Byron is only 11 days old atm but of a night he sleeps in the bassinette in our room and during the day he sleeps in his own cot i the nursery or in the swing in the loungeroom or sometimes (like today) if he is unsettled i will breastfeed him laying down in our bed and we will both fall asleep there. Right now he doesnt have any issues about where he falls asleep, as long as he is comfortable.
Try it and do what works best for you guys.
we used both from the beginning, and mixed it up between day and night.
DS was always going to only have a few months in the hammock bcause he was so long, so I didn't want him to get used only to it, but it was great because I could move it from one room to the next.
He was still a little jaundice when we came home from hospital so I could move him in front of whichever window had the most sunlight coming through it.
Thanks everyone for your responses. It's great to get some ideas.
I think we'll start first few days with bub in hammock sleeping in our room and during the day move hammock with me wherever I am (loungeroom etc)so bub can stay in it and then after a few days see if bub will sleep in cot in the nursery during the day time.
Sounds to me like it depends on the baby also so we'll just test it and see how we go
