My DD1 went straight into a cot from birth following the SIDS guidelines, I got a free bassinett from a friend for DD2 (DD1 wasn't in a big bed yet and I didn't want to rush her into a big bed) and used that till the cot was set up again for DD2 to use.

Baby #3 will use the bassinett till he/she grows out of it as it does come in handy rolling baby around the house so he/she isn't alone to sleep.........All my kids sleep in the lounge room with the noise during the day and in a quiet room at night time when they are new.

Cheers,

Beck
