i have both here in the house. a bassinet in the basement (where my bed is) and a crib upstairs in his room. so basically....if i happen to be upstairs..he`ll be in his crib, if i`m downstairs, he`ll be in his bassinet.

We are either going to use the Snuggle Nest, which is a little bed for the baby the goes in your bed, or a co-sleeper, like a pack n play, just smaller and it goes right up next to your bed. We will still be in a 1 bedroom when the baby is born and we don`t have much room for a crib, so this will be our solution until we move.

my mom is gettin me a play yard thing. its got a place to put the mattress up high so a new born can slp in it. it also comes with a changing table all in one....so i can keep it by my side at night when its asleep. i dont agree with having it in ur bed with you. #1 cause you might forget for a second its there and #2 once its in your bed you dont want to put it anywhere else. my nephew whose almost 15months started in his parents bed...and still is there! So no not in the bed!

When done properly co-sleeping does reduce SIDS. Here`s a link. http://www.babyreference.com/sleepingandSIDS.htm

I was just wondering about the information that was given to you saying that having the baby sleep in the bed with you reduces the risk of SIDS so I looked it up. Here is some info that might be of some help to you. Is Cosleeping Safe? Despite the possible pros, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns parents not to place their infants to sleep in adult beds, stating that the practice puts babies at risk of suffocation and strangulation. And the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is in agreement with the CPSC. Cosleeping is a widespread practice in many non-Western cultures. However, differences in mattresses, bedding, and other cultural practices may account for the lower risk in these countries as compared with the United States. According to the CPSC, at least 515 deaths were linked to infants and toddlers sleeping in adult beds from January 1990 to December 1997. More than 75% of those deaths involved infants who were under 3 months old. Between January 1999 and December 2001, the CPSC reported that more than 100 children under the age of 2 years (98% were less than 1 year old) died after being placed to sleep on an adult bed.

I have a crib that I might scoot next to the bed. While I don`t want to get up throughout the night, I figure it might be a little added exercise that I could probably use. I opted out of the basinette because people in this room said that Baby will grow out of it relatively quickly and it just wasn`t worth the space and expense. I might even put Baby in bed with us, but I`m still not sure. They say that having baby in bed reduces the risk of SIDS, so...

I have a wooden Cradle with stationary legs, not rockers. Then on to the crib when the baby gets bigger.

My daughter started out in her crib. It was a possibility to have in our room b/c my husband has to go to work at 2:30am every morning...so he HAS to get to sleep. Also, my daughter, loves her room/crib and will just fall asleep with no problem, and I don`t have to worry with transitioning her, she`s already in her room.

A bassinet.. and I`ll put it right by my bed.

I`m opting for an in the bed sleeper, snug between me and daddy. I hope it works out because I don`t want to get out of bed a million times a night.

My baby will sleep in a beside the bed sleeer. It actually connects to the bed. I plan on nursing so I think that it will be nice to have the baby right there beside me. I would let it sleep in the bed but my husband would roll over on top of it LOL, he rolls over on me, so I am not going to chance that!!!
