We had a nice big bassinet that Moo fitted into until he was 6 months old, we had him in our room until then. There wasn't much of an issue transitioning him into a cot in his own room after this.

I loved the bassinet and have got it out ready for this next bub. In the early weeks we'd wheel him out into whatever room I/we were in, when he got a little older he'd settle in our bedroom. It was so much easier for feeding etc and I really did miss the convenience when he moved to his own room!

You gotta do what works for you though
