Are cribs really necessary ? Thoughts ?

Question

Answer

I bought a $400 one for my first baby and she didn’t sleep in it once. 🤦🏼‍♀️
I bedshared/breastfed all 3 of my kids so they slept through the night at around 2-3 months old and then after I weaned them at around 21-22 months I transitioned them to a toddler bed on the floor next to my bed and that worked great! 
So no I don’t believe they’re necessary. But everyone has their own preference.

Answer

I think it depends on the person. For me it was absolutely necessary for my kids to have a crib in their own room. I felt like the crib was a much safer/comfortable place for them to sleep than a pack n play or something similar.

Answer

I say yes. Honestly, I prefers my kids have their own place to sleep. They have their bed and I have mine.

Answer

We just use a pack and play in our room.
We share a room with baby and she’s either in our bed or napping in the pack and play.

Answer

Nope. I never used a crib with my kids lol.

Answer

Pack n play, all the way!!! Up until a certain age, they're cheaper than cribs and safer in my opinion for the beginning fourth trimester area. No risk of limbs getting stuck in between crib bars, easy breathable mesh sides, no mattress or bars for baby to fall in between. Easy to put away if needed, easy to move, completely washable, and can't get dinged or scraped up like a crib.

Answer

I use a bassinet then a pack n play. My daughter kept banging her head on her crib rails so we never used it. Pack n play was better cause even if she bumped her head all she would hit was mesh.

Answer

I used to be anti cribs because I heard all the stories about how they never sleep in them and how a waste of money they are. I planned on using a bassinet and a pack and play for my son when he was born. Well I was given a crib and it was set up and I was like okay that’ll never be used. Well, my almost two month old hates his bassinet with a passion and his pack and play he don’t like either. He will only sleep with me in bed or HIS CRIB! I could not believe it the first time I put him in his crib and he fell asleep! Now I use his crib for everything nap time to changing his clothes. I’m glad I got one now! Photo to show his love of it lol

Answer

Yes. Get a convertible one though. Saves you money.

Answer

Nope. She’s never slept in a crib or play pen. Just with us
