So we co-sleep with our 3 month old baby and she's been napping on our rather tall bed too. My almost 70 year old mom (quite active) has been watching my baby and 5 year old while I'm working part time. I'm interested in getting baby her own floor bed (Montessori style) at some point soon, but my mom wants a crib for naps because she's worried about our wiggly baby falling off the bed (and I think the concern is valid). We share a room with baby and don't really have room for crib and floor bed. My mom is absolutely not comfortable with the idea of baby falling a floor bed and/or wriggling around unsupervised should she do so.
I never had a crib or playpen with dd1, but she didn't move like this baby does. I'm sort of anti-crib but I want everyone to be comfortable and it's only for napping. I'm wondering what anyone thinks about just getting the crib for now, then moving on to a floor bed when she's bigger. As I said- if it were just me I'd just get a floor bed but it's not just me. I wish we had a room for baby and I'd just get both!
