Hi ladies,
This is my first pregnany so I don't know much about baby gear...
I am confused about something and maybe you can help me. My house is a 2-story colonial house. So I had originally registered for 1 playpen (for the first floor) and 1 portable crib (for my bedroom, since baby will be sleeping next to me for the first 3 months).
A co-worker told me last week that she thinks it would be better to get a 2nd playpen instead of the portable crib. What do you think about this?
My thinking was that the portable crib is to function as a crib only; first in my house (for the first 3 months), and then I would take it to my MIL's house and it would stay there. The portable crib is good for babies up to 18 or 24 months (depending on their weight) so this way we don't need to pack a playpen everytime we go visit my in-laws... And for other trips we would still have the one playpen...
What do you think? Since I have no experience with these things it's so hard for me to figure this out!
Help?
