BTDT - 2nd time around moms with baby and toddler sharing a room -come in!

We are expecting baby #2 in April and DS will be a little over 2.5 years old. With DS, we put him straight in his room in a bassinet and within about a week he was in his crib. I would love to so the same with this baby too but don't want to disturb DS with middle of the night baby wake-ups and feedings. So what did you do?? Did you put a bassinet, portable crib, playard in your room until they slept through the night? What did you use (actualy name of the product)? Thanks for any advice and suggestions!

I kept the bassinet in my room for the first few months bc I didn't want to wake my dd up

Not BTDT but we plan on keeping DC#2 in our room for a few months until he/she sleeps through the night (in the pack n play). Plus I will be nursing again (hopefully) so it'll just be easier. DD will be exactly 2 when this one is born so I'm hoping by the time she's 26-28 months we can move her to the toddler bed and soon after move the baby to the crib.

Keeping the baby in our room until he starts to sleep through the night. I'm also planning on nursing and it is much easier having him right next to me.
My DS sleeps great and I want to keep it that way. They will be exactly 3 years apart.
