With my first DD I put her in her own room, but with my 2nd DD I put her snuggle bed on my bed as she was a 1 1/2 - 2 hourly feeder to begin with. I did this for about 8 weeks. Once her feeding settled down I then moved her to her own room and had a monitor in my room. When this little one is born it will depend on how I feel and what type of baby she is etc. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules especially when it comes to babies.
