Bassinet or crib?

Question

How long can you use a bassinet for? Is it better to just get a crib? Or pack and play? Currently in a one bedroom apartment. Need opinions.

Answer

bassinets don't last long at all. maybe 3 months. waste of money. just get a convertible crib.

Answer

We used our bassinet until our baby was 4 months. Now she sleeps in her crib. If you have a tiny apartment a pack n play maybe your best option.

Answer

We used a 3-1 pack n play in our room. and a 5-1 crib in his. 
If we had a bassinet our son would have been out of it by 8 weeks old.

Answer

I used my bassinet for my daughter until she outgrew it. She reached the weight limit at 5 months. That’s when we moved her to her own crib. We had tried the pack n play, but she hated it. So she stayed in her bassinet as long as possible.

Answer

My LO hates his bassinet. I ended up getting a rock n play which is probably half the cost and he sleeps in it every night. He’s 5 weeks old. He has a crib.. I’m trying to do naps in it but he won’t be in it for a couple months.

Answer

We borrowed an Arms Reach co sleeper and it is amazing! I don’t have to get out of bed to feed baby and it raises up to the height of our bed so he is literally 12 inches from my face. I love it. Better (and safer) than bed sharing but I feel like he is just as close! 
When he outgrows this I’ll probably put him in a pack and play that we got at a garage sale for $10. Eventually he will go to his crib in his own room. 
If you’re worried about money borrow what you can, go to garage sales and visit consignment shops. Little Babies aren’t dirty so it’s not like the items are heavily used.

Answer

I would have loved a bassinet or a cosleeper crib, but they're just so expensive... I found a 5-in-1 crib on amazon for $100, so that's what we put on our registry.

Answer

We just kicked our son out of our room where he slept in his bassinet and he's five months old now. I loved having him right there for everything he needed.

Answer

The bassinet I had we used for four months. I only moved my son out of it because he was moving a lot and causing it to hit the wall (it’s a swivel sleeper). Now he’s in his crib and has much more space. I liked the bassinet at first because i felt the crib was too much space and I could move the bassinet . He started in our room and moved around 2 mo his room. But everyone has different preferences .
