Baby in own room from Day 1?
Hi,
I'm currently pregnant with our first and we feel quite strongly about Baby sleeping in his own room from the first day...I know this is an emotive subject but we live in a small house so ultimatly the baby's room is directly next to ours so I reason not much different from other people in larger houses having babies in their own!
Has anybody else given baby their own room from day 1? If you have I'd love your advice and / or suggestions!
Thanks

One thing I would say abouthaving them in beside you is its dead handy if your bfing as you dont have to get out of bed lol
just do whateve feels right for you mrs as long as you and your family are happy thats all that matters, although once born you may not be able to part a night lol good luck xx
She is now 20 weeks old and sleeps from 6:30/7pm straight through until around 7:30/8am. Even in the early weeks she only woke once or twice in the night, had a feed then went straight back to sleep.
I think as long as you can hear baby and their room is safe then I don't see the problem. Well it worked for us anyway.
Sorry Mande I don't have any experience of this but I would say do what you feel is right hun, and as you say the baby won't be far away. X

if you have done the research and know the risks then its really down to you.
I am thinking of moving Amelia into the nursery permanently when we come back from Cornwall when she'll be just over 14 weeks.
6 months in my opnion then into own room with monitor is my personal experience.
as for the reducing cot death issue, we have a loud ticking clock that is suppose to have the same effect as listening to you x
I'm not being funny but I really hope it's a reason other than the fact that baby might disturb your sleep, that's what babies do, there's absolutely no point in trying to keep things as they were before, it's not possible!
I apologise if you have a very good reason, personally I would never have dreamt of not having lo next to me in the same room, if there was even the tiniest tiniest chance that something might happen to her and I might not hear because she's in another room then hell no, she's still next to me at 18 weeks. Also, for a breastfed baby to sleep 3 hours between feeds is good, if you have to get up every 2-3 hours every night and go into another room its going to be much more tiring than leaning over into a moses basket next to your bed?
Also when lo came home for the first week or so she was still bringing up a lot of fluid, it sounded like she was choking all the time and it was really scary, she also needed turning and propping up a couple of times to stop her choking, again, easier and less scary because i could keep an eye on her next to me, just a thought...
Are you concerned that lo won't eventually be able to settle in their own room? Xx
