Moving back in with parent/s

[Danii4]

Hello
so unfortunately our landlord is selling and instead of renting for another 6-7 months we have decided just to go back ‘home’ until the end of year and then buy a house. Yes it means we can save save save but it does mean that our baby girl (13 months will be in the same room as us) she has been in her own room since 6.5 months and sleeps 6.30-7am every single night! Am I setting myself up to her routine going completely down the drain?! I’d still be putting her to bed on her own but then I’d be going to bed quietly later on. We really don’t have any other option.any feedback welcome x

I think some change in her routine might be fairly normal but it sounds as though you've got a good long term plan in mind with a definite end date.

We sold our home last year and couldn't buy again for 9 months, so moved in with my parents.

In terms of toddler routine, absolutely no issues whatsoever. The house was familiar to him, so he had no problem adjusting and sleep wasn't affected.

On the other hand, my mother and I were definitely on the verge of killing each other by the end.

@UnravellingTheWorld did you share a room with toddler ? This is my concern that she becomes overly clingy etc. my head is just all over the place as we weren’t expecting this at all!

I don’t think sharing a room with you for a few months is going to make her ‘overly clingy’, why would it?

We didn't share - our son was around 19 months when we moved so a bit older and more aware.

Honestly toddlers go through overly clingy phases whether you have major life changes or not. Sharing a room is not going to change that! If anything she'll be comforted having you close when she wakes up.

@HungryBeagle i just thought because she’s been in her own sleep environment for such a long time now. I just thought she would become clingy and then struggle to be alone again when we move

She’ll be fine. It might take an adjustment period, that’s all.

she might initially be a bit disturbed by the noise at night, eg of one of your snores. But she should get used to it.

eg I moved the baby into our son's room when he was 2. The baby still sometimes woke up and cried in the night, after about a week, my son sleep through the baby's noise.
