Our DS is 9 weeks old and not a great sleeper. He wakes frequently during the night, sometimes hourly, which is totally exhausting for him and us and hv reckons its a sleep problem not hunger as he is putting on weight above average for bf baby. Out of desperation, last night we put him in his own room for the first time and he slept very well but of course I wasn't right next to him which makes me wonder if I've been jumping in to comfort him too soon or if he is disturbed by our snoring! No hourly wake-ups just twice for a bit of a feed and both DH and I had a good sleep although I was paranoid and had the baby monitor turned up right beside my head.
I've looked up FSID website and various others and am very anxious about increased risk of cot death. I know folks who have put babies younger than DS in their own room but I'm worried.
Any advice?
