Hi all I know the Bhs guidelines say keep baby in same room as you for first 6 months. My baby is 5 months old but she's a really bad napper in the day so I hardly get any chores done I was wondering if it would be safe once u put her to bed to set the camera on her to go downstairs for an hour or two to do chores. Everything I read online says no because of Sid's and I do have anxiety over Sid's. I would still be staying in the same room as her overnight. I want to hear everyone's opinions and what they have done. Thankyou x

The thing is, the camera would not help you until she was visibly blue in the face. You could be watching her on a camera pass away. The SIDS research is complex but points to faces being uncovered and also the noise of being in the same room as you for all sleep so as to prevent baby from sleeping too deeply. My suggestion is to do the absolute minimum chores when she is awake if she doesn't nap, or when you have help.

Could you baby wear? That’s how I got anything done x

I personally do and have done from around 3m, my kids are only 19m apart so poor girl wasn’t getting any sleep in the day downstairs so naps started being upstairs and then we just started putting her upstairs for bed at the same time. I did similar with my son (just slightly later) but you need to make the decision on your own on whether or not you think its worth it x

I was also afraid of sids, but there is only so much you can do. I did leave the room when the baby slept in the safe cot. It was also the only time I could have a shower.
My daughter is 7 months and he started to wake up every 2-3 hours again. Sometimes I can rock her back to sleep other times feeding seems to work the best. She sleeps in our room in a pack and play and she will sit up and cry so I know she’s not trying to self soothe. What worked best for you and your littles?

My 8 week old wants feeding every 1.5 hours and I feel like all I'm doing is feeding! She only feeds for 5 minutes at a time and I can't get her to take any more. I have a toddler and my baby has reflux so most of our day is spent feeding and holding baby upright. I'm hardly getting any time to play with my oldest 😢 does anyone else's baby feed as frequently as this?

Little boy is nearly 6 weeks when do you start doing timed naps currently he just sleeps when ever where ever but I’m think soon I will have to start put him down for naps, and would like to introduce his cot eventually so he’s used to it when he starts sleeping there once he’s out from the next to me
