sleeping arrangements?
Hi I was just wondering who still had their baby in the bedroom with them? Lizzie is still in her crib in our room although her nursery has been ready since before she was born! I really should move her into her room. Did everyone find their LO's slept better in their own room? I just think Lizzie will have more room in her cot as at the moment she keeps getting her foot inbetween the bars of the crib!

my son was in his own room at 3 months and we put jasmine in hers at 6 weeks as we just woke each other up all night long.she was in the moses basket inside the cot at first and is now in the cot - she loves it! she has slept a dream ever since and i find it much more relaxing without her there as i know she is right next door and perfectly safe. she has most naps in her room as well and im sure she sleeps better like that.
Go for it hun!!!xxxx
he loves to wriggle up the cot in the night and often find him up the top in the morning or sideways
Its lovely having the nursery done up and using it properly. We do have one logistical issue though the bath is in our en suite and so we have all of Sara's changing stuff upstairs but she's downstairs (her ensuite is a shower...bit small for that at the moment!) so we end up running up and down stairs just to do nappies! - what do you all do? Have you got a couple of changing mats etc? Or do you all just run up and down stairs all day like me?! Good little work out though!

i have spoken to huuby and we are going to mobve her at the weekend as hubby is home at weekends so it wont matter if she wakes as he doesnt have work followiong day.
in regards to changing nappies. i bring a nappy bag downstairs with nappies, wipes and bags in for the day and we have a changing mat downstairs which we put down side of sofa when we are not using it.
I want to keep him in room as long as possible I am just not ready yet to let my baby move yet but that could be down to the way I am feeling these days
Saw health visitor on Monday she wants me to get out and do loads seeing doctor tomorrow so will see what she says. Am feeling a little better this week not as low but there is still something there
I also run up and down the stairs all day to the nursery to change her!

hello my lovely
it might be worth bringing the cotbed into your room and putting the basket in the cot so she is use to the new surroundings ie the bars, it is advised to have LO with you until 6 months and if it working for you i'd stick with it
She loves the cot so far, she gets really excited as there is lots of room and the mobile can turn properly whereas it was static in the moses basket.
So she's still in with us, she's still waking up twice in the night for milk so as I'm BF it's so easy to get to her. We do have a room for the nursery but it's a study/junk room at the mo and needs decorating and we both can't be bothered to sort it out just yet! Will probably keep her in with us until she's 6 months as she's quite a good sleeper inbetween feeds.
Speaking of the LO, she's just woken up from her nap! Fay x
Dylan has been in his own room since he was 5 days old (he only slept in our bedroom for two nights). I was actually advised to move him by my midwife as the smell of my milk was keeping him awake constantly. He is also a very noisy baby and is always groaning and mumbling. He slept in his moses basket inside the cot for the first 8 weeks and is now in the cot, he doesn't have daytime naps in the cot though as I seem to be constantly out and about at the minute.

he's an awful sleeper during the day...infact doesn't sleep really and cries all day becasue he's tried but after bath/bottle at 6pm he'll usually settle for at least 4 hours (some nights 9hours). on the one hand i do think we disturb him when we're in there and he definately disturbs us with his noisy sleeping but I am so scared to put him in his own room incase we loose that 4 hours+ that he doesn sleep (does that make sense) I suppose we could move him for a night and see how it goes but then if he doesn't sleep I'll have nothing to look forward too lol
I plan to keep her in our room until around 1. Because she's so small I think she'll be in her crib for a long time yet. Otherwise we'll probably move the cotbed in, depending on when she outgrows the crib.
Her nursery has also been ready since before she was born but I just don't feel ready to move her yet and they advise them being in with you for at least the first 6 months anyway.
I think we're really lucky because she sleeps really well at night. Most days she wakes up around 6am and chatters to herself for almost an hour which does wake us up but we don't mind
