You may have heard that all three work for newborn sleep. Bassinets, mini cribs and playards: What’s the difference? Once baby has reached this milestone or the weight limit - whichever comes first - she should be transferred to a crib. Additionally, most bassinets have clear weight limits, which can also put an end to your baby’s time in the bassinet - even before she can roll over.
“The rule of thumb is, when the infant is active and starting to roll over, it would be wise to have the infant sleep in the crib,” says Pedulla. One important thing to keep in mind, though: While the AAP recommends room sharing for 6 to 12 months, most babies grow out of bassinets by the time they are 3 or 4 months old, sometimes sooner.
And if you're recovering from a C-section, you may also find that the lower height of a bassinet makes it easier to lift baby in and out - with a standard crib, there are higher sides to lean over. Having baby by your bedside can help facilitate late-night feedings, bedtime bonding and nighttime comforting. Though not a necessity - a newborn can go straight into a crib - many parents find bassinets incredibly helpful in the early days due to their convenience and portability, says Michele Pedulla, D.N.P., a pediatric nurse practitioner and associate professor at Regis College. If you're planning on using a bassinet, you should have it ready to go as soon as your baby comes home from the hospital. "This makes it easier for them to have their baby sleep in their room." How long does baby sleep in a bassinet?
