Hi mom's and soon to be moms!! I am currently 37 weeks and preparing for our baby girl 😊 please share your advice on a bassinet. I have a crib and have been told that I should get a bassinet for my husband and I bedroom. Is it necessary to use a bassinet or should I put her in her crib in her room or If I get the bassinet how long do I allow her to sleep in it before transitioning her to her crib? Thanks so much for sharing!!

@noturprops thanks so much, this is my first and I feel I will probably have some separation anxiety as well so I will probably end up getting the bassinet 😊
@bwjones6 Depending on how big of a bassinet you get, I let my daughter sleep in one until she was 8 months old, then I put her in her crib...in my room because I had a lot of separation anxiety and drove myself crazy going in and out of her room all night. Mind you, it was right beside mine I didn't sleep well because I was constantly worried about her. I was a new mommy and it happens. Lol There for awhile, it was just her and I. It definitely added to me wanting her close in my room. I think you'll know when it's right for you and you will not receive any shame from me! 🤨
I went straight to crib mainly because my bedroom isn’t big enough for a bassinet. We didn’t breastfeed very long, but mainly because of severe ties and latch issues, but it definitely would’ve been easier for night feeds if he was in with us
@db413 thanks so much, that's what I was thinking it would be easier for night time feeding
We have both. There’s nothing wrong with straight up using a crib. Personally I found the bassinet to make the first few months easier with night time feedings cuz then I didn’t have to get out of bed.
We used the bassinet next to us the first few weeks when he was eating every two hours, but by about 4 weeks it had spaced out and since I'm a light sleeper we had to move him to his rib in his room or I'd get snow sleep!
