Since she has been home she has been sleeping in our room at night in the bassinet part of her Pack n' Play (pretty much a portable crib with a changing table attachment) and having some of her naps in her nursery. It has worked out amazingly and I would highly recommend a similar situation for any new mom especially if you are recovering from a Cesarean. It really helped not having to walk too far to get her when she wakes or got fussy and be able to do everything within a couple of feet from my bed. Overall I think having her nearby helped a ton with recovery. Well, now that she is sleeping/waking at consistent times (3:00 AM and then again at 6:30-7:00 AM) and doesn't fuss when you do put her down, I decided that she should start sleeping in her own crib. Monday night was her first night and she did great and then Tuesday night was another success for both of us!
