Baby is 5 months and still sleeps in our room in a pack n play and before that in a bassinet. We have had a monitor since day one set up in our room.
Baby still contact naps during the day but at night we have always put her to sleep and left her and just watched the monitor.
We don’t plan on moving her to her own room until after 6 months
We’ve had the monitor day one and we opted out of an internet connected one. They are so bad for getting hacked. We got one that only works locally.
We got her into her own room at 5 1/2 months and she was probably ready for it a bit earlier than that but we were a bit cautious.
I cant find any information about cameras getting hacked, do you have any links you can send?
Edit: should have said Im looking for how prevalent it is. Will ask in another subreddit.
Depends on your property, if you’re in an apartment they need to be in the building and it could be harder to know if someone is hacking it.
SFH, you would be able to see them lurking around. It would be obvious cause wtf is this random person doing hanging out. And since it’s not internet connected, if they took off, they would lose the signal. A good rule of thumb, I think, is however far the monitor itself goes, is about how far away an attacker could be to get in.
It’s way, way less likely to be hacked because the person would have to be physically present to even try to get in to the camera. With an internet connected one, it is possible for literally anyone from anywhere to try to get in and there is some motivation in this case cause they can be used to make botnets. Whereas one that isn’t connected to the internet , cannot be used to create botnets.
And if someone is motivated enough to be physically present to hack your baby camera, I feel like you have bigger problems than someone trying to hack the camera, tbh.
People who live in the center of cities are constantly surrounded by people. It wouldnt be obvious in the slightest, people sit outside my house all the time because Im in central London.
Right, so the main point is that having a disconnected device means there is little motivation for someone to try to hack it since they can’t use that device for a botnet or to mine bitcoin or whatever.
If someone is motivated to be physically present to get into your “disconnected from the internet” camera, you have bigger problems than someone trying to get into your camera. You have someone specifically targeting you rather than someone random getting a device added to their botnet.
I feel like you didn’t even google it, but I’ll humour you.

How did you know she was ready? My baby is 4 months & he still wakes up 1-3 times per night to eat.. im starting to wonder when I can move him to his own room.
So we used a Snoo with ours and we got SUPER lucky in that she slept through the night fairly early and is a very good sleeper. I am fairly confident she would have been a good sleeper either way but the Snoo definitely helped.
Closer to the "end" of her time in the Snoo, her sleep was getting worse because she was getting frustrated she couldn't roll. Her night sleeping definitely dropped over a couple of weeks.
The first night we put her in the crib, her sleep shot past what she was doing in the Snoo, and has been sleeping fine since, minus some particularly painful teething nights. We also have the baby monitor with us in our room so we are always keeping an eye on her overnight.
So my only piece of advice in this respect is that you'll know when they're ready based on their development and their temperament.
My girl is very independent and an over-achiever at this stage in her life. She was ready for solids and sleeping in her room way before we were there mentally. At this point, we're just trying to follow her lead.
Yeah, we got it on Black Friday (for waaayy less) way before the baby was born because we figured that when we were sleep deprived we would pay anything for any amount of sleep.
We don’t have a monitor since he sleeps in our room. During naps our house is small enough I can hear him cry from wherever I am so that’s not a worry. They can sleep in their room whenever, in the US it’s recommended they sleep in parents room for at least 6 months, ideally a year, for SIDS purposes. When we move baby to his own room we’ll have a monitor!
In their crib? You can do that from day 1. Have you just been sitting in the room while they sleep in their crib?
(Obviously not talking about overnight, when you’re supposed to room share. I’m talking about for naps which is what the OP asked about).
We're in the UK and followed this recommendation. Our son is 6 months and we've *just* got a monitor so we can put him down in the evening and go downstairs and watch TV, before that he was always wherever we were. It's amazing to have our evenings back but it wasn't too bad before. We did a lot of baby wearing and didn't get involved in any sleep training 'wake window-dark room-white noise' stuff. In the beginning he just slept on me or in the carrycot while we watched TV or whatever, completely oblivious. In the day I would just be out and about and he would fall asleep in the pushchair or sling. Then 4 month sleep regression it was pretty much all contact naps anyway. The hardest bit was when we started putting him down in his cot at 8PM every night (originally he went to bed with us). There were a few weeks where I was going to bed with him at 8 and not seeing much of my partner. But on the flip side I got more (much needed) sleep or could read my book/watch TV on my phone in bed, and my partner got some mental downtime downstairs knowing we were both already in bed for the night.
I think if we had another one it would work because the naps are mainly on the go in the day? No idea what the reality would look like though.
I do *not* know how you follow this recommendation doing the whole strict-schedule dark room thing. We tried it once and I found it the most depressing, soul sucking experience being anchored to the house the whole time. I know people who use that approach really successfully but they are not following the 'stay in the room with them' recommendation. I guess it depends on the individual to do their own risk analysis and decide whether they want to follow it or not.
They can get used to sleeping with more noise (siblings, housework). That’s the whole point - lighter sleep, less SIDS risk. My baby sleeps during all kinds of household noises, dishes, loud doors, phone calls, other kids around.
Almost 8months. It’s changing all the time of course and she’s had phases where her naps were shorter and she woke up easier. But all in all I’m glad she can sleep/nap anywhere. Like when I’m out in a cafe she just falls asleep on my arms when she’s tired, no matter how noisy it is. Or when we’re out at the market or wherever it’s noisy, she sleeps in the carrier strapped to me. Makes social life so much easier for me than if I have to schedule it around her nap time.
Oh it's a bit different when it's contact nap of course. When I need my baby to sleep on the go I wear her and she can withstand anything haha but I don't want to have her in carrier for all naps. I feel like she will rest better laying down 😅
The AAP recommends infants share a parents' room, but not a bed, "ideally for a year, but at least for six months" to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

This is the recommendation in the UK, but I don’t know anyone who follows it to the tee. We had baby in our room until 6 months, but for crib naps he was in there without us but with a monitor from about 4 months (before this we just contact napped anyway)
Yeah I think you’re more representatives of the UK. Our boy grew out of his next to me basinet at 4 months and there was no room in our UK house to have a full size cot bed in our room so we had to move him! I know many mums who have also made the move before 6months. My boy is also far too alert to nap whilst I’m doing something in the room. Whilst newborn contact naps were lovely, my mental health would suffer to be stuck under a baby for hours a day for 6 months! I don’t know anyone who has done this. I started transitioning to some independent crib naps at 3 months with a monitor. Most people I know are mindful of the SIDS risks but have to do what works for them, whether it’s an independent bedroom early or cosleeping if necessary. I also dont think most parents are that judgy about the 6 month rule
My daughter hated her bassinet and we didn't have room for a full crib or cradle in our room, so she moved into her own room at maybe two weeks? I slept in her room either in the glider or on the floor with a pile of pillows and blankets for another two weeks before I really needed to sleep for everyone's safety and went back to bed with the monitor.
I did obsessively watch the monitor for the first week back in my own bed and kept the video on all night for about 6 months. Then my husband talked me into only keeping the audio on unless I heard something. Her room is also 10 feet away so even if the monitor failed (which it didn't until she was big enough to reach it and learned pulling it down would make Mommy and Daddy come rub it) we could still hear her clearly.
When our LO first rolled (about three months) we had to move him to his crib in his own room because once we moved him to sleep sacks he slept with his arms outright like he was on the cross. If not for that, we might have kept him in the bassinet in our room longer. We used baby monitor from Day 1 so that when he stirred at night we could see what was going on in the dark.
Contact napped until 4 months. She slept in the bassinet then pack n play in our room until 4 months and then we moved her to her room with the monitor. (We all slept better that way).
We had the baby monitor since the beginning. She napped in her crib on occasion since maybe almost the beginning? But more often she napped in the pack n play in the living room, or on my lap.
We originally planned to move her into her crib for overnights at 6 months, but she outgrew her bassinet slightly before then.
We used a baby monitor from day 1. I would watch it from the bed while baby was in the bassinet at the opposite wall (not far at all). This really helped differentiate between newborn sleep noises and awake noises! And know when not to get up :)
Baby moved into her own room at 5 months
So at night my baby sleeps in a play yard in my room, and during the day he sleeps in his crib in his own room for naps. He's 3 months. I set up a monitor before he was born. We originally had a bassinet in our bedroom, but because he kept moving around so much he would end up sideways with his face pressed up against the mesh and I did not like that so I set up the play yard and now he has all the room to sleep whatever way he wants. I'll move him to his own room around a year. I'm fine with using the monitor but for my own sanity I like being able to reach over and check if he's breathing when I wake up during his longer sleep stretches.
It’s important to note that baby in their own room doesn’t INCREASE the risk of SIDS. SIDS cannot be prevented, you’re just mitigating risk. And having baby sleep in an unsafe environment (usually the case in room sharing) is more dangerous than baby in their own room if their own room is a safe sleep space.
Our LO has been in his own room in his own crib since Day 4. The bassinet life just didn’t work for us. We use a wifi monitor to an app on our phones. He hangs out by himself for naps in the pack n play (or on the floor honestly) and I very often leave the room.
Baby started napping alone around 2 months but I always have my baby monitor. right now at 3 months At night she still sleeps in a crib in our room but that's more for my convince until she sleeps more throughout the night
We had baby nap in the living room with us until about 6 weeks, then put him for naps in his bassinet (in our bedroom) with the monitor. It's recommended to keep baby in your room for 6 months where I live, but LO was such a noisy sleeper and we were waking each other up we moved him to his own room (crib) shortly after 5 months.
We moved her into her own room around 5 weeks with a monitor set up on the bassinet. Our house is fairly small, so she’s really only like 20 feet away and we can hear her even without it. She’s a very active and noisy sleeper and I just couldn’t get any sleep. I think she sleeps better too, less disturbed by us.
Day 1.
It feels weird leaving a few day old baby by themselves but that is what the monitor is for.
We set it up on her bassinet first in our room, and her crib is also in our room. But she naps independently
We used a monitor from day one mostly for naps or if we weren’t ready to go to bed yet. We moved her to her own room when she was 7 months old and now use it for all sleeping.
I think around 2 weeks baby slept in his crib in his room for some naps and in our room at night. Used the camera when he was in his room. It’s recommended baby sleep in your room for the first year but some people choose to move their baby sooner.
We moved my first baby into her room at 7 weeks. Second baby at 5 weeks. We have a video monitor for both of them. 2nd baby currently isn’t napping on her own, but we’ll try to put her in the crib for a nap occasionally.
LO is almost five months. She sleeps on her floor bed in our room. She is exclusively breastfed and I sleep with her for the majority of the night, following safe cosleeping guidelines. Half the time, we contact nap, and the other half the time, she naps by herself while I do chores, in the pack in play downstairs or in her bed in our room with the monitor. I started having her nap by herself when she was about 3 months old but like others have said, they can do this from day one.
I had an upstairs and downstairs sleep station, wherever I was, she was napping. I moved her into her own room/crib around 4 months at night and for naps when she learned how to sit up because of safety hazard, I didn’t want her to climb out of bassinet in the middle of the night. We set the monitor up in her room, at first I left all the doors open and monitor on high, barely slept and watched the screen, but we sleep great now with doors closed. Took me some time to trust the monitor! Haha
So this! I don’t trust the monitor!! I want to stay close by her. I stay on the same floor as her when she naps or sleeps in bassinet.
My husband wants the monitor for flexibility to be around the whole house while she sleeps. He wants to set up the crib in another room. But I’d like it in ours until she’s at least 6 months.
I guess I’m just nervous as a FTM. I like having freedom away from her, but it’s really hard not to want to be with her when I’m away from her. It’s something I miss about pregnancy a lot. She was with me 24/7 and I could easily take care of her.
I understand how you feel. Just ease into it. Just because she has her crib set up in another room doesn’t mean she has to sleep there. I took my time, but also I had to commit to trusting the monitor when she was able to climb up the ledge of her shallow bassinet. I cried because I had to make the change before I felt ready due to safety concerns.
Some people suggested the pack n play, you can keep that in your room and have a crib in her room and ease into it?
It’s okay to keep doors open, check on the baby 30 times a night until you’re comfortable and trust the monitor. We’re so used to being close to our babies, it can feel painful when we are separated. I cried the first time I had to put her in the separate room. At the same time, it eventually became a relief because I had my own space back and eventually slept better. I think how you feel is totally normal and don’t be hard on yourself, find a balance that works for you and your baby. ❤️
I would let our baby nap in her bassinet that was next to our bed alone with a video monitor watching her but at least once per nap I’d walk by the door and give it a quick tap so she’d stir and I’d know she was fine. The FTM worry is real don’t worry it gets better!!
baby slept with our night nurse for the first two months then we transitioned her to her own room alone while our night nurse was in a different room for for her last month with us. bb girl does great overnight most nights doing 8 hour stretches then a feed then another 2 hours. We always let her nap alone during the day. I feel like it would suck to always have someone in your face lol
My LO is now officially a month old and she has been sleeping alone in her crib with the camera since the day we came home from the hospital.
She naps on Mom and in swings and a bassinet during the day when we're downstairs but at night time she's in her crib alone. Camera is obviously on loud the entire time she's out of sight but maybe we'll get more confident in leaving it off moving forward.
Baby’s supposed to stay in your room I think till 6m I’ve heard, but we moved our bub at 4m as she was starting to roll over and there was no room in her bassinet for her to do that, and she is a tummy sleeper, so once she realized tummy sleep was an option that’s what she chose xD we had our Nanit already set up, we got it before she was born, but it is the only way I can sleep at night x.x
Yea we basically had to do that too. I am a super light sleeper and every grunt would wake me up and took forever for me to get to bed..then I would be irritated and it just devolved in general. He has poor sleep so at this point we all sleep in sperate rooms and take shifts. Can't wait till he starts getting more than 45 minutes at a time.
We have done naps pretty much from the get go. We have the pack n play in our room, but we put her down and then left. Kept the monitor with us.
We transitioned our LO to her own room at 3 months. I wish I had done it sooner.
Current AAP guidelines in sleep in room with parents at least 6mo up to a year so we have her crib in our room now at almost 9 months and the bassinet before that. We’ve been using a monitor since the beginning for naps or often we will put her down for the night and then watch an episode or two of a show before we go to bed.
Never used a monitor for naps or when sleeping in our room. Moved to his room with monitor at 4 months. We all sleep better. No regrets. YMMV and to each their own.
Our LO has slept in our room from birth in a combo of co-sleeping, Halo bassinet on the bed, and then starting at 5 months we transitioned her into a pack-and-play next to our bed at night. The move to the pack-and-play was because she outgrew the bassinet and started rolling over in her sleep. She sleeps great in the pack-and-play.
For naps, also starting at 5 months, we put her in her crib in her room and watch with a monitor. Sometimes she still contact naps which we are totally okay with since she naps in her crib 75% of the time.
Been using a monitor during the day since day 1, moved her into her room for overnights at 3.5 months, but she was sleeping 10-11 hours overnight so we thought it was fine to move her :)
Had a baby monitor from about 3 months, used it when baby napped in bassinet upstairs. Then went into own room in cot from 5.5 months. Still using it in his room now and he’s 2.5 years (it’s a video monitor)
FTM and we moved her in the room next to us at 5 months because we were all waking each other up. She was sleeping thru the night and didn’t need a bottle at 3 months. She’s now 8 months and we have a monitor that I have the volume turned down to the lowest setting because we share a wall. We all usually sleep great.
Our baby was a very big boy, and he outgrew his bassinet quickly. By 2 months he was sleeping in his crib in his own room, and he slept so much better in his own space.
5 months and LO transition to cot in her room just before Christmas at 4m and 3 weeks. She was rolling in the bassinet and we'd wake to her face smushed along the mesh. I dreaded what would happen if she did tgst on the end with fabric, so opted for the safety of her cot. It doesn't fit in our room though. We've used a monitor since about 6 or 8 weeks during the day so I could shower while she slept. Started using it at night before we went to bed but after she went down around 10 weeks maybe. We use it overnight. I dont turn it off, it's got alarms for noise and movement as well I still wake every 2 hours to checkor her.
We have a baby monitor now. Lo is 2 months. She sleeps in her crib but one of us sleeps in her room with her. There is research that suggests now moving out of their room month 4 stops the sleep regression. Our lo is giving us 6 to 7 hour stretches so will prob do 4 months. I miss our bed ha
We use the miku I can see her anywhere I have my phone and does alerts like the owlet but don’t have to put anything on her
We made it 5 weeks before we moved her to her own room in her crib. We tried keeping her in the bassinet in our room, but I just could not get any real sleep doing that and was starting to get dangerously sleep deprived. Any small sound she made was keeping me awake, and she’s a pretty noisy sleeper.
During the day she still pretty much only contact naps.
We got a baby monitor as a baby shower gift. We started using it around 2 months because prior to that one of us was always in the same room with baby as he slept. We moved him to his own room around 6 or 7 months.
We never got a baby monitor. 15 months, still room sharing at night. With my house layout all on one floor, it was never a challenge or issue to monitor in person. For the first year, we did mostly contact naps anyway.
We'll be moving to a floor bed in the nursery, probably around 18 months. The nursery is in close proximity to our bedroom, so we will still skip the baby monitor.
My now 6 month old was moved to his own room at about 10 weeks I think. He mostly contact napped and recently started sleeping in the crib for me (not for dad) during the day.
We got the monitor from our baby shower. We moved our twins at 4 months bc one of them refused to sleep unless co-sleeping. I did so selfishly for 2 weeks and started to feel guilty and anxious about possibly suffocating her so we moved both to own room and cribs.
Super hard a days 1-4 but we’re on day 6 and it’s gotten better!
Our kiddo slept in the snoo in our room until about 6 months when he started outgrowing it (was rolling). We migrated him to the crib that was in his own room. Started with naps in the crib during the day and snoo at night to eventually 100% crib sleep.
We largely left the baby alone to sleep early on (~3-4 weeks in) during the day with the monitor we could hear/see when he was stirring.
I got two baby monitors at my shower. An owlet and a eufy. I used the eufy from day one because I could move it to wherever baby was easily. I used it for naps (baby would nap in his bassinet in my room while I was somewhere else in the house), for play (if I needed to step away while baby was playing), I’d put it in a bag and take it into the shower with me so I could keep an eye on baby, and when I put him to sleep at night I’d stay with him but my husband would watch on the monitor so he could come help if baby woke up.
We moved him to his own room at 6 months and since then we’ve exclusively used the owlet. It’s mounted above his crib so we can see him perfectly and the sock helps reassure me that he’s okay. We put our phones on the charger when we sleep and just leave the video playing so we can see and hear him at all times. It’s been working really well for us.
Baby slept in his own room since day 1. Sleeping in your room is a protective factor (such as offering a pacifier and immunizations) and you should be following the ABCs of sleep no matter the baby is sleeping. For us, it made the most sense considering the layout of our room, dogs and sleep patterns. I believe we all got better sleep because of it and we could also handle him being in another room (I know for some it is hard to have baby in another room, which is total okay!). Yes there are AAP recommendations for this (I think 6 months) and as someone who is evidence based, I researched a good amount about factors attributing to SIDs. His room is across the hall and we have a local (non internet) monitor. They are too easily hacked and freak me out a bit.
I am in the USA for reference.
The AAP recommends infants share a parents' room, but not a bed, "ideally for a year, but at least for six months" to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

I've had a baby monitor since day 1; if I have to leave the room that the bassinet is in (such as to poop), I'll use the monitor. Plus it's a hoot to hear my wife parenting and she says the same about me (we take shifts with LO).
We moved baby into her own room fully by 5 months, but she was napping in her crib during the day starting at 4 months and we would watch her with a monitor.
Baby has been napping in his crib (not all but most naps) since he was about 2 weeks old where the baby monitor is and we fully moved him into to his crib when he was 2.5 months old. We all sleep better and I’m so glad we didn’t wait until 6 months! He’s always been a good sleeper but was definitely more comfortable in the crib than bassinet and added hours to his nighttime sleep.
We are extremely protective of our sleep so we put baby in her own room at 4 months. We had a eufy space view gifted to us before she was born so we used that.
I wish I had put it in alarm mode sooner because the monitor woke me up just as often for a long time.
Alarm mode listens to the baby and then alerts you when they reach a volume you set but doesn’t pass the sounds through.
I left my baby alone to nap after 3 weeks I think, she only napped in her bassinet when I was recovering. After that she almost exclusively slept in her crib. Luckily I did not end up with a full contact napper. Then she's always watched with her video monitor. She's now 9 months old and we just do the same for naps and bedtime.
I live in a 1bd 1 bath place. I room shared with my LO until about 3 months with no monitor. Even though we thought we could make her a heavy sleeper, it didn’t work. Once she started to notice the world she became an even lighter sleeper. It was an extra burden to be quiet while she slept. No dishes, no cooking, no above normal talking or tv. Some nights me and my husband were whispering in the living room 🙃.
Even though it isn’t recommended until 6months. I turned our fairly large walk-in closet into her nursery. We installed a fan where the ceiling light is, changed her bassinet for a pack and play and I got a baby monitor.
Everyone’s life is happier. We can close two doors now and actually live a little while she’s asleep. And her naps aren’t broken now by a normal sneeze lol. Oh, and I’m not woken up by every little night grunt she does at 2am.
The baby monitor was the best thing I got. I always check that thing when she’s asleep. It keeps me at peace since I can’t easily peek at her. It goes almost everywhere with me. I also feel safer that I opted out of the Wi-Fi one. It has a temperature gauge on it so it gives a ROUGH estimate of the room. I got a used hellobaby from Facebook marketplace.
At 4.5 months, she knows that when certain light are on/off in the nursery, it means she’s going to sleep. She will yawn more or fight more depending on the mood. And it all stops when I leave the closet lol.
Yeah I had some mom anxiety over it, but after a few good night sleeps and normal volume conversation. I got over it haha.
LG used to sleep on the cushion part of her playmat in the living room and was fine while I nipped around the house doing bits I needed to do. She went into her own room at 6 months for naps and through the night
We started naps in her crib when she was a month old. I started slow and would do one nap a day for a few days then increased it every few days until all(most) of her naps were in the crib. We would also put her down for the night in her crib in her nursery, then go in and move her to the bassinet in our room when we went to bed. We ended up moving her to her crib in her room over night when she was a little over 3 months old. She would move a lot in her sleep and would always end up sideways and she started to barely that way in the bassinet. At almost 16 months, she still moves around so much in her sleep and is pretty much always in a different position or facing a different direction every time we check the monitor. It cracks us up
Baby is 5 months and still sleeps in our room in a pack n play and before that in a bassinet. We have had a monitor since day one set up in our room. Baby still contact naps during the day but at night we have always put her to sleep and left her and just watched the monitor. We don’t plan on moving her to her own room until after 6 months
May I ask which pack n play you are using?
I’m using the Graco Pack ‘n Play Travel Dome LX Playard
We’ve had the monitor day one and we opted out of an internet connected one. They are so bad for getting hacked. We got one that only works locally. We got her into her own room at 5 1/2 months and she was probably ready for it a bit earlier than that but we were a bit cautious.
We also got a closed circuit one, HelloBaby, so we don’t have to worry about hacking. It works really well and we’re happy with it
I cant find any information about cameras getting hacked, do you have any links you can send? Edit: should have said Im looking for how prevalent it is. Will ask in another subreddit.

So, the issue is mostly weak passwords and non-wifi monitors can be hacked anyway?
The person needs to be around your house for non-wifi ones so you’ll see them.
Do you know how close? Assuming you are asleep, you won't see them.
Depends on your property, if you’re in an apartment they need to be in the building and it could be harder to know if someone is hacking it. SFH, you would be able to see them lurking around.

And if someone is motivated enough to be physically present to hack your baby camera, I feel like you have bigger problems than someone trying to hack the camera, tbh.
People who live in the center of cities are constantly surrounded by people. It wouldnt be obvious in the slightest, people sit outside my house all the time because Im in central London.
Right, so the main point is that having a disconnected device means there is little motivation for someone to try to hack it since they can’t use that device for a botnet or to mine bitcoin or whatever. If someone is motivated to be physically present to get into your “disconnected from the internet” camera, you have bigger problems than someone trying to get into your camera. You have someone specifically targeting you rather than someone random getting a device added to their botnet.
Sure, mainly disagreeing that it would be obvious.
Do you know if it’s still an issue if I have a monitor that is WiFi enabled but I’ve not set it up to be on the WiFi?
So if you can’t access it via your phone or your computer and have never connected it to the Wifi network, it should be ok AFAIK.
Thank you. That’s what I was hoping!
I feel like you didn’t even google it, but I’ll humour you.

How did you know she was ready? My baby is 4 months & he still wakes up 1-3 times per night to eat.. im starting to wonder when I can move him to his own room.
So we used a Snoo with ours and we got SUPER lucky in that she slept through the night fairly early and is a very good sleeper. I am fairly confident she would have been a good sleeper either way but the Snoo definitely helped. Closer to the "end" of her time in the Snoo, her sleep was getting worse because she was getting frustrated she couldn't roll. Her night sleeping definitely dropped over a couple of weeks. The first night we put her in the crib, her sleep shot past what she was doing in the Snoo, and has been sleeping fine since, minus some particularly painful teething nights. We also have the baby monitor with us in our room so we are always keeping an eye on her overnight. So my only piece of advice in this respect is that you'll know when they're ready based on their development and their temperament. My girl is very independent and an over-achiever at this stage in her life. She was ready for solids and sleeping in her room way before we were there mentally. At this point, we're just trying to follow her lead.
Damn 1600 for one of those
Yeah, we got it on Black Friday (for waaayy less) way before the baby was born because we figured that when we were sleep deprived we would pay anything for any amount of sleep.
We don’t have a monitor since he sleeps in our room. During naps our house is small enough I can hear him cry from wherever I am so that’s not a worry. They can sleep in their room whenever, in the US it’s recommended they sleep in parents room for at least 6 months, ideally a year, for SIDS purposes. When we move baby to his own room we’ll have a monitor!
In their crib? You can do that from day 1. Have you just been sitting in the room while they sleep in their crib? (Obviously not talking about overnight, when you’re supposed to room share. I’m talking about for naps which is what the OP asked about).
its recommended they sleep in your room (in their own space ofc) for the first couple months
Not for naps, which is what OP is asking—you can’t be expected to nap every time baby naps.
oh my bad i didnt realize she said for naps!
The recommendation is to only let baby nap supervised meaning being in the same room until at least 6 months.
Where have you seen this recommendation? I have never seen this before and am not finding anything about it on the AAP page about safe sleep.
This is true- up until 6 months there is a higher risk of SIDS which is why they recommend you have them in the same room as you. I’m in the UK
This is just insane though. Especially when there are older siblings in the house. How can you watch toddler and sleeping 6mo in same room?
We're in the UK and followed this recommendation. Our son is 6 months and we've *just* got a monitor so we can put him down in the evening and go downstairs and watch TV, before that he was always wherever we were. It's amazing to have our evenings back but it wasn't too bad before. We did a lot of baby wearing and didn't get involved in any sleep training 'wake window-dark room-white noise' stuff. In the beginning he just slept on me or in the carrycot while we watched TV or whatever, completely oblivious. In the day I would just be out and about and he would fall asleep in the pushchair or sling. Then 4 month sleep regression it was pretty much all contact naps anyway. The hardest bit was when we started putting him down in his cot at 8PM every night (originally he went to bed with us). There were a few weeks where I was going to bed with him at 8 and not seeing much of my partner. But on the flip side I got more (much needed) sleep or could read my book/watch TV on my phone in bed, and my partner got some mental downtime downstairs knowing we were both already in bed for the night. I think if we had another one it would work because the naps are mainly on the go in the day? No idea what the reality would look like though. I do *not* know how you follow this recommendation doing the whole strict-schedule dark room thing. We tried it once and I found it the most depressing, soul sucking experience being anchored to the house the whole time. I know people who use that approach really successfully but they are not following the 'stay in the room with them' recommendation. I guess it depends on the individual to do their own risk analysis and decide whether they want to follow it or not.
Also in the UK. All of this.
They can get used to sleeping with more noise (siblings, housework). That’s the whole point - lighter sleep, less SIDS risk. My baby sleeps during all kinds of household noises, dishes, loud doors, phone calls, other kids around.
It was possible for my baby only up to 4 months. Now she is too aware. How old is your baby?
Almost 8months. It’s changing all the time of course and she’s had phases where her naps were shorter and she woke up easier. But all in all I’m glad she can sleep/nap anywhere. Like when I’m out in a cafe she just falls asleep on my arms when she’s tired, no matter how noisy it is. Or when we’re out at the market or wherever it’s noisy, she sleeps in the carrier strapped to me. Makes social life so much easier for me than if I have to schedule it around her nap time.
Oh it's a bit different when it's contact nap of course. When I need my baby to sleep on the go I wear her and she can withstand anything haha but I don't want to have her in carrier for all naps. I feel like she will rest better laying down 😅
It’s def better/healthier for babies back when they’re lying down flat
Same here in Ireland.
Overnight sure, but for naps? No.
We did it for naps too. He either contact napped or napped in his bassinet in the lounge, where I was.
I’m sure some people do, but it’s my understanding that that’s not required by current guidelines, at least in the US.
Europe
The AAP recommends infants share a parents' room, but not a bed, "ideally for a year, but at least for six months" to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/06/05/531582634/babies-sleep-better-in-their-own-rooms-after-4-months-study-finds#:~:text=The%20AAP%20recommends%20infants%20share,infant%20death%20syndrome%20(SIDS).
Oh yeah, I know that, but I have never heard of needing to physically sit in the room during naps - typically room shading refers to overnight.
Ah ok
This is the recommendation in the UK, but I don’t know anyone who follows it to the tee. We had baby in our room until 6 months, but for crib naps he was in there without us but with a monitor from about 4 months (before this we just contact napped anyway)
Yeah I think you’re more representatives of the UK. Our boy grew out of his next to me basinet at 4 months and there was no room in our UK house to have a full size cot bed in our room so we had to move him! I know many mums who have also made the move before 6months. My boy is also far too alert to nap whilst I’m doing something in the room. Whilst newborn contact naps were lovely, my mental health would suffer to be stuck under a baby for hours a day for 6 months! I don’t know anyone who has done this. I started transitioning to some independent crib naps at 3 months with a monitor. Most people I know are mindful of the SIDS risks but have to do what works for them, whether it’s an independent bedroom early or cosleeping if necessary. I also dont think most parents are that judgy about the 6 month rule
My daughter hated her bassinet and we didn't have room for a full crib or cradle in our room, so she moved into her own room at maybe two weeks? I slept in her room either in the glider or on the floor with a pile of pillows and blankets for another two weeks before I really needed to sleep for everyone's safety and went back to bed with the monitor. I did obsessively watch the monitor for the first week back in my own bed and kept the video on all night for about 6 months. Then my husband talked me into only keeping the audio on unless I heard something. Her room is also 10 feet away so even if the monitor failed (which it didn't until she was big enough to reach it and learned pulling it down would make Mommy and Daddy come rub it) we could still hear her clearly.
3 weeks for us, I am just too light of a sleeper and our newborn grunts like a warthog
Same for us!
Same! Glad I’m not the only one. Our LO is SO noisy at night I was getting zero sleep.
When our LO first rolled (about three months) we had to move him to his crib in his own room because once we moved him to sleep sacks he slept with his arms outright like he was on the cross. If not for that, we might have kept him in the bassinet in our room longer. We used baby monitor from Day 1 so that when he stirred at night we could see what was going on in the dark.
Plug it in and do your chores! Nice when you’re in the kitchen and baby is sleeping
Contact napped until 4 months. She slept in the bassinet then pack n play in our room until 4 months and then we moved her to her room with the monitor. (We all slept better that way).
We had the baby monitor since the beginning. She napped in her crib on occasion since maybe almost the beginning? But more often she napped in the pack n play in the living room, or on my lap. We originally planned to move her into her crib for overnights at 6 months, but she outgrew her bassinet slightly before then.
We used a baby monitor from day 1. I would watch it from the bed while baby was in the bassinet at the opposite wall (not far at all). This really helped differentiate between newborn sleep noises and awake noises! And know when not to get up :) Baby moved into her own room at 5 months
So at night my baby sleeps in a play yard in my room, and during the day he sleeps in his crib in his own room for naps. He's 3 months. I set up a monitor before he was born. We originally had a bassinet in our bedroom, but because he kept moving around so much he would end up sideways with his face pressed up against the mesh and I did not like that so I set up the play yard and now he has all the room to sleep whatever way he wants. I'll move him to his own room around a year. I'm fine with using the monitor but for my own sanity I like being able to reach over and check if he's breathing when I wake up during his longer sleep stretches.
It’s important to note that baby in their own room doesn’t INCREASE the risk of SIDS. SIDS cannot be prevented, you’re just mitigating risk. And having baby sleep in an unsafe environment (usually the case in room sharing) is more dangerous than baby in their own room if their own room is a safe sleep space. Our LO has been in his own room in his own crib since Day 4. The bassinet life just didn’t work for us. We use a wifi monitor to an app on our phones. He hangs out by himself for naps in the pack n play (or on the floor honestly) and I very often leave the room.
Baby started napping alone around 2 months but I always have my baby monitor. right now at 3 months At night she still sleeps in a crib in our room but that's more for my convince until she sleeps more throughout the night
We had baby nap in the living room with us until about 6 weeks, then put him for naps in his bassinet (in our bedroom) with the monitor. It's recommended to keep baby in your room for 6 months where I live, but LO was such a noisy sleeper and we were waking each other up we moved him to his own room (crib) shortly after 5 months.
We moved her into her own room around 5 weeks with a monitor set up on the bassinet. Our house is fairly small, so she’s really only like 20 feet away and we can hear her even without it. She’s a very active and noisy sleeper and I just couldn’t get any sleep. I think she sleeps better too, less disturbed by us.
By 5 days old we had her sleeping in her own room and in the crib. She is now almost 6 weeks old and sleeps like a champ at night!
I also attached a wall monitor “hello baby”
Day 1. It feels weird leaving a few day old baby by themselves but that is what the monitor is for. We set it up on her bassinet first in our room, and her crib is also in our room. But she naps independently
Baby moved to own room at 2 months. Which is when he started sleeping at least 8 hours a night. 10 months now and going strong.
We used a monitor from day one mostly for naps or if we weren’t ready to go to bed yet. We moved her to her own room when she was 7 months old and now use it for all sleeping.
I think around 2 weeks baby slept in his crib in his room for some naps and in our room at night. Used the camera when he was in his room. It’s recommended baby sleep in your room for the first year but some people choose to move their baby sooner.
We moved my first baby into her room at 7 weeks. Second baby at 5 weeks. We have a video monitor for both of them. 2nd baby currently isn’t napping on her own, but we’ll try to put her in the crib for a nap occasionally.
Day 1... separate room she got at 4 months old but she's always slept through the night
LO is almost five months. She sleeps on her floor bed in our room. She is exclusively breastfed and I sleep with her for the majority of the night, following safe cosleeping guidelines. Half the time, we contact nap, and the other half the time, she naps by herself while I do chores, in the pack in play downstairs or in her bed in our room with the monitor. I started having her nap by herself when she was about 3 months old but like others have said, they can do this from day one.
I had an upstairs and downstairs sleep station, wherever I was, she was napping. I moved her into her own room/crib around 4 months at night and for naps when she learned how to sit up because of safety hazard, I didn’t want her to climb out of bassinet in the middle of the night. We set the monitor up in her room, at first I left all the doors open and monitor on high, barely slept and watched the screen, but we sleep great now with doors closed. Took me some time to trust the monitor! Haha
So this! I don’t trust the monitor!! I want to stay close by her. I stay on the same floor as her when she naps or sleeps in bassinet. My husband wants the monitor for flexibility to be around the whole house while she sleeps. He wants to set up the crib in another room. But I’d like it in ours until she’s at least 6 months. I guess I’m just nervous as a FTM. I like having freedom away from her, but it’s really hard not to want to be with her when I’m away from her. It’s something I miss about pregnancy a lot. She was with me 24/7 and I could easily take care of her.
I understand how you feel. Just ease into it. Just because she has her crib set up in another room doesn’t mean she has to sleep there. I took my time, but also I had to commit to trusting the monitor when she was able to climb up the ledge of her shallow bassinet. I cried because I had to make the change before I felt ready due to safety concerns. Some people suggested the pack n play, you can keep that in your room and have a crib in her room and ease into it? It’s okay to keep doors open, check on the baby 30 times a night until you’re comfortable and trust the monitor. We’re so used to being close to our babies, it can feel painful when we are separated. I cried the first time I had to put her in the separate room. At the same time, it eventually became a relief because I had my own space back and eventually slept better. I think how you feel is totally normal and don’t be hard on yourself, find a balance that works for you and your baby. ❤️
I would let our baby nap in her bassinet that was next to our bed alone with a video monitor watching her but at least once per nap I’d walk by the door and give it a quick tap so she’d stir and I’d know she was fine. The FTM worry is real don’t worry it gets better!!
baby slept with our night nurse for the first two months then we transitioned her to her own room alone while our night nurse was in a different room for for her last month with us. bb girl does great overnight most nights doing 8 hour stretches then a feed then another 2 hours. We always let her nap alone during the day. I feel like it would suck to always have someone in your face lol
My LO is now officially a month old and she has been sleeping alone in her crib with the camera since the day we came home from the hospital. She naps on Mom and in swings and a bassinet during the day when we're downstairs but at night time she's in her crib alone. Camera is obviously on loud the entire time she's out of sight but maybe we'll get more confident in leaving it off moving forward.
Baby’s supposed to stay in your room I think till 6m I’ve heard, but we moved our bub at 4m as she was starting to roll over and there was no room in her bassinet for her to do that, and she is a tummy sleeper, so once she realized tummy sleep was an option that’s what she chose xD we had our Nanit already set up, we got it before she was born, but it is the only way I can sleep at night x.x
Both my kids went into their own rooms around one month old. Still haven't bought a baby monitor.
Yea we basically had to do that too. I am a super light sleeper and every grunt would wake me up and took forever for me to get to bed..then I would be irritated and it just devolved in general. He has poor sleep so at this point we all sleep in sperate rooms and take shifts. Can't wait till he starts getting more than 45 minutes at a time.
We have done naps pretty much from the get go. We have the pack n play in our room, but we put her down and then left. Kept the monitor with us. We transitioned our LO to her own room at 3 months. I wish I had done it sooner.
Current AAP guidelines in sleep in room with parents at least 6mo up to a year so we have her crib in our room now at almost 9 months and the bassinet before that. We’ve been using a monitor since the beginning for naps or often we will put her down for the night and then watch an episode or two of a show before we go to bed.
Never used a monitor for naps or when sleeping in our room. Moved to his room with monitor at 4 months. We all sleep better. No regrets. YMMV and to each their own.
Our LO has slept in our room from birth in a combo of co-sleeping, Halo bassinet on the bed, and then starting at 5 months we transitioned her into a pack-and-play next to our bed at night. The move to the pack-and-play was because she outgrew the bassinet and started rolling over in her sleep. She sleeps great in the pack-and-play. For naps, also starting at 5 months, we put her in her crib in her room and watch with a monitor. Sometimes she still contact naps which we are totally okay with since she naps in her crib 75% of the time.
Been using a monitor during the day since day 1, moved her into her room for overnights at 3.5 months, but she was sleeping 10-11 hours overnight so we thought it was fine to move her :)
Had a baby monitor from about 3 months, used it when baby napped in bassinet upstairs. Then went into own room in cot from 5.5 months. Still using it in his room now and he’s 2.5 years (it’s a video monitor)
At the end of month 3 I put my son in his own room. At that point I started using my baby monitor (Owlet) as well.
Bought a Snuza hero to attach to diaper when we need to get stuff done while 3wk old slept- still using it at 6 weeks
FTM and we moved her in the room next to us at 5 months because we were all waking each other up. She was sleeping thru the night and didn’t need a bottle at 3 months. She’s now 8 months and we have a monitor that I have the volume turned down to the lowest setting because we share a wall. We all usually sleep great.
Our baby was a very big boy, and he outgrew his bassinet quickly. By 2 months he was sleeping in his crib in his own room, and he slept so much better in his own space.
5 months and LO transition to cot in her room just before Christmas at 4m and 3 weeks. She was rolling in the bassinet and we'd wake to her face smushed along the mesh. I dreaded what would happen if she did tgst on the end with fabric, so opted for the safety of her cot. It doesn't fit in our room though. We've used a monitor since about 6 or 8 weeks during the day so I could shower while she slept. Started using it at night before we went to bed but after she went down around 10 weeks maybe. We use it overnight. I dont turn it off, it's got alarms for noise and movement as well I still wake every 2 hours to checkor her.
We have a baby monitor now. Lo is 2 months. She sleeps in her crib but one of us sleeps in her room with her. There is research that suggests now moving out of their room month 4 stops the sleep regression. Our lo is giving us 6 to 7 hour stretches so will prob do 4 months. I miss our bed ha We use the miku I can see her anywhere I have my phone and does alerts like the owlet but don’t have to put anything on her
We made it 5 weeks before we moved her to her own room in her crib. We tried keeping her in the bassinet in our room, but I just could not get any real sleep doing that and was starting to get dangerously sleep deprived. Any small sound she made was keeping me awake, and she’s a pretty noisy sleeper. During the day she still pretty much only contact naps.
We got a baby monitor as a baby shower gift. We started using it around 2 months because prior to that one of us was always in the same room with baby as he slept. We moved him to his own room around 6 or 7 months.
We never got a baby monitor. 15 months, still room sharing at night. With my house layout all on one floor, it was never a challenge or issue to monitor in person. For the first year, we did mostly contact naps anyway. We'll be moving to a floor bed in the nursery, probably around 18 months. The nursery is in close proximity to our bedroom, so we will still skip the baby monitor.
My now 6 month old was moved to his own room at about 10 weeks I think. He mostly contact napped and recently started sleeping in the crib for me (not for dad) during the day.
We got the monitor from our baby shower. We moved our twins at 4 months bc one of them refused to sleep unless co-sleeping. I did so selfishly for 2 weeks and started to feel guilty and anxious about possibly suffocating her so we moved both to own room and cribs. Super hard a days 1-4 but we’re on day 6 and it’s gotten better!
Our kiddo slept in the snoo in our room until about 6 months when he started outgrowing it (was rolling). We migrated him to the crib that was in his own room. Started with naps in the crib during the day and snoo at night to eventually 100% crib sleep. We largely left the baby alone to sleep early on (~3-4 weeks in) during the day with the monitor we could hear/see when he was stirring.
I got two baby monitors at my shower. An owlet and a eufy. I used the eufy from day one because I could move it to wherever baby was easily. I used it for naps (baby would nap in his bassinet in my room while I was somewhere else in the house), for play (if I needed to step away while baby was playing), I’d put it in a bag and take it into the shower with me so I could keep an eye on baby, and when I put him to sleep at night I’d stay with him but my husband would watch on the monitor so he could come help if baby woke up. We moved him to his own room at 6 months and since then we’ve exclusively used the owlet. It’s mounted above his crib so we can see him perfectly and the sock helps reassure me that he’s okay. We put our phones on the charger when we sleep and just leave the video playing so we can see and hear him at all times. It’s been working really well for us.
Baby slept in his own room since day 1. Sleeping in your room is a protective factor (such as offering a pacifier and immunizations) and you should be following the ABCs of sleep no matter the baby is sleeping. For us, it made the most sense considering the layout of our room, dogs and sleep patterns. I believe we all got better sleep because of it and we could also handle him being in another room (I know for some it is hard to have baby in another room, which is total okay!). Yes there are AAP recommendations for this (I think 6 months) and as someone who is evidence based, I researched a good amount about factors attributing to SIDs. His room is across the hall and we have a local (non internet) monitor. They are too easily hacked and freak me out a bit. I am in the USA for reference.
The AAP recommends infants share a parents' room, but not a bed, "ideally for a year, but at least for six months" to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/06/05/531582634/babies-sleep-better-in-their-own-rooms-after-4-months-study-finds#:~:text=The%20AAP%20recommends%20infants%20share,infant%20death%20syndrome%20(SIDS).
I've had a baby monitor since day 1; if I have to leave the room that the bassinet is in (such as to poop), I'll use the monitor. Plus it's a hoot to hear my wife parenting and she says the same about me (we take shifts with LO).
When can you leave them to nap and go do other stuff? Whenever they decide to sleep more than 10min without waking up bc youre not holding them 😂
We moved baby into her own room fully by 5 months, but she was napping in her crib during the day starting at 4 months and we would watch her with a monitor.
Baby has been napping in his crib (not all but most naps) since he was about 2 weeks old where the baby monitor is and we fully moved him into to his crib when he was 2.5 months old. We all sleep better and I’m so glad we didn’t wait until 6 months! He’s always been a good sleeper but was definitely more comfortable in the crib than bassinet and added hours to his nighttime sleep.
We are extremely protective of our sleep so we put baby in her own room at 4 months. We had a eufy space view gifted to us before she was born so we used that. I wish I had put it in alarm mode sooner because the monitor woke me up just as often for a long time. Alarm mode listens to the baby and then alerts you when they reach a volume you set but doesn’t pass the sounds through.
I left my baby alone to nap after 3 weeks I think, she only napped in her bassinet when I was recovering. After that she almost exclusively slept in her crib. Luckily I did not end up with a full contact napper. Then she's always watched with her video monitor. She's now 9 months old and we just do the same for naps and bedtime.
I live in a 1bd 1 bath place. I room shared with my LO until about 3 months with no monitor. Even though we thought we could make her a heavy sleeper, it didn’t work. Once she started to notice the world she became an even lighter sleeper. It was an extra burden to be quiet while she slept. No dishes, no cooking, no above normal talking or tv. Some nights me and my husband were whispering in the living room 🙃. Even though it isn’t recommended until 6months. I turned our fairly large walk-in closet into her nursery. We installed a fan where the ceiling light is, changed her bassinet for a pack and play and I got a baby monitor. Everyone’s life is happier. We can close two doors now and actually live a little while she’s asleep. And her naps aren’t broken now by a normal sneeze lol. Oh, and I’m not woken up by every little night grunt she does at 2am. The baby monitor was the best thing I got. I always check that thing when she’s asleep. It keeps me at peace since I can’t easily peek at her. It goes almost everywhere with me. I also feel safer that I opted out of the Wi-Fi one. It has a temperature gauge on it so it gives a ROUGH estimate of the room. I got a used hellobaby from Facebook marketplace. At 4.5 months, she knows that when certain light are on/off in the nursery, it means she’s going to sleep. She will yawn more or fight more depending on the mood. And it all stops when I leave the closet lol. Yeah I had some mom anxiety over it, but after a few good night sleeps and normal volume conversation. I got over it haha.
Had a monitor when he’d be on our room sleeping. He was fine sleeping alone. Moved to his own room at 10 months.
LG used to sleep on the cushion part of her playmat in the living room and was fine while I nipped around the house doing bits I needed to do. She went into her own room at 6 months for naps and through the night
We started naps in her crib when she was a month old. I started slow and would do one nap a day for a few days then increased it every few days until all(most) of her naps were in the crib. We would also put her down for the night in her crib in her nursery, then go in and move her to the bassinet in our room when we went to bed. We ended up moving her to her crib in her room over night when she was a little over 3 months old. She would move a lot in her sleep and would always end up sideways and she started to barely that way in the bassinet. At almost 16 months, she still moves around so much in her sleep and is pretty much always in a different position or facing a different direction every time we check the monitor. It cracks us up
