We moved my son to his crib in his own room at 3 weeks. We slept better, but even more important for me, he did too! He hated his bassinet & we seemed to wake each other up all night. I have zero regrets and I don’t give a rats booty what anyone thinks about it because it’s what worked best for everyone in our family. Keep talking about things like this please!
What a great choice for you and your baby! Agree that we need to keep having these conversations and support moms who need to or want to make different decisions than us.
Ours were in their own room day one. I 100% agree this is a very individualized decision. As long as baby is in their own space without blankets it’s fine!
Yes! Safe sleep principles can be applied to a crib/bassinet in many locations. Fully support their own room from day 1 if that’s what was best for you ❤️
Both my kids were in their rooms at 8 weeks. I have a video monitor on my nightstand that may as well be the baby right next to me. We are all happier for it.
Love this. Especially "One of the reasons I think being a parent is so hard today for millennials is because we have access to the internet where you can find a million conflicting examples of “the right way to parent.” And we end up stacking ourselves and our kids against actual experts and people who represent themselves as experts who claim to have finally found the exact right formula for parenting."
I wrote about this very thing not too long ago. It's so infuriating! I appreciate that you share even in the face of criticism so others won't feel so alone.
Also... My last kid wasn't technically in our room even day one (we put the pack in play in our master closet) so that he was separate from us but still close. 🤷♀️ so no judgement here!
Day 2 at home, my daughter was in her own room. Husband put her down in there, I thought… ok I’ll move her back after the first wake up. But I didn’t. And it was fine. To each their own.
She’s 2, healthy, normal attachment to us, all the normal stuff. Pregnant with second kid, and we will do it again.
