We had a bassinette in our bedroom for both boys. DS1 moved into his cot (in his own room) at about 8 weeks because he got too big. DS2 was in our room for a week, he was soooo noisy he kept us awake (grunting and snoring mostly lol ) so in bassinette in his room. At 4 weeks he was too big and went into his cot. I plan one more child and have sold the bassinette I just have massive babies!

In reality, you won't know what works for you until bubs arrives. I personally wouldn't spend the money on the hammock if I didn't have to, but others swear by them
