My daughter is 8 days old and has been sleeping in a bassinet beside our bed. How long should she sleep in the bassinet in the master bedroom before she can begin to sleep in the nursery? In case it matters, the nursery is across the hall from the master bedroom on the second floor of my house and we have baby monitoring video/audio equipment and we have the pads that prevent her from rolling over onto her stomach.


Answer
The people who are answering (so far) are giving you their opinions. But the AAP safe sleep guidelines (SIDS prevention) recommend that a baby be in the parents' room for 6 months or more. This is so that she can monitor your (more mature) sleep patterns. It as nothing to do with 'safety equipment" which can not substitute for a parents' presence.

Where did your newborn sleep for the first few months?

I was thinking that my baby would sleep in a bassinet next to my bed for the first couple months, then would start sleeping in the crib in the nursery after a couple months. Is this normally how it goes? My husband was thinking that the baby would start out in the crib in the nursery and we'd have a baby monitor. Experiences and advice are greatly appreciated!


Answer
People do it both ways. It just depends on what works for you. They can do fine in the crib, and you will probably get better sleep. Babies are really loud. There are all sorts of little noises they make and if they are right next to you, you will be up all the time listening to them and wondering if they are okay. Then again it isn't as far to get them when they wake and need attention. I personally think the crib is fine, and no monitor needed unless your room is really far away from the baby room. Trust me, when the baby wakes and cries you will hear it!
