Where does your baby sleep!?
Hello ladies (and babies!)
A few nights ago we made the decision to put Milly into her own room (she's 4 weeks old) to see if it helped her to sleep for longer (it did, the nights are much more bareable now), I find it much easier to breastfeed in there (with a nice chair, rather than trying to get comfy sat up in bed) and it means that DH doens't have to be awake all night as well so it seems to work for us and be a good move, but I just think she is so little to be in such a big cot, and I feel a bit mean.
So am I the only one, has anyone else put their LO into their own room yet?

having said that I am tempted to move him solely into nursery (in cot in moses bask) as the noises and whinging at night is making my nerves go on edge and I wonder if he would sleep better himislef. with son 1 I moved him at 6 weeks and honestly slept better myself. This all sounds very selfish but I don't want to get fraught like i did last time. I am a bit worried about cot death etc and all the advice to keep themin your room for 6mths.
hmm will give it a bit longer
Olly sleeps in our room in his moses basket and probably will do until hes about 1 as we already have a ds and a dd who have their own rooms so until we are happy for him to share with ds he will stay with us xx
We currently have DS with us all the time still, for the moment at least. So she sleeps downstairs in the lounge on a mat which she loves and then at night in a moses basket next to our bed. We've just bought a crib for our room though as we thought that will last her until 6 months and the moses basket possibly not. Then at 6 months she'll go in her own room. I'm thinking of starting to try to put her down in her room during the day though as of next week, as she's an awful sleeper during the day and I need to try and get her in a routine. Not sure how that will go though.
Becky & Heidi 6 weeks xxxx
we had them in our room once in the early days cos a midwife told us too but we couldn sleep with all the fidgeting and groans so the next mw said if it means we get a better sleep then put them in their own room.
They sleep in their moses baskets inside the cot at night. Same during the day if i can get then down but thats rare so they usually sleep on the feeding pillow on me!
i think the thing with them being in their own room is that they're not disturbed enough (ie little noises help keep them from drifting to sleep to deeply) but apparantly putting a ticking clock, or the suck like in the room, or if she shares with her older sister, or using a dummy etc can help to keep them 'disturbed' enough. xx
