After a nightmare first year with DC1 which ended up with co-sleeping, I'm trying to start better habits with DC2 who is two months.
I've read it's key to start a good bedtime routine of bath, upstairs into the bedroom and lights dimmed, even if they're awake and will of course feed again.
Can I leave her up there (with a monitor?).
With DC1, I guess there was no clear separation from day to night. He was in his Moses basket and we just took it wherever we were in the house, including a dark corner of the lounge if we we're still up or having dinner.
I can't remember what we did once he outgrew the basket and moved into a crib, but I think that was the start of the bad period and one of us always had to lie on the bed next to him.
