Nursery or Your Bedroom

There are so many varying opinions out there regarding how to raise and care for your child. It is easy for a new parent to be confused about what is the best thing to do when it comes to... well everything!
One such topic is whether or not you should place your child in your bedroom or put them straight into the nursery to sleep after returning home from the hospital.
Some people believe that the baby should be in your room so that you can monitor them throughout the night, plus it is easier for when the baby wakes up during the night. Others recommend putting the baby in the crib in their nursery from the start to avoid the baby becoming accustomed to sleeping next to Mom and Dad. Then of course there are the concerns regarding SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) that are involved which makes the decision even more complex for new parents.
For my wife and I, we decided we wanted our son in our bedroom for the first week at home, before we would move him to his crib (at least to trial it). Based on this we decided to fore go the purchase of a bassinet for what would be such a short period of time, choosing instead to use the pack-n-play (review to come) we had purchased for when our son spent the night with his grandparents or auntie.
One week turned into two, possibly due to our boy waking three to four times a night (which is pretty good when they are so young), my wife recovering from her C-section, and my mother staying with us (she came over from England, where I am originally from, for two weeks). Then one night we decided to put the baby in his crib and put the monitor (review to come) on to listen out for him. That night he slept from 10pm till after 4am, not sure on the exact time he woke as I stayed up until 4am anxiously listening to the monitor to ensure he was still breathing, and as a result was so tired I did not hear when he did wake and cry for a feed.
Based on that successful night we decided to try it again the next evening... and he has been in his crib every night since.
The truth is you have to find out what works best for you and your baby, both with regards the sleeping situation and with what makes you comfortable. If that means having your child in your bedroom for a night, a week, a month or more then only you can make that decision based on your own feelings and experience.
Whatever you decide it is not wrong, and I wish you luck with it.
