For us...we sleep better having bubs in our room with us. This means we have a bassinette set up for the first 3 months, then sidecar a cot as an extension of our bed. Most often bubs will be in bed with us but it gives us that privacy and space when we feel we may need it.

I know when i first had dd I had her in a seperate room for the first few months and omg it was doing my head in continually checking her. I much rather just being able to feel, hear etc how bubby is doing.
