Re: parents who put their newborns to slp in another room is WRONG.
^Haha. Cute. I make sure hubby says Shab Bakhair & we love you after I put her to sleep in her crib. That is after reading Ayat ul Kursi, 4 Quls & "sonay ki dua"
My daughter slept with us in our bed but on her infant summer sleeper for 6 weeks, then she slept in our room but in her own crib till 3 months. At 3 1/2 months she started sleeping in her crib in her own room. We have a baby sound monitor. We started from leaving bedroom doors open (her room is right across ours) to slightly closing hers & then completely closing her & our door.
Poor child is down with Croup since Saturday & slept in our bed for 3 days. Now from tonight we will be moving in her room till she gets better.
No offence OP but you are being too judgmental. Just because my baby doesn't sleep with me doesn't mean I am less of a mother. If our being "jannati" counted like this then heck what about all the pain I took during pregnancy. (mines was hell)
*Biggest reason I want my daughter to sleep in her own room is because I used to share my room with my sisters & to this date. I m a married mother of one I can't sleep alone in a room & that has been embarrassing at times I had to stay at someone else's place. *
In USA doctors don't recommend letting the baby sleep in the same bed as parents. There is more chances of a child having SIDS if they are co sleeping. Babies are supposed to sleep on slightly harder mattress then us adults.
As far as the blankie getting on the baby's face is concerned. Babies are not supposed to have any loose clothing lying around them anyways. My baby wears a blanket sack where she doesn't get cold at night & there is no way she can suffocate.
On top of everything else as some posters mentioned parents need their time as well. What about intimacy. I can not even fathom the thought of having my baby in the same room at times like these.
okkkkkkkkkk who said sharing room with sisters...?Im talking about one small infant, not a 15 year old teenager....my parents thankgod are in a comfortable position now, but then i was born they were not. they only had one bedroom, so i slpt with them until i was 7...until they moved out and were better off etc etc however, i never had a slping alone problwm, i was excited about the prospect of my own bedroom, its judgemental too, thinking that because you slp with the infant in the same room as you, that itl grow older to not want to be alone in a room. do i even remember slping with my parents in their room? nope. so how can this be true that getting rid of your baby in another room for your privacy is called independency....imagine me telling my mum that my 10 week old wants independency......how laughed out the room will i be....
anyway i guess if these children stay out late and dont want to spend time wth their parents when their older because of their independency i guess these parents will be pleased..............AND YESSSS i know kids who are also independent who have been slping with parents in same room, yes yes yes i know. but im making the independency point here, no one is talking about smothering your child untiltheir adults..
