Crib vs bassinet?!

Question

So the baby’s crib is going to be in our bedroom right next to our bed.. my question is is a bassinet necessary?!

Answer

I wouldn’t think so. The only reason I’m getting a bassinet or anything like it is because the crib will be set up in her room for when she is ready to be alone.

Answer

No it’s not necessary if you already have a place for the baby to sleep in your room

Answer

No, the crib will do just fine!

Answer

We only have the crib for our son, but moving it between rooms was such a pain.
At first we had it in his room because I wanted him used to being in there from the start. 
Well it was hard for me to climb in and out of bed since we have a tall bed so the first week home we were all sleeping in the living room.
Then we moved to our room and had him sleeping in his room. Of course, I got nervous and was checking on him every hour or so and then feeding him every two to three hours. So I moved his crib to our room.
Then he started sleeping better but he also wasn’t getting proper sleep because my boyfriend’s phone, alarms and sleep talking would wake him up. (He does maintenance and once every week he is on call so he can’t silence his phone during that week, and he was getting up earlier than us at that time).
Both times I had to take the crib completely apart, and I mean completely apart, to get it trough the doors. I tried taking the door off the frame but it still was too big so that was a big waste and an even bigger pain to fix.
So if/when we have #2 I’m probably gonna get a bassinet or co-sleeper just to make those first couple months a little easier. That, or a baby monitor with video to make checking on him/her easier. I woke my son up many times because he slept longer than usual and I’d go running in there and startling him by making sure he’s still ok.

Answer

No. We used a bassinet in our room because it was smaller and I didn’t want to have to move the crib. But if you’re gonna use a crib in your room anyway I don’t see a need for a bassinet.

Answer

We find the bassinet a lot more convenient, easy to move around wherever we need it to be, smaller, and just seems cozier for a small baby than a big crib. We have his crib set up in his bedroom for when he’s old enough for it :)
