I generally agree, but only because there’s no time for a big project like that with an infant around

But not everyone uses a crib right away — we do a combination of bassinet and co-sleeping with our ~4mo. Probably time to still build that crib if woodworking is your down time

Edit: though my wife would never have gone for an idea like that, she got the nesting bug pretty hard

I use the just-in-time method of building things. I was spending the time before he was born building the changing tables and dressers for all his clothing.
