Sleep

So we were about to move my 8 week old into her own room...

... When this weekend age suddenly started sleeping through the night Shock we are grateful to all the gods in heaven for this highly unexpected turn of events and now we're scared to change anything in case it jinxes it! However if we don't move her we won't actually be able to take advantage of the fact she's sleeping through because she is SO noisy it's like sleeping in a zoo Hmm So - should we leave her in our room for a while so the sleeping through is embedded, or should we move her now so that it becomes embedded in her room rather than risking a change in a few weeks which sets her back? Btw we know the SIDS advice about being in with us until 6 months and we're happy with the choice we're making to move her, just a question of when. PS this is not a stealth boast. Until she moves, we aren't sleeping even if she is!

My 19 week old also made me feel like I was sleeping in a farmyard with the noises she made! She has slept 8-8 regularly since 8 weeks and we moved her from next to me crib into big cot in her own room at about 14 weeks. I'm merely stating the facts of what we did. You will not always follow guidelines with parenting so you have to make decisions you are comfortable with and have the confidence to implement them.

Oh and I meant to say transitioning both what she slept in AND where she slept at the same time and no impact whatsoever, positively or negatively.

This is a very long thread, so apologies if this has already been said however I can COMPLETELY relate to the noisy sleeper. My dd has grunted in her sleep since 1.5 weeks old and it is like sleeping in Jurassic park...it is IMPOSSIBLE to sleep through...and it can go on for HOURS!

If you feel comfortable moving her, then I can completely understand and wish we had the courage. It seems to be a rare thing that some babies do and only those whose babies also do it can appreciate the level of noise you are dealing with.
