Where do you plan to have baby sleep?

Question

Just wondering what other mommas are deciding on for sleeping arrangements. Do you have a bedside sleeper? If so what kind? Do you plan to put baby in the crib straight away?
I coslept with my son in our bed and still continue to do so I can’t seem to get him to transition to his toddler bed (he’s almost 2) 
I plan to sleep baby #2 in either a mini crib or a bedside sleeper next to the bed but I’m contemplating really hard on which one to go with.

Answer

I got a bassinet/bedside sleeper for night and baby will nap in crib. It really helped with the transition to crib at night when my first son napped in his crib.

Answer

I’m using one of these bassinet/changing tables in our bedroom for the first few months. It’s on wheels so I came daily roll the baby from room to room, hopefully making the transition to his room easier. Got it lightly used on FB marketplace for $30 so I really can’t complain 😄

Answer

Going right into the crib from day 1.
Both my husband and I are light sleepers and our room in our new house isn’t as big as the room we had in our last house.  There really isn’t enough room to have a bassinet in our room, and we would both be waking up every time. 
I coslept with my first in a bedside bassinet while I was breastfeeding and eventually he moved into our bed with us, which absolutely destroyed our sex life and marriage. (We divorced and I am remarried) Ask anyone who bed shares or cosleeps and they’ll tell you they rarely have sex. Sex is extremely important to any relationship as a way to reconnect, bond, and remember why you got married/together in the first place. Anyone who tells you sex isn’t important is lying or not having it.
Clearly since we are all pregnant ladies here, at one point we were having it 😂 maybe not so much these days with our big bellies.
Also, my husband and I like to watch tv in bed, which would be an issue with baby right there.

Answer

We have a bassinet that baby will be sleeping in on my side of the bed. We plan to have baby sleep in our room for the first 3-6 months and then transition to their crib in their own room.

Answer

Our crib is set up in our room. I’m hoping to start baby girl there from day one. Our 2 year old still ends up in our bed at some point every night 🤪 so I don’t want to start cosleeping with #3

Answer

We have a bassinet in our bedroom that she’ll sleep in the first 5-6 months, then she’ll go into her crib

Answer

I have a mini crib that baby will sleep in until I got back to work, around 5 months old.

Answer

Bassinet beside my bed until 2 months and then into crib. Did that with my first and the transition was perfect, both her and I were ready.

Answer

I have a halo bassinet that the baby will sleep in until she is at least 6 months in our room. My daughter just turned two and she has been sleeping in her crib since she was 6 months also. I’ll keep her in her crib until she starts trying to climb out of it then start the transition into a toddler bed.

Answer

Bassinet then Montessori style bed (mattress on floor). 
We will probably end up bed-sharing like we do with my toddler.
