Who else doesn't do a nursery?

Question

I was wondering whether anyone else is not doing a nursery? Apparently the baby doesn't even need one in the first year, does he? I was thinking about it and we decided that instead of placing him in a spare bedroom which is on the other side of the apartment (too far from our bedroom), we would place his cot in our bedroom. Additionally I am thinking of buying a very small and relatively cheap changing table which I can easily get rid of when the baby is old enough..is anyone else doing the same thing?

Answer

We are doing a nursery. However, he will sleep in our room in a bassinet for the first few months and then move to his crib in his room. The nursery is directly across the hall from our bedroom which helped my decision. No theme, just colors and furniture that will be able to convert to toddlerhood :)

Not a bad idea at all!! When it comes down to it. It's more of just a sentamental kind of thing. It's really not needed. I have had 3 and each of mine have had a nursery but this time around I'm not doing one and it is sooooo nice to not stress about the nursery being done! I would rather save the money and give my baby a really cute "big kid" room he or she can grow into for a few years.

Answer

Were doing the same thing. Our second bedroom is too far away. Luckily our bedroom is pretty big so we put baby girls crib and dresser in our room. Nurseries are cute and all but I'm not sure I would do one even if we could. I want my baby right near me!

Answer

We don't have a nursery. Babies don't actually need one, but I think people enjoy decorating rooms for them. Depends on how people choose to do sleeping and feeding arrangements as well. Some folks put baby in a separate room for the most part. It's just easier for us to have baby right there with us, especially for exclusive breastfeeding and feeding on demand. I don't want to get up and go into another room a million times a night for the first year. It's the kind of setup I'm personally most accustomed to with babies. When ours is a toddler, well have a separate room for play and eventually independent sleep. But nurseries just aren't a big deal for us. Everyone is different, it's all about what works for you.

My hubby & I 100% have a nursery. Little man will be in a bassinet for a few months in our room but we think it's important for him to have independence and grow accustomed to not being in mommy and daddy's room. Our nursery is across our house but it'll be worth it.  My husbands sister has 2 kids and was too lazy to put a nursery together and it's pretty sad. The toddler sleeps on a mattress that's on the floor.

Answer

Our nursery is basically a sun room attached to the master bedroom. We have a four bedroom house with just the two of us so we figured we might as well give her a nursery. :) this way Nothing baby is in our room.  (We are both very adamant that the baby has her room and we have ours).

Answer

My husband and I live in a studio apartment in NYC. So unfortunately baby boy won't have a nursery until we move. We have our apartment up on the market waiting for it to sell, but I have a feeling I'll be having the baby before we move. But everyone says they don't take up much space and they need to be near you in the the beginning anyway. I just like the idea of having a nursery ready to go!

Answer

We're doing a nursery. The baby will sleep in her bassinet in our room for the first month or 2, then we'll move her into her nursery.
