If newborn’s bassinet is in your bedroom, how does your partner manage sleep? Right now we have the bassinet in the baby room and there is also a bed for an adult to sleep there. Whoever is looking after the baby can use that. Wondering if we should move the bassinet to our bedroom. We do miss having him by the bed side sometimes

We also had our baby next to us for the first few months + ear plugs for the parent who got to sleep. We mostly did turns like one to wake up up to 2 AM and the other after.

My sis had the bassinet in her room for quite a while. When fellow came to visit us while she was looking for a place, we slept in the room with the bassinet because I was frightened I wouldn’t hear him

We kept both of ours in the bassinet next to the bed or in bed with us for the first 3 months. The hassle of going to a different room was too much

We moved our NB in to her own room at 5 weeks. Best decision for all of us. She’s slept through since 8 weeks and we are all better people for it😂 (disclaimer we did use the owelet and snoo for tracking)

We kept the bassinet in our bedroom and found that alternating shifts worked well for us. One of us would sleep in another room on the off-nights to ensure decent rest. Having our little one nearby brought peace of mind, and it was easier to respond quickly to nighttime needs. It’s all about balance!

I kept mine in our room until she was about 4 months. It can be hard to put them in the other room alone lol

Sound machine during night sleep is clutch tbh. Baby will get used to it and after they’re like a month old they won’t react as much to quiet noises like dog shakes, door opens, etc.

First 2 or 3 months we had crib in our room. I wish we moved it to separate room earlier. We all would have slept better

Having the bassinet in your bedroom can make nighttime feedings and comforting easier, plus you get those extra sweet moments together. However, having a separate bed in the baby’s room for whoever’s on baby duty can also ensure better sleep for your partner. Maybe try alternating setups?

We had a similar setup, and eventually moved the bassinet to our bedroom. It made night feedings easier and we loved having our baby close by. To help with sleep, we invested in earplugs and a white noise machine for my partner. It became a smoother routine for us and kept everyone happy!

When my kids were babies, we had one of those sidecar/co-sleeper bassinets. That worked well for a while. But if the partner not on baby duty is a light sleeper, no shame in rocking earplugs, if you want to bring baby back. GL!

It's definitely a balancing act! Having the bassinet in your bedroom might help foster a closer bond and make nighttime care more convenient. You could try alternating weeks or nights so that one of you gets a solid rest in the separate room while the other is on baby duty. Might be a win-win!
