[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It doesn’t make me feel my baby is “ super special” to what a new, safe crib for him. I’m willing to budge on some things like clothes, swings, bouncers, etc., but not a crib or something important like a car seat. [/quote]

That's the thing though, OP - I'm not sure the aspects of a crib that you view as "super important" actually are.  Or even that a crib itself is is when they're tiny, because they barely use it.  They spend so much more time in the clothes and swings and bouncers in the early days (which are great to get second-hand).  You can get a "new, safe" crib from many sources, high and low budget.  FWIW, I did splurge on a nice mattress.

It's fine if you want to get a fancy crib.  But stop being defensive about it and stop acting like it's safer or something.[/quote]

Not OP but many people have their babies in their cribs from birth or after a couple of months. Even if the baby is transitioned to crib at six months, you will still get plenty of use out of the crib until the child transitions to a toddler bed. Many use a crib for a toddler bed or for another child. I think it’s fine that OP wants something she likes. Many times a crib is worth an investment if you plan on transitioning to toddler bed, have multiple kids use it, or for resale value. [/quote]

We used our Pottery Barn crib for two kid’s. We moved both kids in the cribs at 3 and 4 months old. We used the cribs before transitions them to the crib at night. Most of my friends had their babies sleeping in their cribs from birth or by 3 months. [/quote]

PP you're both quoting here and I agree that cribs definitely get use - mine are using theirs as toddler beds currently and they are well-loved (chewed, kicked, etc.).  They just don't use it a lot <3 months necessarily (or, mine didn't).  So I'm not saying cribs don't get used, just that it's not one of the things they're using constantly when they are tiny babies.[/quote]
