newborn to about 4 months she slept in our room but since she started sleeping through the night at 2 months we just started doing naps here and there maybe the occasional night. then strictly naps by 3 months and started to add nights by 4 months.
I used a bassinet for month one, then pack and play for month two and month three she was in her crib. I started putting her in her crib after month 1 for naps to get her used to it
for the first 2-3 months I slept with baby on the couch then I just left him in the crib. picked him up if he cried for 15 mins then I'd check if he needed anything and laid him back down. I had it easy
