we used a pack n play with bassinet attachment until 5months

is really up to you but they have bassinets, also little bassinets like that go on your bed,I even know people who just use their play pen for the baby.

I don't plan on getting on right away. Just a bassinet to put by the bed

I got a rock and play for my son , the snuggle them tight and some vibrate or play music .

I co sleep, but you could use a bassinet or play pen. Both are smaller and cheaper. I started out with a crib in her nursery and a play pen beside the bed with the newborn attachment on top and she never did use any of them. haha. She slept in a swing for naps during the day.
