baby sleeping once home ..? FTM

Question

How will you be putting your baby to sleep once home? 
A crib, swaddled? A pack n play? A bassinet? 
With blankets, without? I’m curious as to what to do as a FTM. Do I put them to bed without any blankets but if it’s too cold? Or too hot but swaddled up?

Answer

In a bassinet in my room for a little while. I’m a social worker so I’m a little obsessive about Safe Sleep practices and won’t be using blankets

Answer

We have her crib in our room but bought a bassinet that we will use until I get more comfortable having her a little further away from me. I felt bad having my first in the crib right away and ended up cosleeping, hoping the bassinet will prevent that this time around.

Answer

I’ll be doing bassinet with sleep sacks or swaddles. No blankets pleaseeee🤞🏽 they are dangerous for your little baby

Answer

Interesting to see no one has said crib yet!!  My nursery is right next to my bedroom so I was planning on starting her there in crib.  I don’t want to wake my husband up every time I baby wants fed.  But idk.... ftm so May change plans

Answer

With my first daughter, we did crib in her own room from night one. Best thing we ever did! She was swaddled and I went in several times a night to BF. This time around, since they will be sharing a room, baby with sleep in the bassinet in our room. We wanted to do the crib again, but also want to make surr our toddler gets enough sleep. As for the heat, just use a light swaddle over the diaper, no pjs. We used those Halo sleep sacks and they were perfect in the summer.

Answer

Controversial but we had a bed co sleeper we put my first in and she hated being swaddled. Then once she started rolling on her side we took her out of that and just bed shared but we didnt have any issues at all transitioning her to her crib once she hit 1. 
With this one we have a bed co sleeper and bassinet. So hopefully using our bed side bassinet and then to bed sharing. Swaddling if she likes to be swaddled otherwise probably just a sleep sack. Doing a similar routine to what we did with our first.

Answer

Swaddle and my grandma bought her some super nice bassinet that starts to move and sing if she cries lol. Hoping she loves it. If not play Pin or her crib. I do not want this baby in our bed. My son slept in my bed in a little sleeper thing and I never slept I was always so worried we would roll on him even in the cot thing.

Answer

Mini crib then pack n play both in my room for at least six months. Sleep sack always, no loose blankets.   Same routine with my first two.

Answer

We will have her in a basinette in our bedroom. She will be swaddled or wearing a sleep sack swaddle. No blankets for her because I don’t want her to accidentally suffocate. I have a nursery with her crib set up but at first she won’t go in there until about 6 months besides when I feed her and change her I may put her in her crib when doing some school work my computer is in the same room. For our main floor she will have a basinette set up in her pack and play. I know I have a rough time with stairs now never mind when baby gets here and I’m healing.

Answer

In a bassinet with a sleep sack. I used a crocheted blanket with my first baby because it’s breathable if they pull it up over their face but I’m going to see how the sleep sack works for this baby.
