous bassinet and he would not sleep in anything flat, he slept in either the bouncy or carseat until lik

BelhurstBride · March 2013

DD was in a bassinet in our room. We had a PnP set up downstairs, too.

I plan on doing the same this time, only I'm borrowing an Arm's Reach Co-sleeper from a friend. Waking up and having to get out of bed to go to the bassinet got old, fas

kellpaluga13 · March 2013

CONGRATS on the twins!!!! That is exciting!!!

I know with our DS we had him sleeping in a bassinet in his nursery until he got to big for the bassinet, then we moved him to the crib. One thing I really liked about the bassinet

I am using a craddle at first so I can have him right nect to my bed.
