Quick answers

Do I need a convertible crib?

Not strictly, but I do recommend one. The cost spread over toddler bed and daybed years is much better than buying a new bed twice.

How firm should the mattress be?

Very firm. If you can press it and your hand sinks more than half an inch, it's too soft for an infant. Safe sleep guidance is strict for a reason.
