[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why people have this badge of pride over starting them in their own room from day 1. That sounds miserable. I can’t imagine having to get out of bed and walk to a different room 5x a night. SO much easier to literally just sit up, grab the baby out of the Halo, feed him with my eyes closed, plop him back in and lay down again.

With each kid we’ve moved them between 4-6 months when they started to wake less frequently. [/quote]
Don't you change their diaper in the middle of the night? Every time baby woke, I'd change and feed them. Baby slept in our room, and I would get out of bed, take them next door to the nursery, change/feed/swaddle and then it was back to their bassinet (I would then have to pump after, but that was a different story...) I tried to avoid baby nursing in bed, because, for me, I was concerned it would lead to baby sleeping in bed, and I didn't want to start that habit. Baby was sleeping 5-6 hours stretches by 8 weeks, so I was only getting up once or twice a night.[/quote]

I do change diapers 2x a night the first month or so, then 1x until 8 or 10 weeks. Then my kids usually stop pooping at night and do fine with their wet diaper. But I keep all supplies in the pocket of the Halo and do it quickly on the bed by the light of my phone flashlight (that I just lay on the bedside table.) That’s still preferable to me than leaving the room. We keep things cool in general but especially with babies for SIDS prevention so I really dislike getting out of a warm bed. Also my kids are tiny and neither has done 5-6 hour stretches until closer to 4 months. [/quote]
