I used a rock n play for the first few months and then.used her crib when.she was a little older

Mini crib in our room then after three months, he's for his crib in the nursery! Bassinets they out grow so quickly! The mini crib was given to us otherwise I'd just have the crib

Thank you ladies!! I hope we figure out something..

I'm getting both, I heard it's nice to have the baby sleep right by you in the bassinet for the first few months, since you'll be getting up a lot. And then I'll put her in the crib when she's around 3 months

@csteele, I plan to buy a 4 in 1 crib

I got a 3-1 crib.. so it goes from a crib, to a toddler bed, to a twin. But I feel like hell probably be sleeping with me the first few months.

My son jumped out of his bassinet at 4 months n hit his head... I haven't used one since. I have a convert a crib that we got for the nursery n I'm gonna get a pack n play with the all the extra accessories for a newborn to put in the bedroom or living room. I'll prob just use that until she's about 3 mo. Pack n plays can be used for a long time so I would choose one over a bassinet.

I got both, my son didn't really use the bassinet. He hated it, he slept with me until he was 4.5 or 5 months old then I moved him to his crib.

We opted for a pack n play that will stay in our room until baby is old enough to be in a crib. It's a conversion one that grows with the baby. It's by Greco and has a rocker and changing table included. We figured this was the most economical idea too because it can be used for travel too

Crib. Definitely go for a converting bed that will let you move the mattress down as the baby starts standing and then eventually allows you to take the front bars off so it can convert into a toddler bed. Bassinets seem pointless to me, but pack and plays can be handy for quick naps in the living room while you clean/cook or if you visit family/friends.

For my daughter I had a bassinet she only used it for three months but I would still get the crib might as well have them get used to the crib

I am doing the same as @mommybear95.

I'm getting both bassinet for the livingroom and crib for he/she's bedroom. but I think cribs are better especially now that they have some that turn into beds when they are older :)

I got a bassinet and used it only once and my daughter is almost 2 months old. I know she hates to lay flat on her back and I am not comfortable with her sleeping in it due to her spitting up so bad.
