I'm Really & Truly Confused....(baby sleeping situation)

okay so.....here's the situation....and i'm sorry it's so long - but i'm at a loss!

we live in a 2 bedroom apartment. the baby's room is at the other end of the apartment (we have the 2nd floor of a duplex - so it's NOT nearby)....for the first few months, until we move her into a crib - i will NOT be okay with her being in her own room....

i had WANTED to get a co-sleeper (holds up to 30 pounds) and put it in our bedroom. we registered for a pack n play and i just noticed that it can hold to 30 pounds too (we got this at our shower).

would we be silly to get the co-sleeper too??

if we DO use the pack n play for to sleep in - in our bedroom.....it won't really be portable to go to the living room for 'during the day activity' - since it's larger - and once it's in the space we intend it to be - getting it out will be a BEAR!!!

I also found this - should we maybe either have her sleep in THIS in the bedroom and use the pack n play in the living room or vice versa (use this in the living room for during the day and nightime in the pack n play)??? (this item only holds to 15 pounds)

Re: I'm Really & Truly Confused....(baby sleeping situation)

Since you live in an apartment that is one level, I would stick with the Pack n play. You will get more use out of it and it is one less thing to store.
If you were in a bi-level home I would say keep the co-sleeper in your room and the pack-n-play on your main level so it is easier for diaper changes and naps when they are newborns.
If you are unsure still, you can barrow the bassinet that I have. It is similar to the one you posted. My DS was in it until 3 months and DD until 2 months. Once they started to move around more they were waking themselves up and that is when I moved them into the crib.
