Has anyone used a playpen instead of a crib? My boyfriend and I have been talking about it and I think we should just go with a playpen since it's a bit cheaper and you can the ones that are a bassinet, change table and the playpen together, but i just wasn't sure if it was bad for a baby to sleep in the playpen and not a crib
