Do babies sleep better in their own room?

Hey everyone,
I know it depends on the baby but I was wondering what everyone’s experience was putting babies in their own room. My LB is 6 months now so he can go in there but he currently sleeps terribly has never slept through and currently waking 3-4 times a night still.
Did this improve or get better when babies when in there own room, less distractions?

Picture so we don’t get lost

My little girl went into her own room on Monday and she slept better in there Tuesday and Wednesday night, last night she slept through but I still had to go in often to move her because she kept getting stuck on her front.

Much better he seems to be able to self settle when on his own as soon as he sees me often he starts crying to be picked up so I just watch on the baby monitor and go in if needed but we've gone from 12-20 wake ups to maybe 4-8 so slowly improving. He's so cute!

I moved my little one into her own room just under 2 weeks ago and she's gone from waking 8+ times a night to sleeping 7pm- 7am with maybe 1 wake up. I did sleep training at the same time but after a day she seemed to get it.

Such a cute picture of your little one!

How did you sleep train if you don’t mind me asking xx

I used the Ferber method. If you Google it there is loads of information on it. I slightly adapted it and went in at 3 minutes, and then added 1 minute each time.
But now I find if she cries she's put herself back to sleep without me going in within 5 minutes.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions ☺️

Since last Friday I’ve done 5 nights without the baby in the room and in my case I can 💯say no

My LO’s sleep didn't change but I started to sleep better as I couldn't hear him moving around lol
Changing his nap times around helped him sleep longer, he went from 3-4 hours to the last few days 8-9 hours 😀x

Yes!! We both sleep better with her in her own room! I was extremely nervous about it at first but I have no regrets about it now! She’s been sleeping in her own room since about 8 months old and will be 2 in December!

Yes and so do mamas

The first night went amazingly thank you everyone xx

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
