NYC moms: does your newborn sleep in your bedroom (in crib, moses basket, etc) or do they have their own room? I feel like I am depriving my newborn in our apartment because we don't have a playroom. I guess this is okay until they start crawling and walking? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I felt the same way - ds was born and we were in 1 br, but ds quickly got the bedroom all to himself when we slept in the living room one night and he slept thru for the 1st time! But no, he's not deprived. Its in your head. Would it be easier if he had his own space? maybe in some ways but harder in others [ Reply | More

I never realized that having a playroom was a necessity to growing up. I never did, and turned out ok. My kids will share a room. [ Reply | More

Play room is a luxury not a neccesity. I don't remember ever even hearing the word playroom growing up. [ Reply | More

DD slept in our room but in a crib. Then DH and I got demoted to the sofabed b/c we were all waking each other up. She really didn't need a playroom forever. She liked the sink, the fridge, tuperware... but we all hung out in the living room. I rotated toys from the closet and cleaned it up/you saw no toys really when it was clean. When she was two we got a bigger place, and she has a huge room, playdates, etc. She loves it but it really didn't matter that much. [ Reply | More

DB is sleeping in our 1BR now. Our lease will be up when he is 9 mos old and we will move to a 2BR then. Ideally I'd probably have moved him out a few months early but you make do w/ what you have, especially in New York! [ Reply | More
