Does anyone have a co-sleeper or planning to get one?

Nate's brother has offered to give us the one they have that they used for both his son and daughter, he and his wife totally recommend it to us so I was wondering what you all think?

Our original plan was a bassinet and/or a pack 'n' play, would you recommend them instead?

Thanks! I didn't think they'd be all these options.

I think a co sleeper is great if you are nursing because you just have to slide the baby over to you to nurse at night, if you wish to do it lying down. No need to get up and get the baby plus he/she is always right there beside you to check on but you still get your personal space/ don't have to worry about rolling over them (if you are one to worry about those things).

I've seen those and they are really neat! Right now our plans are a bassinet. But, I'd like to see experienced mom's inputs.

That's awesome! I'd totally accept it and try it out, if you don't like it you can pass it on or pass it back.

I have never used one, but the reasons I love the cosleeper because it has better support for the baby than a pack n play, and it's also on a better level to reach baby.

I suppose it's kinda the same as a bassinet? I don't know how different a cosleeper would be.. Although I know most cosleepers are adjustable so they are the same level as your bed, where a bassinet usually isn't adjustable.

I don't know if we'll end up getting one for this baby, but I would love to have one.

I agree, no harm in trying it out! You might find it's not for you - but you also may find it's perfect!

Sara slept in the bed with us in something similar to this:



This time around I'm not sure if I'll be using it again in our bed, but instead use the co-sleeper/positioner in her crib that will be on my side of the bed.

We are planning on using a bassinett, we aren't really crazy about baby sleeping in the bed with us but who knows that might change

Welllll our plan with Carly was to have her sleep in the bassinet on the pack and play, however, she had other ideas. She ended up sleeping in bed with me and DH slept on the floor Co sleeping like that was something I never wanted to do because it scares me too much.

So I think a co sleeper thing is a GREAT idea. Also that other thing someone posted looks like a great idea too, it would make me feel better about baby being in bed with us.

I will personally be doing the bassinet/pack and play, not because I think there is anything wrong with cosleepers, but I move around in my sleep way to much to have something so little in the bed with me. I worry about my cat some times. I think whatever you are comfortable with is an awesome choice.

If we had a bedroom big enough to accomodate a cosleeper I would totally use one. We actually cosleep with Rebecca regularly (about half the night every night) still, but I would want to be able to put baby into that little spot off to the side so as to make sure we four all fit, LOL. Rebecca can pretty much fend for herself, but I am not sure how she and a baby would do sharing the middle of the bed, LOL. We'll be using a bassinet, then playpen (in our room). Rebecca sleeps half the night in a bed in her room, maybe by then she'll sleep the full night... maybe...?
