How many new moms actually use their cribs? My mom said not to worry about setting it up because I'll use the bassinet…

That's what I heard as well but I think a crib is good especially one that converts because you will have it a very long time rather than a bassinet

i do not.....not yet

it's good to set up the crib now at least so you have it done. once the baby is here it will be hard to do

better to set it up now while you don't have a baby in your arms.

I got the crib from a friend and I honestly have no clue if it converts lol but I should probably ask! I just want to paint it cuz it's got some wear and tear from her moving a bunch. I just wanted to wait till after the baby because I'm so uncomfortable @phasion

Okay good then I'm not to worried about it @juliagail09

I haven't used mines at all and my little guy is about to be 5 months. I plan on starting soon though!

I bought this because I really don't want the big crib as of yet and plus I'll be having a c-section and this had great reviews specifically for c-section mommies @emmaanne

i have one and my baby is 4 months and i have yet to even set it up. its just sitting in our spare room(her room) lol she sleeps with me in bed or right next to me in her rock and play. but i think when i do decide to set it up ill put it in my room.

I love that bassinet I was hoping to get that but it's a bit pricey and I got the basinet I have now as a gift so I'll stick with this one for now. But if you get it let me know how amazing it is! @mrsalston

I got it, I actually pulled it out yesterday to make sure all the parts was there because if but by time I out it up it would've been to late to return... but I LOVE it.. Bigger than what I thought but overall I'm happy about my decision... @emmaanne

Yeah I know setting up before the baby seems easier but I still have work to do on it so I'm probably going to wait till I can actually bend and stretch lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one without it set up. So many people have adorable nurseries and it makes me jealous but I'm just thinking more practical to my life and I don't see myself using it any time soon. @juliagail09

Awesome!! I'm super jealous!!

@mrsalston,

well we got the 4 and 1 so it grows with him... but we got the pack and play because I want him to be able to sleep with us for the first few months

my fiance is just gonna set it up to give him something to do and so we can set up the rest his nursery

That's all I have set up actually other than the bassinet @cjw1095 I'm using the top little nap part as the changing table. So many uses for that thing!!!

Yeah both the crib and back and play have a changing part sooo well be good... but when we bring our son to see the rest of my family and friends the pack and play will be convenient for us to just pack it up and let him sleep in there

Once we move to Kansas I'll set it up because she will Sleep in her bassinet in my room for a while but I also think I wanna put her in her crib for naps so she gets used to it because once she's big enough to pull herself up in the bassinet I'm switching her to her crib

That's a really smart idea! I never thought of that. @santistevanmommie
