Maybe I'm just going through a last-minute panic, but now I'm about 4 weeks away from due date, and a first-time mom, so I'm rethinking everything.....We had all along planned on putting the baby to sleep in her crib in her nursery from the very first night we return from the hospital. It was recommended by the BB book, which was my initial resource, and also our pediatrician advised it as well - he suggested the longest we should use a bassinet in our room if we were to do so would be just a couple of weeks, since it's a good idea to get her used to sleeping in her crib as soon as possible. I didn't see the point in buying a bassinet for a few weeks so we were going to use the crib right away.
Reading through the posts I see that we're in the definite minority so now I'm getting a bit paranoid. Did anyone else use the nursery right away? Honestly in my naivete before reading up on the subject I thought everyone used a crib at first but now I can see I'm wrong.
Should I get a bassinet? Or stick to the original plan?
I'd love to hear from more experienced parents on the subject!
Thanks
