I used a bassinet with both of my boys when they were newborns, but it was mainly because someone gave us one, and I could see using a co-sleeper. I did co-sleep occasionally, but my husband was always afraid that he might roll over onto the baby. I never had that concern, and it certainly helped when I had gone back to work and had to nurse overnight.
I would often put him to bed in the bassinet, then bring him in bed with me later when he was ready to nurse. I think as mothers we have a certain awareness about our babies. I think the method you use is totally up to you and your partner's comfort level.
We had a spare bed so my husband would go sleep in there if he was concerned about the baby being in bed.
We used a bassinet then a crib and now we co sleep! All are effective just try out a few and see which work for you and baby!
You might want to consider a convertible lifetime bed. They are heavily built and there is no way for the baby to get in a situation to bring it harm. Child Craft has some of the best quality that we have found.
And you never have to worry about buying another bed until the child is grown because it converts to a toddler bed and full bed later on with the addition of bed rails.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
