Thoughts? 😊
What's your thoughts on skipping out on using a bassinet & going straight for the crib? We will have a pack & play, swing, bouncer, ect.. But back to going straight to a crib, I've never done this, I always used one but this time, with this little guy being a summer baby, I feel a bassinet will be a little to restricting of air flow. Our home will be nice and cool no problem there. I'm just not comfortable with the idea of a bassinet. Anyone else like this? Or done this? Did the baby be okay with the crib, or my worry is maybe the baby won't feel secure.

I'm on the same page! I got a crib, just don't know if it's not safe yet :(

I'm a ftm so I'm not really sure but I think if you swaddle the baby so they can't wiggle all over the crib I think it would be okay. I'm usuing a rock n play sleeper next to my bed bc I plan to breast feed and I think it will be easier to just reach over in the middle of the night to feed him. and the shape of the rock n play makes it so you don't really have to swaddle them. so he can sleep in his diaper or onesies so he doesn't over heat! that's my thoughts on it (: best of luck !

I never used a crib or bassinet. I've always coslept. I still do with my 2 yr old and 1 month old. I only use a bassinet when I'm cleaning my sheets and that's only for an hour or 2.

You can @oklahoma.girl55 but I'm not comfortable with that either. Lol I'm going to look into other types of ways to swaddle. I'll swaddle him on a daily basis with a blanket as long as I am there to watch him, but I don't wanna swaddle him in a blanket for bed, I've seen things they can actually wear and not get tangled up in. I'm gonna look into that.

@lilanne1927, I always end up accidentally cosleeping. Lol I plan on wearing him. So it's just depends on what makes him happy. Lol

I didn't plan on cosleeping but my oldest HATED sleeping alone so I ended up cosleeping and it was best for him and everybody to get sleep and most importantly mine and SOs sanity

my mom used strictly a crib with me and I was only in my own room with a monitor. I plan to do the same!

I've never used a bassinet. unless you get it free, it's a waste of money in my eyes.

I'm a first time mom, and my son isn't due til June, but we had no plans of using a bassinet until it was gifted to us. We were going to use something like a Rock N Play.
