Friends baby?

You could just make her aware of the recommendations xx

Not being rude but it’s none of your business… my cousin put her son in his own room by 7 weeks… Not that I would or agreed with it but it’s her choice 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s a tricky situation but maybe she has her reasons - I put my first baby in his own room at 5 months as we were disturbing each other so much and I hadn’t had more than a 2 hour stretch of sleep since he had been born and moving him to his own room helped us both. Some people aren’t aware of the guidelines though so maybe think of a way to casually drop it into conversation x

I’d just politely make her aware of the recommendations. I know some people say they sleep better but it’s to reduce the risk of SIDS and I’d personally want to make them aware

It’s her choice. Her HV will make her clear of what the recommendations are anyway. Leave it to the professionals x

I think I let our son into his own room before 6 months. His sleep had been established and still to this day doesn't change much since around 4 months. We moved around that time and got him into his own room. It's recommended 6 months+ but to each their own.

Hard one, I put my little boy in his room at 3 months as he was sleeping through and we would be waking him up when we came to bed, I had an owlet sock on him so knew he was save and also had a monitor with a camera so I could see him at all times. Just because it’s recommended doesn’t mean you need to stick to it

Some people have their baby in their own room from the day they go home. They will learn it's harder and move the kid in with them, or not. It's up to the parent. I'm sure they already know the recommended age for solo sleep as every parent is obsessed with Google.

People will do what they want. Mines 10 months and still in our room and I have no plans to move him any time soon. Saying that I know of a couple of people who lost their babies to SIDs so I was not willing to risk it and now we just all sleep better together. Risk is dependent to each individual though.

my son has had his own room since we brought him from the hospital. theres nothing wrong with the baby having his own room. it all depends on preference.

@Hannah if i prefer to have my baby in a different room it is preference.

Sharing a room Babies should always be in the same room as youfor at least the first six months for sleep, day and night. This doesn’t mean you can’t leave the room to make a cup of tea or go to the toilet, but for most of the time when they are sleeping they are safest if you are close by. There are no devices on the market that will substitute a parent or carer being in the same room as baby for safer sleep.

I mean it's a bit early, but also it's her choice. I moved my kid into his own room at 4 months. He never slept in a bassinet as he would fail the transfer every single time. But he started sleeping through the night at 2 months in his bouncer, and bouncer is less than ideal sleep space for a baby, so being able to get him into his crib was a reduction in SIDS risk, despite it being in a seperate room. Idk what the difference betweent the bassinet and crib were(though iirc we had an easier time keeping him warm in the office), but he was fine with the crib, but not the bassinet! And the crib didn't physically fit in our room, so he was in the office until we moved when he was 6 months and he's had his own room that's just his room since. All that to say is SIDS risk is important but not every recommendation takes every factor into account and there are situations where moving them sooner can be helpful, and if you don't know every single aspect of her life, it might be better to move earlier.

As you go through parenthood you’ll find that your friends make different decisions to you on when to move baby to their own room, when to start solids, when to use a forward facing car seat, whether to sleep train, how to discipline their child, etc etc. If you want to keep these people as friends, you need to respect their ability to weigh up the risks and benefits and come to a different conclusion to you.

poor baby 😞

Thank you all for your mixed comments 🤣 I just wanted to see peoples opinions as she never wanted kids - everything she’s got I’ve gave to her after my little one from clothes to mosses basket to a cot,swing (she’s obviously brought a few things now baby is here) but she’s also asked me for help with baby (plus she lives across the road from me) so just wanted to see what I should do as an already telling her a lot and giving her advice as she keeps asking… her baby is currently sleeping in a mosses basket in a separate room - didn’t question it though. So thank you for your comments just wanted to know what people would do in my situation 🤷🏻‍♀️

She will be aware of the recommendations - no ones business but hers. Each to their own. I was put in my own room very early.
