If your LO doesnt sleep in your room..

We just got Lily to start sleeping in her crib (in her room) a few nights ago and it makes me a nervous wreck that she is across the hall. I check on her several times throughout the night (she's STTN), but I still worry about SIDS. She is swaddled and on her back, but the fear is still in me. She never took to her cradle in our room and had been in our bed. We have a monitor, but our house is really little and I can see her crib from my bed. We can't afford an anglecare monitor (the breathing one), but I'm scared she's going to stop breathing in the middle of the night and I wont be there. Does anyone else worry a lot of their LO isnt in the bedroom with them?

    No, I don't obsess over the risk of SIDS.  We have taken the recommended precautions (such as no bumper, sleeping on back, no blanket, etc.).  If I wake up in the middle of the night I will listen for him on the monitor and then fall back asleep.

    Call me weird, but I have never worried. She has slept in her crib since the second night home from the hospital and her nursery is at the other end of the house (i couldnt hear her if the monitor wasnt on). She has only sttn once and dh got worried and checked on her once, but I was passed out and grateful for a little sleep.

    Ds2 sleeps in his crib in his room acrossed from mine, i could hear him even without a monitor but to make sure I heard I use it. (since I am the only one getting up with him i have it turned up to make sure while i am sleeping i hear him).  I have the normal fear but I make sure all precautions are taken. I check on him (as well as ds1) before I go to bed at night. But I dont freak out if he sttn.  I also dont go check on him (unless i am up for something else) at night.  I like my sleep, since I dont get alot I take what I can get.

    umm..I never worry.  We don't even use a monitor.  I can hear him the moment he moves.

    He's been in his crib since day 1 & honestly, I have never gone in to check on him.  That's a little odd to me to be that obsessive.

    DD has been in her crib since day 1.  I don't really worry too much about her.  I do have a video monitor but I rarely turn it on to check on her.  I really on if she is awake when I put her crib, I watch it to check and see when she falls asleep. She is a pretty loud sleeper, so I can easily hear her on the monitor.  You will drive yourself crazy if you constantly obsess over sids.  Just try and relax as much as possible.

    No, I don't worry.  My LO has slept in his own room by himself since we got home from the hospital.  We don't have a baby monitor, but he sleeps in the bedroom next to ours and we keep the doors open.  If he sneezes, cries or gets hiccups, we hear it, and can check on him.  He's bfing, so he doesn't sleep through the night.  So I end up feeding him every 2 - 4 hours at night anyway.  He sleeps in a crib on his back on a positioner every night.

    Nope.  We put her in her crib the minute we came home from the hospital.  That crib is probably the safest place in the house for her.

    I get up to check on lo once a night(besides feedings).  I am sure your lo will be ok if her/his crib is not loaded with blankets, bumpers or stuffed animals-  they are major triggers of SIDS.

    I am with you. I worry about DD, and I am obsessed with our video monitor and I will stare at it until I see her little chest rise. We ended up buying video monitor new on Ebay so it was about half the price as the store but with how obsessed with it I am I probably would have paid full price.

    Our daughter has been in her crib from day 1 as well.  Her nursery is right next door to us, so we just leave the doors open.  I do not worry about her, but if I do not hear her for a while (i.e. the 3-4 hour intervals between feedings) then I check on her.  Just take the precautions needed.
