Hi Nix

The best advice that I read was to keep night times as night times. Meaning as 'low-key' as possible. From day one in the hospital I turned on a very dim night light to change dd nappy and feed her. I never got up and turned the main lights on. I kept nice and quiet too. I did the same once we got home. We never had problems with DD up all night and asleep all day. Shes always slept very well of a night and I think because there was a key difference. We had dd in a bassinet in our room, which she grew out of by 3 months, shes now 5 months old and in a cot in our room. I'm thinking about putting her in her own room in a month or two, but its just so handy having her right next to me. Its easier for breastfeeds, no going to another room. Oh and once you have your baby you can just put a towel underneath them and change them on the bed. It might wake them more taking them to another room. Newborns can be quiet noisy sleepers but we soon got used to dd sleeping in the same room. We were able to get to her quickly before she woke too much and cried. So she always went back to sleep easily. this worked for us anyway. You will work out what is best for you once your bub is here. goodluck
