I'm confused. Why is everyone having their little one sleep in their bedroom? Not trying to be rude, just curious. Ours will be sleeping in her own room down the hall from ours.
@jazzi89 I'm with you...I can't have the baby in my room! I say maybe for the first week because I will be having a c section and won't want to walk down the hall.
I was thinking of the same thing @jazzi89 to each their own, im just terrified of sleeping in the same room with baby but at the same time have no other room
@kristaf22 well that makes sense. @sands3 ya we aren't having our little girl in our room atall. Day 1 and on shell b in her own room and bed. I've heard horror stories of trying to get them back in their own bed and room after sleeping with u
I had my son in his own room and it was set up so feeding were a breeze at night. I had a great comfy chair and a boppy...still have both for this baby.
@jazzi89 the only people I know who do it have messed up children but I think its completely unrelated Haha I wish baby didn't have to sleep with us but I don't know what else to do
Mine sleep in our bed til they will sleep alone willingly. I would rather get to sleep thru the night than have sex in my bed, however they were both ok with napping alone in the playpen in the living room so sex was an afternoon thing. Eventually it became a couch thing once they move to the crib in our bedroom. At the time we had a sectional couch so it was really fun. One night my mil spent the night so we had sex in our small walk in closet lol. Our new place is on the stairs ha! Its the best.
My daughter eventually moved to her bed at 6mo and her own room at 1yr. We are doing the same with this one.
@kristaf22 I'm worried about the job market as well. Mike would go work for his dads company and eventually take it over, but his dad has already lost a large property. The business could be next to nothing when this enlistment is up...
@homebirthadvocate I applaud you..I could never co sleep! I can't tell you how many times my husband has rolled right on top of me and not known it Haha plus I wouldn't get good sleep id be so scared! We will see how it goes with just sleeping in our room!
My baby will sleep in a crib in my room until the baby gets bigger, I want to be able to see her at all times my master bedroom is huge so it doesn't bother me.
She's been home a week. Right now she's sleeping anywhere I can get her to sleep. At this moment she's on my bed in the middle of the Boppy sleeping. She hates the pack n play. Does okay in the bassinet next to my bed. Her favorite is skin to skin w mommy. Been so tired lately I give in and let her sleep in bed with me. Said I would never do that but when your desperate you will do anything.
This time, my baby will be sleeping in my room because I want her to share a room with her sister, but I don't want her to wake up when the baby wakes up to eat at night, since she'll be starting school a month before the baby is born.
Last time, we had a nursery set up, but in the beginning, the baby wakes up like every three or four hours to eat and I hated walking across the house to go get her. Plus, as a first time mom, I was terrified something was going to happen to her if I left her all alone. We moved her to her own room around 8 months and I really didn't have any problems transistioning her. Honestly, it was hard for me to have her away from me, but she didn't care at all. I didn't let her sleep in my bed though, she slept in a bassinet and then a pack n play in my room. @jazzi89
Ya I guess I dont mind getting up every 3 to4 hours for feedings. and ill drive myself crazy if I check on her every ten minutes to make sure shes ok. So dhes going to stay in her nursery so I dont have the urge to lean over n check her like crazy
