Nursery VS our bedroom ???

[worldofwisdom]

Do we set up our bedroom with our babies bassinet, change table etc?? I've heard that you are meant to keep bubs in the same room for 12 months ? Can anyone help. I have already started another room as the nursery...

[worldofwisdom]

I agree. I have my bassinet all set up next to our bed but I was just curious and wondering whether to get a chair in here, a night lamp and the change table for changing? It might make it easier I think!

my midwife advised me on a moses basket fir the first six months so im close to baby. (when hes here i know ill be panicking at nghts as cotdeath is very common now a days so ill be watching him like a hawk)! my son has his own room and everything that he could possibly need all ready and waiting for him when hes reached the age where hes comfertable/and i. having your baby in a moses basket beside you may prove easier, your not running from room to room during the night, you have peace of mind, and tyere right by ur side which they can feel. i personally dont believe in putting a newborn straight into a room on its own, i fear they could end up feeling ababdoned as they cant sense you.. just my veiws though!

our baby boy will be sleeping in our bedroom right next to the bed in his crib for the first 6 months. I'm also breastfeeding & it will be easier this way. Plus i know when he's first born i'm going to be extremely paranoid & would want to keep my eye on him. Later on we're going to switch him to the nursery.

I have a whole nursery set up with crib changing table and glider with ottoman but I also have a sleep and play that will be at my bed side for the first couple months and a play pen with a bassinet and changing table ill keep in living room. I plan on brrastfeeding for as long as I can so I feel my son wbeing next to me will be much easier. Plus I feel he would be too tiny to be that far away in his own room lol but thats just me

Thanks for sharing ladies. Now I have some shifting to do in the morning. ;)

I have the nursery all set up (except my cot which I'm waiting on being delivered) with changing table, feeding chair etc, but for the first 6 months or so, baby will be sleeping in a Moses basket in my bedroom as recommended by midwife x

We had each of our 4 in with us until around 8 months, then they moved into their own room or with their other siblings. It is advised to have baby in with you for the first 6 months at least as it can reduce the risk of SIDS. I found that by 8 months though we disturbed our little ones more at night when they were in with us which is why we moved them.

Every one is different. I personally keep a bed side bassinet and co sleep until they are no longer breastfed. I breastfeed exclusively as long as I can so this is easiest and what works for me.
Both my children did just fine sleeping on their own in a toddler bed at one year. But they also were early walkers and new were I would be.
They did have a crib and nursery as well but it did not get used until 6 or so months.

They reccomend the baby stays near you for 3 months  then after that go to its own room

We are setting up a nursery but having a bassinet in our room. He won't sleep in bed with us but in our room until I feel comfortable

[worldofwisdom]

So, should I look at getting a feeding chair for the nursery and a night lamp? Then just keep the bassinet in our bedroom for the first couple of months. Such big decisions.

We set up a nursery but for the first 3 or 4 months he's gonna stay in our room in a bassinet

[EricaMeria]

Yep. But every family situation is unique and you have to make a decision that best supports that. I'm sure it will work out whatever you choose to do. I know lots of parents who start their kiddos in a bassinet in their room and move them to the nursery a few months later.

I doubt you will want baby in the room for an entire year. Then that might become a habit you have to break. Im going to set up a nursery, but have a bassinet for nights baby is just cranky and for the first few weeks.

[worldofwisdom]

Will you just have a monitor next to your bed?

Personally my husband and I are setting up a nursery. I want my room to be the one room in the house for just us as long as possible. Plus it teaches them to fall asleep in their cribs and self soothe a little earlier. But I'm also an infant teacher and so I know they will need to have those skills when I bring them to work with me. And my husband is still a student so I plan on doing all the getting up at night so he can sleep.
