Baby sleep in your room?

Hi

We had dd in our room for 7 mnths, I was bf'ing and was easier just to have her close by. She was in a bassinet first then we put cot up.
We plan to do the same with this one.

I know a few people who put bubs in own room straight away, and some who couldn't sleep cause bubs made so much noise.

you could try it first and if its not for you just move bubs

We had Spencer in with us until 4 months, he then out grew his bassinet, and Kyle has just moved out this week at 6.5 months (managed to squeeze his cot in with us as his room wasn't ready but the room has been quite cramped cos of it).

I found I learnt to sleep through all the non food related noises so they didn't wake me unless they were hungry and DH learnt to sleep through everything, he has no idea how many times I get up a night. I don't think it's much different to having a baby monitor next to you really, actually I find that more annoying as ours has interference on it all the time.

I liked having them close especially when they are very little, i didn't feed in our room as I spray milk everywhere so have always gone out to the lounge to feed but lots of women feed in bed which would be handy.

I think it is also recommended to have them in with you as it helps prevent SIDS and apparently they are suppose to sleep better, nobody told Kyle that though

Our girls will be in their own room from day one - they will be in bassinets but two of them just won't fit in our room, and also it means that at least one of us will get a decent night sleep.

Daniel was in his room from day 1, it meant we got a better nights sleep, it was only next door and I had a 2nd hand lazy boy in there for feeding and it was comfy.I found feeding in bed more uncomfy than feeding in the lazyboy

Issy was in with us for the first six months.

Elias will be in with us until he outgrows his bassinette as we cant fit a cot into our room in this house.

You get used to the noise (well I did) .. I only wake for I want food now screams (oh and DH sleeps through me kicking him 10 times to get up and change a baby .. so he doesnt hear any newborn snuffles lol)

henry was in our room for the first 6months. He was still feeding at night and i would feed him in bed. I also slept better with him in the room because i could hear him breathing. I would just try it for a week and if you hate it then it isnt that big a deal to move them out.
We will have this bubs in our room too probably for the first 6months i think (though we will just play it by ear).
Dh has never woken up with henry crying as a newborn. The interesting thing is now that he is almost a year old DH will sometimes wake before me if henry is awake for no reason - i generally only wake if there is something wrong (mothers instinct).

I had Melissa in the room with me for the first 4 months, she was a good sleeper.

With Cameron he was in his own room in a cot at 3 weeks because if he heard me move at night he would cry for a feed, he slept better in his own room. Oh and he kept rolling over and getting caught down the side of the bassinet mattress so had to go into his cot and I couldn't be bothered taking it down to move it into our room

Lydia was in a bassinet in our room for 2 weeks - then she caught her first cold. She got so noisy, I kept thinking she was awake/hungry, would get her up to feed, and she wasn't hungry at all! We weren't getting any sleep, so she was banished to her own room across the hall. I leave the doors open, both to help keep the rooms warm (heater's in the hall), and so I can hear her when she calls. What I can't hear is all the snuffling, farting, moaning, chattering..... bliss!

Next one... probably in our room to start, we'll see how long it lasts. Might only be 2 weeks again!

Oh, and we have a single bed in Lydia's room as well as the cot, so I set it up for feeding in at night (keep it clear, electric blanket on low, extra shawl close by for my shoulders).

DD was in her pram bassinet parked next to our bed for about 3 - 4 weeks then into her own room, which meant we all slept better. We had an angelcare monitor in her cot for piece of mind, highly recommend them.

Think this bubs will go straight into her room from day 1.

We only have one bedroom so DD is set up in the lounge although she spends alot more time in our bed then she does in her own bassinet.

When it comes to the early morning I find it alot easier to have her in our bed it means that if she just wants a cuddle or a change I can do it quickly and go back to bed.
