Sleeping / naps

I used to go to bed when she did when she went to bed late as a newborn because I didn’t want to leave her by herself. She has been going to bed between 7-9 since she was like 2 months old and now goes to bed same as yours between 7:30-8. We’ve been putting her in bed and using the baby monitor since about 3 months old and she is now 5 months old - I am aware it is not recommended, but it worked for us and she is only in the next room over for 1 or 2 hours until we go to bed. She still sleeps in our room. It is nice to get a little bit of evening time for yourself before you go to sleep!

I honestly had no idea this was a thing, I always would put my son down to bed in his crib then have video monitor on until I got into bed, also would put him there in the daytime and go into other rooms and get jobs done..no way I'd be sat watching him sleep when I had stuff to do. I'm pregnant with my second now and will definitely be doing the same again xx

What is this nappy clip? Sounds interesting x

We do. Our LO is 4.5 months. Bedtime she goes down around 8pm and we watch on the monitor and I'll then go to bed about an hour after (but only because I EBF and don't know how long a stretch I'll get with this regression!). First nap of the day I watch on the monitor then the rest are usually contact naps. It's hard to be with them every minute of the day as you still need to have a moment to yourself!

I've always had them sleep in the same room as me for the first 6 months, as per the NHS and lullaby trust guidelines.

We used a travel cot in the living room in the evening
