Did your newborn sleep with you or in a crib?

When did you finally get them into a crib?

She's 7 months and we finally just felt comfortable enough to put her in the crib. My wife still moves her to the bed in the middle of the night. We had a bassinet for her until now.

@SW-User hahaa! It would be perfect if my little love would just fall asleep in his bassinet and then I'd probably bring him to bed later too, 😌❤️, but hasn't happened yet. The seperation anxiety is giving me anxiety! Congrats on your baby!!

@Notsimilarreally my wife would normally hold and feed her until she fell asleep. Before putting her in the basinet. She also had to be swaddled otherwise she'd wake herself up wit the random hand movements.

Thank you. Congrats to you too.

@SW-User I haven't tried swaddling. Babies like to be able to move around and use their bodies. All of mine like to put their arms upwards, which is very cute. I read it is because they get startled due to a falling sensation so they put their arms up as a reflex, and then they stay there. Sometimes it's because it is comfortable.

@SW-User eventually we gave her a swaddle suit where the arms stayed up. But kept her from startling herself.
