Would you let a 3 month old nap upstairs with baby monitor?

Hi

No haters thanks.

So no nursery now for my 3 year old, like most people. But DC2 will only really nap when it is reasonably quiet, and when DC1 is around screaming and just being a toddler, she really struggles to nap and gets fraught and upset.

I’m contemplating putting her upstairs when she needs a nap nap with the baby monitor on, checking her every 15 mins or so. What do you think? I want to do it for my own sanity, and also so that DC2 can get a proper nap in bless her.

Thanks x

The hearing difficulty complicates things, but in the absence of that babies sleeping in a room with someone else are simply less likely to fall victim to SIDS than those sleeping elsewhere. The monitor doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't know how to advise re the hearing loss, though I suppose it depends if it is full or partial. Ten weeks is still particularly young, I know what I would do if I were you, but it is not up to me! Can you ask your consultant more about it?
