How to Raise a Baby in a Small Apartment

My husband and I were adamant that our son would have his own nursery right away, but in hindsight that wasn't entirely necessary. For the first couple months of his life he may have started out in his room, but would end up either in a bassinet or co-sleeping with us.

It may not be ideal, or even an option for your family, but keeping the baby in your bedroom for as long as you can stand it might be helpful in preserving space and sanity. Since this is also the current recommendation to help prevent SIDS, it also serves a practical sense.
