Traylee - another one who has bub in his own room, he has been in there since Day 1...well day 3 when we came home from hospital. I was a little scared at first as the midwife at the hospital said I would be up and down like a yo-yo to him...but touch wood the most I have been up to him is 4 times in one night and 2 of those were for feeds and the others due to wind...as soon as he brought it up he went back down. I swear heaps of my friends think I am so hard arse having him in his own room, but whatever works for you. To be honest I can still hear him in the monitor so I am not worried about that, the monitor has been turned down the past couple of nights as I found it was too loud and could hear him farting and what not a bit too much and feel ok about having it turned down. I can hear him crying from our room without the monitor on anyway...just gives me peace of mind!
I was just putting him up there in the night but he is now going in for his morning and midday sleep. His afternoon sleeps I am trying to get him to sleep somewhere else ie swing, playmat, on the couch next to me but am struggling a bit. We are attempting to follow a routine and have Tizzy Halls book Save our Sleep (sorry for all the gentle parenting mumma's who dont agree with routines) and she recommends this so they get used to going to sleep in places other than the cot. To be honest we are struggling a bit as she recommends not to swaddle and DS wakes himself up all the time. I also have the Baby Love book which I refer to for whether things are normal. I admint I am a mumma who likes to know what is coming next and it seems so does our little man. And also I am hoping he gets the hang of sleeping through sooner rather than later....I realised this morning I only have 7 weeks before I have to go back to work....it is going too quickly! I am envious of anyone who gets to be a SAHM!
