Have baby sleep in Crib, bassinet, or co sleeper?

Question

For all those experienced moms out there, did you find it best to have baby sleep in crib from the start?  Or do you use a bassinet? Or a co sleeper?  I’m trying to figure out if I want to get a bassinet or not.  I would like for baby to sleep in his nursery but idk.  What have you found to be the best fit?

Answer

It is recommended for you and baby to share a room until baby is at least 6 months old. That being said, I plan on using a pack n’ play. A bassinet is good too, I just feel that I’ll get more use of the pack n’ play in the long run.

Answer

We did crib but we put his crib in our room.

Answer

I had the bassinet RIGHT next to the bed so it was pretty much a co sleeper until baby can sleep through the night. You do NOT want to get up and walk across the house 5+ times a night. It doesnt sound like a big deal but by the end of the first week, getting out of bed will hard enough, never mind walking lol.

Answer

Bassinet or co sleeper 100%, saves so much time and is so much easier for getting up in the middle of the night!

Answer

We’re hoping to just do crib but to keep the twin mattress in what will become baby’s room. I’ll end up sleeping in there most of the time the first few months

Answer

Definitely plan to have a bassinet for a few months then switch him over to a crib. Definitely don’t want to have to walk to his room every time he wakes up for feedings so it definitely best to have him by my bed side

Answer

This time around I will use a bassinet but for my first, i actually had the crib near me in the same room but preferred putting her right next to the bed in a bouncer. Now I wouldn’t do that again cause it was probably not the safest so this time Ill use a bassinet. I like the littlest movement from my arms to where they sleep and with the crib i would have to get up, walk slow and carefully put her down without waking her.

i had all my kids in their pack n play since day 1 but in my room near my bed. we moved my oldest ones to a room at 5 and 4 the youngest were still with us my 2yr old in his crib and the baby pack n play

Answer

I'm not experienced yet but soon I will be. Everyone told me it's best to have the baby sleep close to you in your room, so we got a pack n play with a bassinet for a gift and plan on using both until we feel the need to put the baby in their crib in their room. I can understand why because it's obviously easier for the mom to tend to her baby without walking a long distance. plus you will be sore from delivery so it'll be easier on yourself.

Answer

we have a pack n play all set up next to our bed and it's never been used except the changing table part LOL we use a snuggle nest in bed with us
