Jess, Lily sleeps in our room in the bassinet. I've bought one of those angel care breathing monitors for when we put her in the cot(when shes around 3-4 months old). I don't think it's a basd thing having Aidan in a different room to you. It's a pretty good idea actually, coz then he'll be used to it right from the start.

Mipsy, If the routine your going with is working well for both of you, then i think you should stick with it. With Lily, i just feed her when she wakes up on her own, which can be any where from 4 hours to 8 hours inbetween feeds. Then after i just put her back in her bassinet and let her fall asleep by herself. Sometimes it works, other times she gets a little antsy, but if i give her the dummy then she just quite happily sucks on it til she falls asleep. Although, if the dummy falls out she whimpers til it's back in!
