The AAP now recommends babies sleep in the same room as Mom for at least six months and preferably the first year. Separate bed, firm surface, no blankets, on their back, etc. (no changes there). Still - same room for ideally a year? Who is planning on that? I know hardcore co-sleepers, but very few people who are eager to have the crib in the master bedroom that long. Thoughts?

They also said this year that nursing mom's shouldn't feed in a recliner or a couch and only laying down on a bed with no blankets, pillows or bedsheets. Ha! It's so ridiculous nowadays with all their recommendations. I stopped listening, it's really out of hand.

Ours is a noisy sleeper so he was in his crib at 3 weeks in his own room. We have a video monitor. He wakes up 2-4 times a night anyways so I'm always checking on him. I'm not concerned about sids. He doesn't have anything in his crib and he sleeps in a sleep sack. Even if he was in my room I still wouldn't know if he stopped breathing... 5 ft or 50 ft.. doesn't make a difference. They make recommendations but honestly it's not going to stop sids 100%. If something happened and your lo was in your room.. you would be sleeping and still wouldn't know unless you were constantly watching him. Sorry just confused mama over here.

Not gonna happen. My daughter has been in her own room since 4 months. She's such a good independent sleeper. I just lay her down in her bed and she puts her self to sleep. I will be doing the same with my future children because it's amazing to have some peace and quiet at night lol. Not to mention she's a loud active sleeper like her dad so if I had them both in the room I'd never sleep 😂

Our daughter slept in our room for the first month, and none of us got any sleep. I woke up to every single one of her grunts, snores, and moans, and she woke up basically every time one of us rolled over. Finally we put her in her own room, in her crib, and she started sleeping 12 hours straight. It was wonderful. For the most part, I enjoy having her there, but my boyfriend's gone a lot of the time so I sometimes wish she was closer. If I wasn't so scared of messing up her sleep pattern, I'd move her back in with me while he's gone.

I breast feed for the first year so my little guy initially was in a travel bed and then moved to his crib. His crib is still in our bedroom and he's 14 months. He'll soon be moving into a shared room with my step son. I plan on having this baby in a bassinet initially and then will most likely keep her in my room for the first year as well.

LO sleeps in her pack and play newborn sleeper in our room during the night and her crib durring the day. She throws up often and I fear without someone listening she could breath it in so definitely easier on the mind to have her close

Nope. I planned to have her in the room with us from day one.

It was basically already our plan, so we're not making any changes, really.

Do your research, talk to doctors, read the studies, and then figure out what works for your family. Not everyone is going to be able to follow this to a T nor will everyone want to. But at least we can be informed and do what we think is best. What we all have in common is we LOVE our children and would do anything for them.

Do the new American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines change your sleeping arrangement plans?
