We have finally got the new nursery underway, but for the first few weeks and months with our second baby, we don’t actually expect to use that room a ton. I want it ready before the delivery, because I assume things will be crazy after that, but in the beginning, our new baby will stay in our bedroom with me.
In the beginning, I’ll use a Baby Nest a lot, both in our big bed at night, and in a crib or bassinet (or on the sofa or stroller or wherever) during the day. We may keep the crib we bought in our room in the beginning, or it can stay in the nursery and we’ll have another, or several other options for day sleep. I’m assuming I may need more hands-free time with this baby than I did with our last one… And having a one and a half-year-old around means I need to give extra thought to day sleep (or just safe places to put baby down in every room) options.
