Hi ladies! I have been looking at this Nursery thread for months now, it has given me great ideas. yesterday was the 1st time I really looked at the baby store. I have a 2 bedroom apartment and for the first 6 months I want to keep the baby in the bedroom with me for health reasons. I was thinking of getting both a cradle (can be used until they are 6 months/35 lbs ish) to put in my bedroom and then a mini crib (which converts to a toddler bed) for the nursery (the door on the nursery is actually 1 wall that slides all the way open so its really like part of the living room if I open it). This way when the baby is napping during the day I don't have to keep running or staying in the bedroom? I can be in the living room. What do you think????
Sounds good to me... sounds a bit like our nursery.
We're having the baby in a moses basket or the family crib/cradle next to our bed first. And then when he's big enough we'll have him in a cot in the nursery, but our nursery is attatched to our bedroom, with double doors which are always open at the moment.... And I can see the cot from our bed. So we can keep an eye on him from our bed
How did you manage to stay out the baby store till now????? As soon as I found out I was pregnant I just got drawn to the baby shops... I just HAVE to go in there even if I've been in there a week or couple of weeks before..... I can't help it... haha.
ooh, thanks. I did some more research and most cribs only go to 20-25 lbs so hopefully that will last till baby is almost 6 months as a crib will not fit through my bedroom door. It would need to be assembled/disassembled every time. I am dying to do my nursery but my parents won't let me (tradition - not to bring anything home until after birth). But since we don't live in a place that is used to people who do that and cribs take 6-8 weeks I am going to start shopping soon and just ship it to my parents apt (they live in same apt building) and keep it in boxes If anyone can find a crib (american store) with a weight for a 6 months old let me know.
