Sleep advice…
I need some mummas advice and tips 🙏🏼
Currently my baby is 4 months and sleeps in my bed in between me and my husband. Shes snuggled in her docatoc with a love-to-dream swaddle (arms up rather than arms tucked down) during the day she’s in her Moses basket in the front room, in the same swaddle.
But I feel like it’s time to change things for these reasons…
1. She’s outgrowing the docatoc at night
2. She starting to try and roll so need to remove the swaddle
3. During the day, she is so sensitive to noise and light, I feel maybe she needs to start napping upstairs where it’s quiet and dark.
So my plan is to move her to the next to me crib that’s been gathering dust, and put her in a sleep sack at night. And during the day, put her upstairs in a sleep sack, but not in the next to me, she actually has her own room with a cot and black out curtains, I thought I’d put her in there during the day. She is very much used to her room. I often put her in the cot while she’s awake when I’m getting ready in the morning and she happy in there.
I feel like this is all a lot to change at once, should I do things slowly? I don’t know how to make these changes without freaking her out.
Help!!
To the mums of 2 kids
When and how did you know to have your second? My son doesn’t sleep well but this is the only difficulty we have with him, he’s an absolute angel otherwise. Me and my husband do want another, but when do you know when to try? My son is 9 months, and I think I want one sooner rather than later, so I don’t have to get used to sleep and no nappies to go through it all again. But then I question if I could cope with 2, or do you just get on with it?
