Where should the baby sleep?

Question

I’ve heard different opinions. I want some more input. 
Where are you ladies gonna have the baby sleep? Primarily in the nursery, or in a bassinet next to the bed? And why?
Idk where to have the baby sleep when he’s first born. I planned on getting a crib and a bassinet so he’d have his nursery sleep, and the bassinet for sleeping next to us when he’s still super young. 
I don’t know what to do.

Answer

Just do what feels right for you. Mine will sleep in my room in a bassinet/pack n play until I'm comfortable bed sharing. My 6 year old has slept with me for years so I will likely do the same thing with this one. But I'm also a single parent so that's just what works for us.

Answer

I have a crib and bassinet baby will sleep in the bassinet beside our bed until she sleeps through the night then she will go in her crib with a monitor

Answer

We do bassinet next to the bed for when they wake up to eat a million times a night and then into their own room and crib once they start rolling and needing more space.

Answer

Bassinet next to my bed for the first few months and then transition into the nursery, which is right across the hall.

Answer

Mine was in bassinet next to bed until 6 months then into her own room. Shes 3 now n can sleep on her own with no issues. I will do the same with this baby.

Answer

For the first few weeks she'll sleep in a bassinet next to our bed, for two main reasons:
1) it will make feeding SO much easier. Take her out, feed her in bed, we both can go right back to sleep after I put her back. Getting adequate sleep is going to be so important for both of us, and I know falling back asleep will be much more difficult if I wake up, walk down to her room (our hallway is stupid long), feed her in the rocking chair, put her back, walk back down to my room, get into a now cold bed...
2) We're gonna be learning every little nuance about her. What she sounds like when she breathes, sleeps, if a certain noise means she's about to wake up, if it's just a noise she makes, how often she moves at night, and I won't have to walk down that damn hall every time I'm worried that she's not perfectly fine (which will be CONSTANTLY during those first few weeks).
I think she'll probably be in our room for about 4-6 weeks before we move her into her crib in her bedroom.

Answer

With my first she slept in a bassinet next to my bed, that way I could easy check on her and feed her throughout the night.  Then she slept in her crib in our bedroom, then we moved her crib to her room. That’s the plan this time too.

Answer

I have a crib in the nursery and a bassinet next to my bed.... my older two were in the bassinet till 3-4 months (started putting them in the crib around 2.5 for day naps) this baby will eventually share a room with her big sister so most likely for sake of ensuring my toddler sleeps all night I will keep this baby in the bassinet over night  till 6 months. My toddler doesn’t nap at all anymore so she will nap in her crib probably around that 2.5 months

Answer

Going to start with a bassinet in our room for convenience and so she doesn't wake my son up throughout the night.   Once she gets older and starts sleeping through the night (or close to) I'll move her into a crib in a room with her brother.   We only have a 2 bedroom house so space is limited!

Answer

We will do bassinet in our room. I plan to breastfed again and it was easier. I am going to try and have Baby sleep in the crib during naps though so I can give my 2 year
Old some one on one attention then.
