[quote=Anonymous]We did shift sleeping like this for about the first 6-8 weeks. It was important to us that both of us got adequate sleep. It worked quite well. I wouldn’t say we were full of energy and super well rested but neither of us was delirious with sleep deprivation. Around 6-8 weeks, we dropped it as the baby started sleeping longer stretches.

We actually did not ever room share, in the formal sense— our baby was always in her own room/crib, with black out shades and low white noise going. We stopped sleeping in her room when we stopped sleeping in shifts and just used a baby monitor instead. I agree that the “room until 6 months” advice is just a rough guideline and doesn’t need to be followed to the point that you or your parent needs to literally sleep in the baby’s room until they are 6 months.

Btw, you’ll see a lot of advice and guidelines when you become a parent. Sometimes the advice makes sense for your family, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it’s well-supported by evidence, sometimes it’s not. And sometimes what is advised in the US is actually counter to other countries, etc. This is one of those guidelines that I think does not need to be followed to the letter as long as you practice other safe sleep things— nothing in the crib until a certain age, etc.[/quote]
