Parenting after a Loss

Stokke Sleepi? (XP from Nurseries & Baby Gear)

We are expecting LO #2 in the fall, and while he or she will be in our room with us for a few months after birth, I am thinking ahead to what to do in the nursery. The new baby's room will be small -- not Manhattan small, but maybe 10x10 -- and I am wondering if a rounded crib, like the Stokke Sleepi, will fit better in the room than a standard rectangular crib.

Any experiences, pros, cons, loves or hates about this crib are appreciated. I don't know much about them other than they are oval shaped and pricey, ha ha. I've never even seen one in person. The cost is out of our budget but I've seen a few gently used ones on Craigslist.

Thanks!

  • I had friends who had a vintage (it had been handed down in their family) circle crib.  They had a heck of a time finding a mattress or sheets for it.  Past that, they loved it.  My one issue with it would be overall size.  DS is so lo

  • I anticipate the same problem some day. Our room and DD's room are upstairs, and we have 2 rooms downstairs, but I want to keep us all on the same level. Her room is about the same size as yours.
    Could you do a mini crib for a while? Even at almost
