Hi. We’ve got a 12 month baby joining our family in a few days. We are still not sure about sleeping arrangements. Basically we have to options: either the baby sleeps in our bedroom, or in a separate bedroom by himself (although I would sleep in the same room for the first month or so or until he is settled). Social workers said that it might be best to put him in his own bedroom as this will minimise disruption for him later on - for example, if he sleeps in our bedroom, we will probably end up moving him to his own bedroom in the next year or so, and this may end up being another shock to him, so probably best to do it now as everything will be new to him. For other people that adopted babies, how did you do it and what’s your advice? Thanks
