Baby in own room

Quite a few ladies have done it. I recently asked a question about how noisy their babies are? I’m even thinking of doing it when my LO turns 8 weeks (she’s 5 weeks) At the end of the day, they’ll always recommend you don’t do it due to SIDS. But it’s your baby. My baby is soooooo noisy during her active sleep. And it’s always from 4am and she’s keeping me awake. My first born was not this bad. I’ve started putting my LO to bed at 8:30 upstairs in her next to me, whilst my partner and I enjoy a bit of an evening together. Obviously with the camera on. I feel this is preparing me for moving her to her own room. I’m so much for relaxed with my LO then I was with my other daughter. I do feel health visitors and midwives have good scare tactics and at the end of the day it’s your baby and if you feel they are safe and you are comfortable then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says xx
If you’re worried when she’s next to you you’ll be worse when she’s not! It’s way too soon. I would work on trying to sleep even when he’s in active sleep. As long as he’s in a safe sleep space he can wake up himself, you don’t need to check cause you’ll know when he needs you, wee sounds and movements don’t need checked. Just try and go back to sleep if he’s only stirring
The active grunting sleeps settles down around 3months maybe 4. It’s whilst their digestive system matures. As everyone else says it’s a SIDs risk, but it’s your choice. Just read up on lullaby trust guidance, to make sure you make an informed choice for your family. Xx
Personally I wouldn't, I'd be too paranoid and be checking on them so much, or constantly have the camera on so I can see them. The recommendation is at least 6 months up to a year due to sids. They need the noise of you sleeping, talking, breathing etc to stop them going into too deep of a sleep and worse. My first I had in with us until she was 8 months. Obviously it's your choice.
Last week my LG was choking on her mucous in her basket during the day then it happened again at 5am today resulting in an ambulance and A and E. Fortunately she is okay but I dread to think if she was in her room and the volume of a monitor wasn't enough to have heard her. BUT Its each to their own x
It’s recommended that baby sleeps in the same room as you for at least 6 months to reduce the chances of SIDS, but of course it’s up to you what works best for you. My first baby was the same, we both disturbed each other and we put him in his nursery at just over 5 months. I only had to get up to feed him once or twice a night from then on, whereas before he would wake every hour and need me to feed him back to sleep.
