Rent a co-sleeper
What is a co sleeper?
A co-sleeper is a crib that you can use as a separate crib, but also as a bedside bed. You then attach the co-sleeper to your own bed with safety straps. There is an upright side between the parental bed and the co-sleeper, which can be lowered so that you can easily reach your baby. That makes it ideal for feeding your baby at night. The co-sleeper is a beautiful and practical solution to have your baby close to you during the first months, while your baby is safely in his or her own bed.
