I just scraped into the May Babies group thanks to the intervention of a great obstetrician.
She was 10 days late and arrived by C-Sect after a failed induction & 36hrs of laboring!
We've named her Elle.
Question....hoping someone can give me some advice here (first time Mum). Is two weeks too young to move to her own room?
She squeaks & snorts & farts & makes so much noise while sleeping, plus with the waking for feeding & resettling, Daddy has moved out to the spare room a few times. Surely if we put a monitor in her room ( possibly one of those video feed ones) that would be ok?
Any thoughts for or against would be warmly appreciated!
If it was totally up to me, I'd move her into my bed so I could cuddle her all night & let Daddy move to the spare room!!! (it's ok, we don't co sleep & understand the risks it presents...was just joking!).

Elena - most of us use the facebook page now if you are interested in joining?! Small world haha
LuckyMum2b - No advise of moving baby into her own room as Mckenna is still in our room at 6 weeks old and I dont see her moving anytime soon. Some people start their babies off in their own room from the start!

**lurker** LuckyMum2B - my baby slept in her own room from day 1 at home (2 days old) She is a VERY restless sleeper, and I would NEVER sleep if she slept in my room. Her room was right across from ours, so we didnt even bother with a monitor. I felt comfortable enough to have her in her own room as I knew I would wake at the smallest sound if need be - but it is completely up to you as to how you feel, no right or wrong choice her.
(co-sleeping is nice for cuddles sometimes, and we still do it every now and then - more as a treat for me than for her)
Enjoy your little one

Congratulations luckymama2be, I had DS in his room from when we got him home. Had a monitor so always heard him. Little ones can be so noisy! Bed cuddles are lovely but I never sleep well when the kids are in there.

luckymama2be our little girl has been in her own room next door to ours since we got home from the hospital and she's nearly 6 weeks old now. I cam hear her without a monitor but we do have an angel care monitor on her bed which monitors her breathing.

Thanks for your thoughts ladies.
MammieB - we love the co-sleep cuddles too, special bonding time for Mums.
Leap - do the angel care monitors also provide an ear in the nursery? So you can use it for both movement & sound monitoring?
Glad to hear others have moved babes to their own rooms early too, all of my friends have been at least 12 wks, some io to 5 months before moving to their own rooms.

Hi LuckyMym2B! My little one is 5 weeks and he is in our room, my daughter moved to her own room when she was 6 weeks old and my first born was in my room till he was about 7 months. Just do what you are comfortable with! You should join our group on Facebook, no one seems to post on here anymore =)
