Leaving baby

[Aleshia31]

Hi there !
So my LG has started to sleep from
11-7 shes 8 weeks today. I stay in a bungalow and we normally have the basket in the living room but now when we're moving it through at night she's waking up.. Does anyone put they're baby to bed and stay up with a monitor or that like I said I'm all one floor and she would still be in my room for me going to bed. Or is this a compete no go? Please help and me and my o/h aren't getting any time ourselves x

Do you mean you want to put her in her own room at 11pm for the night as opposed to in the bedroom with you ?

I used to put my daughter upstairs and then sit downstairs but she was probably more like 5 months and I had a breathing monitor. I think I'd be a bit nervous that young because I think there's some scientific research that says your breathing helps with theirs at that age. I'm sure someone will be along in a minute with the correct info though!

@pumpkinpie01 no I think she means she wants to put it to sleep upstairs and then join her latet when they're ready for bed type thing

She lives in a bungalow. She wants to put baby into her bedroom at 11pm for baby's night time sleep instead of putting her in a moses basket/crib in the living room and then disturbing her when moving her into their bedroom when the parents go to bed.

What you want to do is fine imo

Yeah I mean putting her into my room so I can stay up for an hour or two after she's in bed we're night owls in this house lol.
Also I don't have stairs so I would be able to hear her if I did so but was just looking for advice x

I do this in our flat. I go in to check on her regularly, and we're only about two metres away.

I did this with mine. I’m not one for saying ‘I did this and mine are fine’ as guidelines are there for a reason. But, you have to do what is right for your family too and if putting baby in a different room in the evening means she isn’t disturbed, that is what I’d be doing.

It's completely fine at that stage in my opinion. My baby needed a dark, quiet room at that point and I obviously couldn't sit in silence all night until I went to bed

We do this every night! Completely fine. Obviously we have the monitor on us! You need adult time

I did with dd, and I was a stickler for The Rules. She couldn’t sleep with me being awake and in the light, and I just got into bed and got a good few hours before she woke for a feed.

I think it would be fine.

Both my babies went in their cot upstairs at 7pm every night from day 1. That was bedtime. Baby monitor was fine.

Thanks so much everyone ! X
