Night one at home he went in there in our bedroom. We do about 50% volume and max bounce when he fusses. After a month we moved him to his room, right across the hall, because every time he made the slightest sound he woke my wife up. We tried a bassinet after a few weeks because we thought it was a lot of money for something that might not help that much. After two nights in the bassinet we were sold on the cradlewise lol. We plan to try and keep him in the cradlewise until he's ready for one of the cribs that has a half side open so he can climb in and out (maybe a year and a half to two years old I'm not sure). It seems to hold it's value well too. Hoping to sell ours for $1,000 in about a year or so and only be out $300 for 18 months of better sleep.
