Sleep

I miss dd being in my room at night

Just moved dc3 into her own room, she's nearly four months.

I would have liked to keep her in my room for a bit longer, but dh doesn't like baby in our room as it keeps him awake.

I miss her and she looks so tiny in her cot Sad

I could sleep in with her as there is a bed in her room but the mattress is uncomfortable and I struggle on it.

I didn't have this turmoil with my older two, maybe it's because it's my last baby. I know SIDS guidelines recommended baby in with you for six months but we were disturbing her when we came to bed and she'd outgrown her basket.

I resent my dh because he partly wants room to ourselves so we can chat, read, put light on etc but we have a whole life time for that. On the other hand my older two sleep so well I'm reluctant to do too much different with this one. I'm a bit mixed up really.

We do co sleep from early morning or on bad nights, which I love.

Your dh is selfish, dd should be with you until six months. Could you not squeeze a travel cot into the room so you don't wake her when you come to bed. Also tell your dh to grow up.

We use white noise so we don't disturb DD when we go to bed.

4 months is against medical guidance. Babies should be in the same room as you till 6 months. To do otherwise is a SIDs risk, you know this but does your DH?

I'm still cosleeping with my 16 month old. I love waking up with her. Your DH is being selfish IMO?

Maybe he could sleep in the spare room?

Or if you can't budge him, why not get a comfortable bed for your DD's room for the both of you?

Put dh in the single bed in her room and keep her with you.
