Happy Easter and Passover!
Recently my friend and I started planning a baby shower. She will be helping me set-up the registry and picking necessary items. I'm starting to feel pretty overwhelmed with the entire 'sleeping situation'. We are going to have a proper crib in the nursery - no question - but for the first few months, we want to have the baby sleep in our room. I was thinking of a bassinet, but my friend said its only good for the first few months and once he/she outgrows it, its packed away until the next baby. Instead, she suggested we look at a playard/pack'n'play. I'm really coming around to the idea! Especially since our family lives so far away (2-3 days worth of driving), we do plan on making the trek to see them after the baby is born.
So, experienced mums... what is your advice? Any brand or models that you recommend? We plan, in the very least, of traveling "home" to see our families next Easter (baby will be 6 months old). So I'm thinking of investing in a good playard that we can use when we travel to see our family and friends out of town.
