If I could do it again, I would have moved him to his own room sooner. We all slept much better once we moved him. th_momma on "Where did your LO sleep as a newborn?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-lo-sleep-as-a-newborn/page/2#post-651204 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 05:25:45 +0000 th_momma 651204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Bassinet by our bed until she outgrew it at two months. I was really hesitant to put her into her own room, but it was a great move. We both slept better because we didn't have to tiptoe around her at night when we got ready for bed.

Until he grew out of it at around 2 months (and all our visitors had gone home so the nursery was finally free!) and we moved him to his cot. If we hasn't had visitors for so long using the nursery, I imagine we would have moved him earlier, like 6 weeks or so maybe?

Naps happen wherever. Sometimes on me, sometimes on the floor under her activity gym, sometimes in the swing, sometimes (but rarely) in the pack n play. We're trying to do more pack n play naps to get her ready for day care. travelgirl1 on "Where did your LO sleep as a newborn?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-lo-sleep-as-a-newborn#post-651022 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:51:59 +0000 travelgirl1 651022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She slept on my chest for about a week, then in a moses basket and then after about eight weeks went into her crib.

He sleeps really well in this thing in the bed with us! I like it because it allows most of the benefits of co-bedding, but is safer.
