Advice please about baby sleeping upstairs!

[Bonnella20]

Hi ladies, I'm wondering when it is safe to out my 5 week old son upstairs with baby monitor. The reason I'm asking is because after bath and feed at 7pm this is when he sleeps the deepest and he tends to wake up later in night when we transfer him to his Moses.
Should I continue this? Should I try him with the monitor? I'm very anxious about choking and something bad happening.
The one time we didn't transfer him to Moses he slept 6 hours whereas now he's every 2-3 hours overnight.

Hi Tia
We have a sensor pad monitor, so we do leave our LO upstairs at night from bedtime until we go up to bed. I don't think we left her when she was as small as your LO, but only because she didn't go to bed that early at that age.
I know official advice is baby should sleep in same room as you for 6 months, but I think it depends on what you are comfortable with.

Doesnt he still need a feed later in the night, around half ten or eleven? We would keep dd with us asleep in the lounge then go to bed at eleven and do a feed then which would see her through til about half three ish for another feed which she dropped by about 8/9 weeks.

Ty for the advice. Yes he takes a feed at around 11, think we will continue to keep him with us downstairs for now but wondered how safe it would be to leave baby upstairs to scar disturbing him downstairs. He is still young and I guess just keep going with his routine for now. Thankyou again

This may be a really obvious mistake on my part but do you actually have him in something else and then transfer him to the Moses basket? In which case can you just let him sleep in the Moses downstairs and then gently carry him upstairs in it when you're going to bed? That's what we did with DD and she rarely roused!

We started leaving DD upstairs with the monitor on when she was about 2 months I think. You can pop up to check on him.

Yes he sleeps in a vibrating chair downstairs then we transfer him into Moses. Perhaps we all use Moses downstairs then. He sleeps very deeply between 7pm and 11pm so I guess if we take him up at 11 then feed this would work
Thanks

I do have the angel sensor mat and monitor so I think I'd be comfy leaving him upstairs in a couple months x

We started a bedtime routine at 6 or 7 weeks so ds started sleeping upstairs from about 7.30pm from then on. We had a monitor obviously and then a bit later got a sensor pad monitor for added security once he was moving more x

THANKYOU for all advice ladies

Mine went upstairs almost from the start, they were never the type to sleep in the lounge and while I tried they just got more and more tired and upset (they needed complete darkness and quiet) so we put them upstairs with the baby monitor.

Our DD went upstairs in our room with the baby monitor on from 7pm from about 6 weeks.

It's good to know there are other parents who do this. Thought I was being a mean mummy considering this :) x
