Where does LO sleep?

timmylulu · October 2009

We tried a snuggle nest the first couple of nights and LO wouldn't sleep in it-I think it was too hard. ?We are now using a bassinet at the foot our bed and it seems to be working better. ?I would love to just let her snuggle up with me, but DH is afraid that we will roll over her. ?

Does anyone not have LO in your room with you? ?How is that working out? ?I am considering putting her in the crib so we don't hear every little noise and check on her.?

We use the snuggle nest but its not her favorite unless I put the sleep positioner in it with her and then shes fine.

We also use the bassinet next to our bed and we put the swing in our room. I talked with DH about moving her out of our room and he said no, that he wanted her to feel like part of the family always. He really enjoys the bonding time, which Im surprised because hes not a very lovey dovey guy and gave me SOO much crap about sleeping with DD#1 (he is her step dad) but now he sees things my way, I suppose!

I co-slept with my other DD until she was 3 so I would be pretty sad if i had to move her out of my room this soon Maybe you can try the Arms Reach Co-Sleeper, I hear really good things about those.

The first week or so he slept a little with me in the bed (during the day) and in our pack n play in our bedroom. But, after a couple of weeks we started putting him in his crib in his room. He never really had any problems adjusting. We keep the baby monitor on the whole night...so we still hear every little noise he makes.

We had B in a cradle in our room for about 3 weeks then decided to move him to his crib in his own room since he was napping in there anyways.

in her own room, in her crib, swaddled up, on the sleep positioner.

We have our LO sleeping in his crib at night and I put him in the pack n' play bassinet during the day since it stays downstairs in my living room. He seems to be doing really well in the crib at night! Woot!

DS sleeps in a Snuggle Nest in our bed. It is kind of hard so I draped one of DS' blankets over the whole thing & it's perfectly cozy for him. Our sleep situation is a little snug in a queen bed but I like it. DH is eager to get DS transitioned to the bassinet though. I made a deal with him & said I will do it once I start going back to work.

As far as transitioning to the crib... I have no idea when that will happen. I guess when he starts consistently STTN would be a good time.

My LO sleeps in her crib. She's been sleeping there since we took her home from the hospital. Our room is just down the hall and we have a great baby monitor so that we can hear her breathing and any other sounds.

I have a bassinett next to our bed, but LO will only sleep up to an hour in it, so I have had her in bed with us every night where she will sleep for 4-6 hours at a time.

I want to slowly get get into the bassinett, but I also ejoy my sleep too

Our Public Health nurse said that babies should sleep with Mom and Dad nearby for the first six months since it helps prevent SIDS. If baby starts to stop breathing, their brain will "hear" your breathing and will restart.

Our son sleeps either in a bassinet or in a PnP depending on which level of the house he's on and who is looking after him. We'll put him in his crib when he outgrows the bassinet.

DD has slept in her crib since we brought her home from the hospital. We did not get a bassinet bc we were determined to have her sleep in her own room. We do have her swing in our room and I will put her down in it for a nap but as far as night sleeping she sleeps in her crib and does great. We do use a sleep positioner and we have a fan going all the time too.

For about 3 weeks she was in the bassinett in our room. Now she is sleeping in her crib at night.

We put him in the crib from day one, he sleeps better and so do we. When he naps in the same room as me I get almost frustrated on every single noise he makes and I never nap because it feels like he is waking up every second when he may end up staying put for another 2 hours.
