[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. It’s hard to reply back to each post individually, so I’m going to do it all here.

We both work and our HHI is low 300’s. We have a good amount of savings.

We definitely aren’t being cheap about big ticket items - Green Guard crib, carseat, stroller, etc. The rocker/glider is also expensive, but I’ve read not to cheap out in that.

I think the basinet is crazy, but If she really wants it, we can try to get it on sale.

We definitely will not be co-sleeping. It’s highly dangerous, and crazy anyone would even attempt to do it.

I never thought I would co-sleep. Our second kid would not sleep unless being held. At some point I had to give in after being up ALL NIGHT for 4 months when she would not sleep like my first. She also did not sleep through the night until 2.5 years old. You just never know what is going to happen. For what it is worth, our first kid slept in a $150 bassinet for 4 months. After that, we spent a lot on nice furniture--crib, dresser, nightstand, Dutalier glider that was $600. Our changing table was cheap from Babies R Us. I did not buy any of this stuff until right after the first kid was born (except bassinet and car seat). We used all of it for the second kid and it was worth the money. Our HHI was the same as yours when the first kid was born. I kept a spreadsheet of everything I spent the first year of life and it totaled $7,000. We used it all for the second kid and barely spent any on that kid (same gender second kid). [/quote]

OP here. I am sorry about your situation, but we are confident in never co-sleeping. We will sleep train at appropriate age, take shifts, hire a night nurse, etc., but are both adamant co-sleeping will never happen. We will already be taking shifts for feeding, and I plan to be just as apart of the night sleep isssue as she is. She won’t be doing it alone. [/quote]
