Confused FTM:Where does your baby sleep?

Question

I’m interested in hearing about your methods as I come from a country where it is highly recommended that babies sleep in the same room as the parents for at least 6months to cut the risk of SIDS in half. Yet, I’m seeing a lot of posts showing the babies room and it seems many American forums have the parents sleep separately from the baby fairly soon after birth (I understand that’s generalising but have read many comments about the baby sleeping in it’s own room). Also read about how dangerous it is having sleep deprived parents and that 6months to a year is too long.
What have you experienced and how did it work for you? I’m a first time mom and not looking to judge, merely confused about information on both sides about this.

Answer

I’ve seen a lot of people decorate a nursery (which I think is what you’re talking about?) for when the baby gets bigger and in the mean time use bassinets during that 6 week period, of not more

Answer

I personally have my babies sleep in a bassinet in my room for maybe like 3 months, then they move to the crib in their room.

Answer

My daughter sleeps in bed with me and I love it! She’s slept 6 hours at night since she was 6 weeks old
She’s now 3 months and sleeps up to 10 hours

Answer

I'm a FTM and we have the nursery started but we also have a bassinet for the bedroom. We plan on having him sleep in our room for at least the first 5 or 6 months. We made the nursery so that when my husband goes back to work after paternity leave I can take the baby in there if he's fussy or won't sleep. Or if my parents come to our house to babysit they have the nursery set up with everything ready.

Answer

So we have a nursery for the baby but he doesn’t sleep in there yet and I knew he wasn’t going to for a while. Initially I bought a bassinet for him to sleep in but he rarely does, he sleeps in a dock a tot in our bed and when I’m not in the bed or room he sleeps in his bassinet. Because the dock is for co sleeping. I’m breast feeding every 2-3 hours so it’s easier for us. 
When he starts to sleep long in the night I will move him back to the bassinet. Then I will later transition him to his crib in his own room.

Answer

My son did not go to his room until a year. We did bed sharing and honestly he still ends up in our bed half the night and he is 2 and a half.

Answer

My first was in a bassinet beside my bed for 4 months but both me and her father snore and it was waking her so we moved her to her crib then

Answer

Our daughter slept bedside in a rock n play for about 5 months. We slowly transitioned her to her crib. Now she sleeps in her own room/crib. Everyone sleeps better this way. We got a Graco dreamglider for baby #2 since the RnP was recalled.

Answer

I intended to keep my baby in my room for about 4-6 months and then move him to his room. He's now 13 months old and still sleeps in my room (in his own crib) lol. It just turned out this way because he still wakes up a lot and it's easier for me to have him here rather than to have to keep going to another room. Just trust your own instincts. You'll see how things go with your baby and act accordingly.

Answer

My baby will be sleeping in our room in a pack n play next to my bed for 3 months, then I’ll move the pack n play to against the wall in our room until 6 months. At 6 months, he’ll be sleeping in his own room.
