[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,

FTM here. After much thinking I gave in and got a bassinet. Once the baby grows out of the bassinet, then what? Do most people keep the crib in their bedroom for the first year or do they transition to something else before the crib? I've read you need to keep baby in bedroom 6 months to a year. I'm considering putting the crib up in the bedroom but it's big. What did everyone else do?[/quote]

I have  three children and all three slept in a crib in a separate room from day one.  All three are grown and never had a problem.  Ridiculous to keep child in room with you.

I know this is generational bc my MIL did this, but this makes no sense to me. The thought of bringing my newborn home and then putting them in a separate room all night is just so wrong to me on a cellular level. [/quote]

Cool. I needed sleep to not be suicidal. We all parent differently. [/quote]

+1 how do you sleep more with a newborn not in the room? I get it for an older infant, but I’ve had 3 newborns and this makes no sense to me. Every 2-3 hrs, you have to be jangled awake by crying (bc they’re further away and it takes longer to hear them), rush to their room bf the insane wailing starts, feed etc then put them back down in a crib alone in a room they don’t want to be alone in, then go back to your own room and try to clear the adrenaline so you can get an hour of sleep bf they are hungry again.

It seems like you must have had someone else caring for the newborn at nighttime, bc getting out of bed and walking to another room every couple of hours sounds much more excruciating then feeding/changing the baby from your room. [/quote][/quote]

I guess it depends on your home.  Baby's room is less than 10 steps down the hall.  We hear his first cry.  Baby does not know any different then being in his own room so no extra issue getting him down.  No transition down the road to get him in a crib in his own room.[/quote]
