Hi everyone,
Just wondering, for those who managed to keep baby sleeping in their rooms - do you eventually get used to all the ridiculous noises that babies make in their sleep (grunting, squealing, snorting etc!), or do babies make less noise as they get older?

On the odd time (and there haven't been many) where our wee girl has managed to sleep for decent chunks of time during the night, we still aren't getting much sleep due to all the noise she makes! We are thinking we might have to move her into her own room (next to ours) so we can all get some more sleep, but I really would like for her to stay in our room a wee while longer yet, she is only 4 weeks old :-(

you've got to do what's right for you. i felt soooo guilty when we evicted DS. I asked heaps of people what age they put the baby in there own room, to my surprise most of them already had! The answers I got were anything from day 1 onwards. I wish someone had actually given me numbers on how much it changes the risks.
(sorry, that's not much help)

Yeah we do have a monitor.... I need to learn the difference between all the noises and the "I want to be fed noises"..... there isn't much in it! Sometimes I swear she's waking to be fed, but I sit up and look in and she's still fast asleep!

We got used to the noises eventually. No idea when - it's a bit of a haze now - but he slept in our room at night until he was at least 4 months old and had outgrown the bassinet.

Oh man that used to happen to me ALL the time. We moved C into his own room at about 7 weeks because Mum was coming to stay and needed the spare room (and DH had been in the spare room from about week 2 because he couldn't cope with the lack of sleep with his job). I felt TERRIBLE about it!

When we've had to share a room with C when we've been travelling since then he STILL wakes us with his noise and moving around in his sleep.

Hi, I found Mika was probably at her noisiest from 3 weeks on. This lasted for a couple of weeks (can't remember exactly how long) and then she went back to sleeping very quietly.
As a matter of fact she is so quiet when she sleeps I often check if she's still breathing. Cause even though she's right next to me, you just can't hear her.
But I think it depends on the baby.

The girls still snuffle and grunt and sometimes cry out in their sleep. They've been in their own room since the day they were born, and we don't have a monitor. We can still hear the "I need you" cries (like a dummy has fallen out etc) but the little ones we don't anymore (our bedrooms are side by side). When we first got home, even in their own rooms we could still hear every little movement, snuffle or grunt (just cos your senses are on high alert) but over time you get used to it. There have been a couple of times where I've woken up just to check on them (very rare, but it does happen!!) and they're fine.

I couldn't sleep with my girl in our room - one night and we were done. I'd recommend Dustan Baby Language for helping cries. Hunger is a little "neh" type noise. And its pretty easy to hear through the wall!
