Bassinet or crib? First time mom
Hello! I understand this can be a controversial topic and every family has different preferences but I just want to gather some help.
My husband I will be parents for the first time, baby is coming this summer. We know that we do not want to co-sleep as I move a lot, do not want to suffocate baby.
I have been thinking about putting baby in it’s crib right from the beginning in its room. It’s room will be right next to ours, sharing a wall. Just for keeping things easy I think I could sleep in there on the gliding chair or I could still sleep in bed, but it would require getting up frequently of course.
The other option is getting a bassinet such as the Halo one that could come in right beside the bed but I know some babies don’t like the Halo.. for moms who have used a bassinet is there one you would recommend?
It would be easier if course to keep baby in the room. My husband will be off work for a few weeks but I want to make sure he gets as much sleep (as possible, considering our condo is small and he will likely hear baby) for when he goes back to work. I also fear having to transition baby to a crib at some point if we use the bassinet. Any tips or advice, or product suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
