I want to find a bassinet that I can put beside me so he's not in my bed all the time. I like room to spread out sometimes :) I’d put my baby in a crib next to me, but there’s just no extra room!

So many parents stop before they get to the safety measures. I do want to mention that when we are talking about infants that die in cribs, we are rarely talking about a safe crib. When doing the scene investigation, the crib typically has bumpers, quilts, stuffed animals, pillows and even laundry in it. A Safe crib with nothing but a fitted sheet and a baby in it - in mom's room is the safest way to go in the United States. Our mattresses are soft. We use pillows and blankets. Most countries in the world do not. We are also concerned about the "over tired parent". What parent of an infant is not over tired? The time that a parent is most likely to bring an infant into bed is when Mom just can't survive one more minute without some sleep. It's only for a few months. Why risk it? Sleep baby in a safe crib in Mom's room. Bring baby into your bed to breastfeed, play, snuggle and cuddle but when it's time to sleep, put baby in their own safe space.
