Sleep is an obsession for many new parents, and it’s easy to understand why: You’re not getting nearly enough, and yet you have to think about it all the time as you schedule naps and hope that (just this once) you all sleep through the night.

And since babies change so much in the first year, it seems like as soon as you’ve got naps and nights nailed down, your baby outgrows her bassinet — and suddenly it’s time to think about those sleeping arrangements all over again.

The transition from a Bedside Bassinet to a  Bedside Baby Crib may seem daunting, but don’t lose any sleep over it. Here are the answers to parents’ most frequently asked questions about making the switch.

How long should my baby sleep in a Bedside Bassinet and what age should I move her to a Bedside Bassinet?

Many newborns start their sleeping lives in a  Bedside Bassinet or other bedside sleeper in their parents' room. This is convenient since you can comfort and feed your infant in the middle of the night without shuffling down the hall in the dark. Plus, it follows the American Academy of Pediatrics’ advice that babies sleep in the same room as their parents — but not in the same bed — for the first six months and possibly up to a year.

If you’re wondering at what age a baby stops sleeping in a Bedside Bassinet, there isn’t a hard-and-fast rule. It depends on a combination of your particular bassinet’s weight limit and your child’s development 

Not a bassinet fan? Newborns can certainly sleep in a regular crib from day one. No matter what baby bed you choose in those early weeks and months, just be sure that it meets the latest crib safety guidelines from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
