Would you put 13 week old in own room?

[Bluebells45]

Hi,

My daughter is 13 weeks and is a fab sleeper. She has her last bottle of an evening at 7 and then goes to bed at 8. She then sleeps through till 8. It’s great, I haven’t done a single night feed since she was 4 weeks so I’m kind of thinking she’s ready to go in her own room? Obviously I have a baby monitor so I should hear her if she does wake but generally speaking she never does. I know they say 6 months but each for there own I suppose. I do also have a snuza baby monitor that attaches to the nappy. Personally I would feel comfortable. I haven’t even suggested it to my partner yet !
Has anyone else done it before 6 months?

Thanks x

No I wouldn't. Why would you, what's the rush?

Sorry about your nephew. That's so sad. But not sure really why you asked the question here as it seems your mind is made up.

I used a snuza too. I don't just want to know if my baby has stopped breathing though, I want to be doing the things that makes it more likely they keep breathing, such as being in the same room.
Your family must be traumatised from what's happened OP I'm sorry for your loss.

Surely if such a terribly thing happened to your nephew, you wouldn't do anything that would put your baby at a greater risk strange veiw to have on expert advice on something so serious.

So sorry to hear about your nephew OP

Sorry about your nephew.

I don't understand your motivation in wanting her in another room, do you have to be careful not to wake her, or want alone time? If she sleeps through then she's not disturbing you, right?

Even without SIDS being a factor, the 4 month sleep regression might make things fun!

All 3 of mine were in their own room after a few wks! Do what's best for you though I would say! I never did like to follow the rules as it were! They were all on solids by 3.5/4 months too! They are now teenagers and u wouldn't change a thing! It worked for me and that's what matters! Good luck x

Do you understand that it makes it statistically less likely for that to happen if in same room?

Bluebells45 sharing a room with your baby doesn't eliminate the risk of sudden infant death but does halve it.

At least your sister knows she didn't increase the risk to her baby and did all she could.

Alarms don't help your baby regulate her breathing, you breathing does.

Its not "each to their own" its just bloody stupid to put a 13 week old baby in a different room alone overnight.

Surely if such a terribly thing happened to your nephew, you wouldn't do anything that would put your baby at a greater risk

Well indeed....

Don’t you want to know you’ve done every single thing you can to keep your baby safe, healthy, alive?

If you don’t trust the experts what are you asking randoms on a forum for? (Most of whom are telling you not to be so daft)

Omg I am so jealous
My eldest is 4 and a half and I still haven't had a full nights sleep

No. What’s the point?

Do what's best for you though I would say! I never did like to follow the rules as it were! They were all on solids by 3.5/4 months too!

Oh ffs. My grandmother smoked when she was pregnant and my mum turned out okay. So bloody what? Yeah, fuck “the rules”, parenting based on the knowledge of medical experts is for mindless idiots, you’re so much cooler than that and it all turned out fine for you...

So personally to me all of the statistics and dos and don’ts I find personally irrelevant. If something like that is going to happen it’s going to happen if she’s in her own room or right next to me

That's a really fundamental misunderstanding of risk analysis

We did TBH earlier than that but landing light off and doors open at night when we went to bed

No. Never. It's simply not the safest option.

Seriously why do people bother to commit to something for at least 18 years and start half arseing it so early.

No. That's so tiny.

Absolutely not.

I'm stunned that you have used your dead nephew as a reason not to as well.

No. The advice is there for a reason. The family history aspect would frighten me even more. Those saying theirs were fine ought to count themselves lucky. Why take the risk? The world is going to hell in a hand cart, keep yours close and safe. They're only tiny for such a short time.

My friend died in a car crash but was wearing a seat belt.

So by your reckoning I now shouldn't bother with seatbelts cos he died anyway?

Okaaay

A family history of SIDS and you still don't want to do anything and everything in your power to reduce your risk. Disgusting attitude

@itsallthedramaMickiloveit completely agree with you. Such a half arsed attitude to parenting

Agree with pp, aside from sids risk, i'm not sure of the reason to move baby, if everyone is sleeping well, why change it?

My dd outgrew her bedside crib, so we squeezed the cotbed into our bedroom. The time goes so fast, before we knew it, she was 7 months old, and moved into her own room.

Sorry for the loss of your nephew xx

Ignor dem statisticz hun. Ur bubz ur roolz u no dem best lol. Stick da baybee in da garden hun will sleep gr8 there lol lol bless ya xxxx

That what you wanted to hear?
