no your not. i have a pack and play that i used a lot with both of my kids. i would use those at hotels over the dirty hotel cribs. i know hotel cribs dont get cleaned because i was a manager at one for years.
i also purchased pack and play fitted sheets so if one of them spit up or peed in it i could easily wash it.
i have a graco pack and play with lot of attachments like a sun shade, bassinet, changing table, and it has wheels so it can easily be moved. i love it.I need mommies advice help!!!!?
You are in no way a bad mother for having a pack 'n play and no crib. Babies don't need 99% of the stuff we insist on buying them, including a crib. They just need mom, milk, dry diapers and warm clothes and a safe place to sleep which a pack 'n play provides.
i would never call you a bsd mommy im sure you will do great buy i warn you this could be challenging....children are very resiliant however there may be a point where all the moving may effect his/her attitude...so much moving can make them confused and insecure.i think for the first few months the baby wont mind as long as you are there but you may think about getting a place that is ';home'; i wish you the best of luck and congrats
I honestly don't think when they are a newborn, it really matters where they sleep, so long as they are safe and their needs are tended to.
So for the first few months, I don't think that is a major problem.
I do suspect that eventually you will want to find another solution. And some babies outgrow that bassinet pretty quickly.
our son slept in his for the first 4 months. once they start rolling over tho, I would suggest a crib. also, the bottom part of a pack and play is very hard and you can feel the metal through it. not good for your little ones back. good luck!
NO...
I can't imagine what your hubby's job is, but I would just be glad he wanted us w/him...You're not the first couple who's raised a child under
these circumstances (just think how great your child will handle change!),
so just do what you feel is best...
My sister never got a crib, nephew is just fine and if you move constantly then a pack and play is perfect as long as it is good quality. It all goes by what your lifestyle. DON'T LET ANYONE MAKE YOU THINK YOU ARE A BAD MOM. Bad moms are the ones that just don't care about the child at all and only care for them selves. My son has a crib and it works for me but like I said my sister does the pack and play due to limited space and easy to remove if company come over.
Absolutely Not!!! There are so many parents that still co-sleep even though the warnings of death by suffocation due to sleeping WITH their babies is still a real problem.
I live in a ';house'; and I have a crib BUT before the crib was purchased and/or put up I had a pack n play. Our daughter was into her second month when I was able to put the crib up and a few weeks later there was a recall on the crib. We were directed to find a safe alternative sleeping arrangement for our bay and that is her pack n play.
Just because you don't do what others might do doesn't make you a bad parent/mother. Now, by the time your baby reaches school age you will hopefully have a stable environment for him/her. Still, that will not make you a bad mother if you do not conform to others ways.
I can't help you on the pack %26amp; play, but if you ever want a more stable environment, move to the gulf coast Texas area. My bf is a boilermaker or pipefitter depending on the job, and he will have to work out of town occasionally, but nowhere near as every 6 weeks. His jobs tend to be local and last usually 3-6 months!
We live in a town about 30 miles east of Houston.
By the way, I think the lack of crib is fine. I know plenty of people with babies who rarely or never even use their cribs bc their mommies can't stand to be away from them!
