[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey all, FTM mom here with few friends with have children. I am confused about whether to get a bassinet and a crib. I was planning to have a crib in the nursery (my brother is giving us his 3 year old's really nice crib) and then a bassinet for our bedroom for the first few months. The American Pediatric association recommends the baby sleep in room with parent for a few months or so due to SID prevention, so I am willing to do whatever is considered safest. Also i see lots of Moms on here do this. I was planning to have bassinet in bedroom and then move to crib  in nursery after a few months. [b]However, now I am reading that bassinets are considered unsafe compared to crib.[/b] So I'm confused! Do I just move the crib into the bedroom? Seems weird. Are bassinets considered unsafe in general because some of them have had issues compared to cribs. I was thinking if I get a safe and well regarded bassinet with firm mattress that it would be just as safe as having a crib in our room, no? Anyway, I am all over the place clearly and likely obsessing over details as a FTM and overthinking things. Any advice from your seasoned moms would be awesome![/quote]

I've never heard this. Source?

I believe as long as you, as you pointed out, get a safe bassinet with a firm mattress, it's perfectly safe. I think that's what most people do. [/quote]
