Sorry this is just more of a rant as I’m shattered. Tried to move my lo into her own room this week. She’s 8 months and too big for the next to me now.
It’s probably not the best time as she’s waking up lots for feeds in the night (i started another thread about this) and I’m continually up and down with a dummy, so I saw every hour of the clock but like I said she’s too big for the next to me now, so something needs to change.
The worst bit is the bloomin monitor. When she was next to me you’d hear the stirrings or her chatting away which would wake me gently. Now I just get woken by a loud electronic cry on the monitor, that wakes me with a start. I can never feel like i can settle.
I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable to feel so fed up with this. I miss her sleeping next to me, it was so much easier to see to her needs.
I’m not sure what the alternative is though. She’s outgrown the next to me. Cot too big to go in our room and definitely don’t want her to sleep in our bed. She ended up in our bed at 5 this morning and no one got very much sleep from then.
Am I being unreasonable to not like my baby sleeping in her own room and wish we could carry on using a next to me crib?
