can someone explain to me exactly what co-sleeping is? I'm guessing it obviously means the baby sleeps in your room but where? I definitely want to have my little girl sleeping in my room for a while, anyone help?

yeah I was thinking something still because that might make her dizzy to be swinging that long. I found a bassinet at wal mart so I guess I'll just get that

I personally wouldnt do a swing. Get a sleeper rocker its like a bassenet but will last up to 12 months even though you shouldnt let them sleep in it past the time they start rolling over. A swing isnt recomended for sleeping at night and the rocker is safer since its mesh sides and plastic seat built in under the padding.

thank you ladies so much! I definitely plan to breast feed, so she'll have either a bassinet or swing to sleep in in our room

I have a sleeper rocker for my son to sleep in for the first few months. It has mesh sides which was a big deal for me since I dont want him to turn his head and suffocate. I dont have room for a crib so we are using a pack and play with a mattress in it after he out grows the rocker. I just want him next to me so I can grab him up and breast feed without havin to get up and waking my fiance for the first few months.

I found it easier breast feeding and him in the room. But of course me being me I did have him sleep on my chest in bed with me every so often. Now he sleeps in his rock on play or swing.

Yes! I put my son in his room every so often so he's familiar with it of course

Just in the same room or bed. I have a little bassinet made to keep in the bed with you so they aren't in any danger. But usually he sleeps in his pack and play next to the bed!

It could be as simple as your bedside or even in the bed with you.
