When we brought Tash home from the hospital, my parents were staying with us and were sleeping in her room. So the first 2 weeks of her life she slept in our room in a bassinet. It was at that point that Owen decided she was too 'noisy' and we moved her to her crib in her room.
This time, Kate is in our room, in the same bassinet because unfortunately her room and N's are the coldest in the winter and warmest in the summer. So we made the decision to have her in our room until things warmed up as we do not trust a space heater in there and turning up the heat does not help. We think it's an insulation issue for that side of the house.
Anyway, Owen is still not 'excited' to have her in our room, again she's "noisy" like her sister was, but not only that, she is sleeping in our bed more then Tash did. Owen sees it as an issue down the road, when we move her to her room/crib. I on the other hand see it as convenient.
She sleeps soo much better in bed beside me. Plus it's soooo much easier to just reach on my nightstand, grab her bottle and feed her while I'm toasty warm under the duvet vs getting out of bed, walking to the other side of the room, feeding her, getting her back to sleep and then getting myself back to sleep. So for me, it's 'easier'.
I have to admit too, I really love having her in bed with me. I'm getting a bit sentimental, but I'm pretty sure this is our last 'baby' and I want to stretch it out and enjoy these 'little' moments as much as I can.
Try that cling-film stuff on the windows. I would bet that it'll help tremendously, esp. if they are north-facing.
ReplyDeleteOn co-sleeping, we loved co-sleeping with E. Moving E to her own room was never a problem for us, she continued to sleep well with no issues. I hope it goes the same for you.
I still love sleeping with my kiddo!!! ...she is 3 though...
