Expecting mom won't let SIL's baby take nap in her child's crib; gets called 'selfish.'

Originally post by u/Rare_Subject_5950:AITA for not wanting another child using my baby&#39;s stuff? My husband and me are expecting our first baby every moment now. We bought everything and I already prepared the bed, the stroller and all other stuff for our child.  My SIL visited us yesterday with her baby (2months old). All was well until my niece got tired and had to take a nap. So my SIL asked to use our crib.  Well... I don&#39;t feel comfortable with another child using my newborn&#39;s stuff. I can&#39;t explain why. It&#39;s just how I feel. So I said no. It got awkward so they left.  Today I saw that my MIL texted my husband that I acted like an AH. She also thinks that I am selfish and spoiled. I feel like I could have said yes and the baby could have had a nice nap but I also think that I am right for wanting my baby be the first to sleep in its own bed. So AITA? Questions, answers and comments:Note: There were a lot of comments about letting the baby sleep in a car seat, with some people saying that&#39;s unsafe, and other people saying it&#39;s not. We&#39;ll leave most of them out, but know that was discussed ad infinitum.PrestigiousWedding36 says: You do realize that two month olds don&rsquo;t have a nap schedule.
