AIBU to be sad about having to put my 3 month old DD in her own room already?

[daisywaisydoo]

She outgrew her moses basket and our room isn't big enough for her cotbed so it is in the room next door.

She's been sleeping in her carry cot on the floor ever since and it just seems wrong to me so tonight I put her in her cotbed in the other room.

It feels too soon for her to be out of our room because she'll never be back in it.

AIBU or is this normal first baby growing up sadness?

I miss her snuffly noises already

SharpLily - it's not that the baby "learns" to breathe, it's just that the sounds and movement from you and your DH keep stimulating her during the night. The theory is that humans aren't designed to sleep with their babies away from them, so a baby alone in a dark, silent room may fall into too deep a sleep and just stop breathing.

DS slept in a travel cot after he grew out his crib at about four months.

I wouldn't use carrycot on floor ( sorry)

Even it it does say its ventilated so suitable for overnight you are now blocking any vents by having on floor. Hence Moses baskets have stands.

I bought a crib for my middle child - bigger than a moses basket, smaller than a cot, and it lasted until she could pull up at which point it wouldn't have been safe. At this point she has a pull out mattress next to my bed. Co-slept with my third child.

I just wanted to say, someone upthread said co sleeping increases the risk of SIDS, just wanted to make sure people know the recent headlines about the dangers of co sleeping have been widely criticised, have copied and pasted some of the criticisms below:

One of the most important factors missing in the research is whether or not bedsharing was planned or unplanned. A parent planning to co-sleep with their baby is significantly more likely to employ safety techniques than a parent who has fallen asleep, accidentally, due to exhaustion. A previous study by Venneman et al (2009) found no increased risk when co-sleeping was planned. Furthermore, no indication was given as to whether or not the mattress and bedding involved was suitable for co-sleeping which is much less likely to be a factor, as previously mentioned, in planned co-sleeping.

Other important points that are missing from the study include whether or not the mother smoked in pregnancy, whether or not she was using prescription medications (as many mothers are, post c-section), how many other people were in the bed at the time (or who they were) and, importantly, whether or not the baby was premature (a known risk factor for SIDS).

Alternative theories
In countries like Japan, where safe co-sleeping techniques are commonly employed, the SIDS rate is actually dramatically lower than rates within the western world. This was noted in a 2009 study by Nelson et al and is considered the most normal sleeping arrangement for mother and baby throughout human history.

Good points chocolatemartini

All mine were in their own room pretty much straight away as I couldn't sleep with them grunting and snuffling all night. They are strapping young adults now.
