What is your baby going to sleep in?

Hello,
We are expecting our first baby in the next few weeks, and wanted to know what is best for the baby to sleep in?

Our doctor said that it's best if baby sleeps in our room for the first few months, but our bedroom is too small for the cotbed (which is in the nursery)

We looked at Moses baskets, but my sister said that they are not very good.

When I looked on the internet I have seen buggy carrycots which we will probably get as we are getting a Quinny Buzz - are these safe to use as a baby bed?

I also saw Shnuggle www.shnuggle.com which is like a car carrycot, but for use in the home. It says is better than a Moses bakset - has anyone used one of these?

We looked at the swinging cribs, which look lovely - but are quite expensive and cant move it downstairs easily!

I also found a lovely looking baby hammock www.babyhammocks.com/ which look lovely - but are they safe for a baby to sleep in long term? I'd be worried about curved backs!

HELP! As we don't know what to do....

DS (just under 9lbs) slept in a crib next to our bed for 6 months, till he started pulling himself up. It was a rocking crib but I kept it locked in position, the rock was a bit too rough! Daytime, napped in icandy carry cot, with extra mattress we'd bought to fit it.
6-7 months, cot in own room, and at 26 months into a single bed with bedguard.
I wouldn't put the baby in separate room till 6 months, though obv some people do.
Enjoy your new baby!

Wow - amazing response! I think it's definitely a Moses basket then! Don't want a noisy wicker one though as my sister swears against them!

Think I am going to get this one:- www.shnuggle.com/product/Shnuggle_%7C_Dotty_Rose_SHN-003

10% off and free delivery, so it seems like a good deal!

Has anyone else use one of these? They seem quite new, as there is no reviews anywhere yet!
