Feeing very anxious as put out 14 week daughter to bed upstairs without us for the first time tonight! Keep checking the monitor to check she is breathing and feeling a bit lost!
However where this is our second I feel like I need my evening back for some time for me.
Anyone else been putting them upstairs to bed before you go up?

We do. We put LG to bed at 6 then we go up at 9. She also naps in her nursery. I was so anxious when we first started doing it and literally couldn’t take my eyes off the monitor but it does get easier xx

I’ve only just started at almost 20 week. I miss her when she‘a upstairs ☹️

I’ve been doing it for about 4 weeks. Only for an hour and half but just gives me that wind down time at night that I need to be able to fall asleep better and be a more chilled mum the next day. For the first days I literally watched the monitor the whole time 😂

I do! He’s in the next to me from about 8, and we go up between 10-11. I have the monitor and check him every 30 mins or so

Not upstairs because our bedroom is next to the lounge. But we have been closing the door and staying up 2 hours with the monitor on and its been bliss actually

We’ve been doing it for the last 3 weeks now, LB is 14 weeks and it’s honestly been the best thing for us all. We would battle with him at night to get him to sleep, then any noise we made woke him up and we didn’t get our own time in an evening. Now bedtimes are so much easier. Depending when he last wakes up from a nap bedtime routine can start from 630-7 and he’s normally asleep latest 7,30. Couldn’t have done it without a monitor with us but so glad we did. I don’t turn the monitor off at any point now when he’s upstairs or into sleep mode x

We have tonight for the first time as we have my sis in law staying, so wanted to stay up a bit later than usual 😅 LO is 15 weeks and we have the monitor on
Great to hear that I’m not the only one. Was concerned that everyone says wait for 6months. Was so nice to have a evening and she slept so much better!
