Bassinet, Cradle, co-sleeper?

Which are you using to put your baby in when they first come home from the hospital. I am really undecided about this? Also, if you could post where you get this, I would apprecaite it! Thanks yet again!!!

I registered for a co-sleeper at babies-r-us to put on my side of the bed. Our bedroom isn't huge and this fits better.

Ours are going straight to crib (both in one) in the nursery. I'm lucky that the room is so big that I can also fit a queen size bed in there so I can sleep and feed them.

I was too worried about a future transition to crib so I figured we would start from day one.

We got a mini-co-sleeper (Arms Reach) and then baby will go to a crib in its own room.

This is what I got and I LOVE it. I love having her right next to me and it makes night-time feedings so much easier.

I'm using the cradle I slept in as a baby - then the baby will go into a crib in his/her own room.

mini co sleeper!!!



question about these--it may sound silly, but what about the blanket that you are using on the bed. I would be nervous I would pull it over the baby. I really wanted to get these, but can't get over my nerves!

I also got the mini co-sleeper but did not attach it to my bed. I moved it away slightly so the blanket would not be a factor. I am paranoid tooChat Icon

Re: Bassinet, Cradle, co-sleeper?

I'm going to use the pack n play with the bassinet on the top in my room. I also bought one of these http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=cm_reviews_dp_seemore/602-0925090-2310245?ie=UTF8&coliid=&frombrowse=&alt%5Fview=custReviews&asin=B00012CHFI

I have a king size bed and it's just me in it, so I don't really have to worry about rolling over on top of the baby if the bassinet thing doesn't work out.

With my son, he never slept in his crib. It was more for decoration than anything. He always slept in my bed or in the swing or the bassinet. He just didn't like the crib at all.
