DC2 is 4 months and is a much better sleeper than DC1 ever was. This means we can put him down in his moses basket at the start of the night and he'll reliably sleep for a few hours, giving us some time to ourselves in the evening.
I'm very, very anxious about sids. I always have been. DC1 slept with us until he was 6 months and never slept unsupervised.
DC2 is still in with us but I'm considering setting the video monitor up so we can have some time together downstairs for the first few hours of his sleep at night. This directly contradicts the SIDS advice of never leaving baby alone to sleep until 6 months.
I feel like I'm being really ott about the whole thing and that a few hours in the evening with a video monitor is fine. I could really use the downtime.
I've considered having him sleep downstairs with us for the first few hours but the lighting and noise really disturbs him.
I suppose I'm just looking for confirmation that others have done the same thing and I'm not a terrible mother.
