One of the things I stressed about the most when I was registering for baby items before Charlotte was born was choosing what she would sleep in for those first few weeks (before going into her own crib). I ended up emailing lots of moms I knew to ask them their opinions. I'm so happy that I talked through the decision with them, because in the end, I think we ended up with a perfect solution.
For the first 2 months of her life, Charlotte slept in our bedroom, right next to our bed in this. I thought is was a great option for us for so many reasons. Here are the highlights:
-It's small enough to be not-too-annoying to look at each day and night
-It's high enough off of the ground to not give me a back ache each time I lifted her in and out in the middle of the night
-AND it's so easy to break down and set up which (so far) has come in handy for two out-of-town trips we've taken. Once was at a hotel -- perfect solution! It fit right in between the two queen beds.
So all in all, I'm so glad for the recommendations and warnings from friends. This was a great choice for us... maybe it will be good for some of you who are looking for ideas as you prepare for your little one.
