sharing a room with baby
How many of you share or will be sharing a room with your little one? this is my first baby and my bf and i wont be moving out until next summer most likely, so we dont live together and my daughter will be staying with me. i live in a pretty small house, so she is sharing a room with me. what have your experiences been like and does it make taking care of the baby any easier since we are in the same room together? does anyone have suggestions or advice about this?
Me and my boyfriend live with my mom and not sure for how long....im worried about space because we dont have much also worried about me and my bfs love life :(
Yup her crib and changing table are in our room since we currently have a one bedroom
Thank you! ill have a crib in my room along with my full size bed.. i just feel a little cramped thats all but i can see the positives of it. i didnt know it was so common to have the baby in the room with mommy
Right now my husband and I are having to live with my sister our oldest son has been sleeping in the room with us since he was born and we won't be getting our own place with his own room until September when he's 13 months old
My room is extra spacey. I have a whole wall simply covered in a shelf and racks for my heels and boots and sneakers. (I am a shoe addict) unfortunately that'll have to give up that for some extra space for the crib but I don't mind at all. It's temporary.
My son slept in his Moses basket which was beside my side of the bed for the first four weeks. But, because he is so long, he quickly outgrew his Moses basket in that every time he moved or stretched, he sit the sides or the top (yes his feet were at the bottom) and woke himself up several times a night. At 4w 3d, we moved him into his cot in his own room and he practically sleeps right through the night, he has only ever been up maximum twice overnight since he went to his cot - he can stretch and wriggle to his hearts content and because he doesn't hit anything, he stays asleep. We have the monitor on of course, and we go to check him just before we go to sleep, and if we get up through the night to go to the bathroom, and his room is just across the hall so we hear him when he makes noises. His Moses basket is now downstairs in the living room and he only goes in it to nap x
Still in the process of getting my almost three year old out of our bed. The new baby will be in its own room. Not all the time though. I know ill be exhausted with a three and four year old with a new baby
My son has his own room, we have a 4 bedroom house.. But we have the pack and play in our room and his swing. He also sleeps in the bed with us. I get so anxious if I can't see my little hammy so it's best for him to be in our room with us but once he's a few months he'll be in his room but for now... He's with me :)
Me and my partner will have our baby with us in a bassinet until they outgrow it. I will feel more at ease with baby next to me especially when my partner isn't Home
We co sleep, and only have 2 bedrooms for a 6 person family. Our 3 older ones share a room, and we will share one with baby. Ive shared a room with all my little ones till about a year. I absolutly love it and love being that close to thrm!
I live in a one bedroom till June of next year. And she will be sleeping in a bassinet on MY side of the bed lol. We'll upgrade to a two bedroom next year, she will be 7 months by then and that's when I'll give her her own room. For now I like the idea of having her with me
I say it's way better its easier on you at night and mostly everything is right next to your bed so you won't have to get up 5 times a night to go get what you need.
Were going to room share. Get a co sleeper arms reach or a bassinet. That's what were getting. Were going to switch her over to the crib when she is about 3-4 months.
My bf and I are moving into our own place next week. But the first few months the baby will be staying in our room, I feel like it'll be much easier and comforting. although his room will be connected to ours by a bathroom anyway.:) good luck!
Me and my husband can't afford to have a two bedroom so we are currently looking for a one bedroom. I'm sixth months preg. and we are hoping to be out of my mom's by the time my daughter is born and i am a little disappointed that i can't give my daughter her own room, but if our circumstances and finances were different i would definitely give her her own room. But im kinda excited to share a room. I mean it will be cramped and cluttered but i get to have her next to me at all times. And at night it will be easier to get up and take care of her
All my kids shared a room with me until they were 8 months. I find it so much easier to wake up plus they don't feel alone. I am also a very cautious mom and if I can't see my baby I go crazy
