spinoff to newborn right away in crib....

...how has this worked out for those who BF...TIA, Im not a mommy yet, but due in 8 weeks and trying to plan!

Re: spinoff to newborn right away in crib....

I sure you can do it without a problem. DD was eating every 2-4 hours for the first 5 weeks so for us it was easiest to keep her next to the bed (esp since I had a c-section). As long as you don't mind getting up and going into the baby's room I don't see any reason that they can't go right into the crib.

bfing is why i kept my dd in co-sleeper next to my bed, otherwise she would have went right into crib.

Re: spinoff to newborn right away in crib....

I BF and used the co-sleeper.

My mom BFed both me and my sister. She had me in the crib from the beginning and says that she ended up sleeping on the floor in the nursery. When my sister came along, they put the craddle in their bedroom.

I'm not saying that you can't put the baby in their room from the beginning. It's just a lot less disruptive to have them right there with you.
