Then she went in the bassinet portion of it for about a month when we moved her to her crib in her nursery.

The rnp takes up less space which is why we used it for DS2.

Before that it was a mess - we tried the bassinet next to my bed for about a week, then he slept in a swing for a couple weeks bc that was the only place he would sleep longer than 1.5 hrs and i slept on the couch since it was in the living room, then we tried pack n play in the bedroom and he would not have any of that so that lasted about 3 days. Finally brought him into my bed and we've BOTH been sleeping through the night ever since (he sleeps 8-9 hours now!). I don't recommend this bc now i never want him out of my bed and he really should be sleeping in his crib.

It was at the foot of our bed. We just moved the whole crib to her room when she was 6 months old. The only thing I'd do differently is maybe put the crib riiiight next to me,so I didn't have to get out if bed at all--although, with the crib at the end of our bed, my husband was equally likely to get up and get her. artsyfartsy on "If your baby slept in your room the first few months..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-slept-in-your-room-the-first-few-months#post-1936166 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 18:10:40 +0000 artsyfartsy 1936166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pack n play MapleMoose on "If your baby slept in your room the first few months..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-slept-in-your-room-the-first-few-months#post-1936163 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 18:08:38 +0000 MapleMoose 1936163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Rock n Play next to the bed BabyTsMom on "If your baby slept in your room the first few months..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-slept-in-your-room-the-first-few-months#post-1936149 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 17:41:42 +0000 BabyTsMom 1936149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ rock n play until 10-11 weeks. then moved him to his room and crib at the same time.

Until 5.5 mo (last weekend! Lol). I got a quilted sheet to put on it to make it slightly softer. Transitioned her into her room and crib at the same time. She is hyper aware of her surroundings so I think being in a new room threw her a little for falling asleep on her own, but the crib didn't seem to phase her at all.

With this one we are doing the PNP in our room until I feel comfortable moving him to his room. I am only using the PNP because we already have it, I was toying with the idea of a bassinet or RNP, but didn't want to spend the money. twodoghouse on "If your baby slept in your room the first few months..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-slept-in-your-room-the-first-few-months#post-1936081 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 16:09:17 +0000 twodoghouse 1936081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pack n play twin bassinet, although Alice slept about half the time in the swing in our room.

When she started seeming too big for it, we moved to her room. If you have one already, why not start with that?
