For the first several months, you’re going to want your baby to sleep in the room with you. So you really won’t even use the crib the first few months, except maybe for daytime naps.
Not only will you likely just want your brand new baby close by at all times, but it also makes those middle of the night feedings MUCH easier.
You’ll likely be getting up every 2-3 hours to feed, so it’s much more convenient to just reach over and grab them, then having to get out of bed, and go into their room that many times throughout the night.
