Newborn - own room or your room?

Lucas is coming up 4 months and started in a bassinette beside our bed, not just because he didn't cry (he shuffled around and my ears tuned into that noise and i woke up??!! Who knew that would be enuf) and as he was a LONG baby he went into a cot very quickly, I have his cot beside my bed now, i dont know if i would hear him otherwise and as its freezing where i am, its convenient to just reach over grab him and feed him and put him back, but each to their own and you have to find what works for you.

Hiya, I had every intention of putting Lincoln in his own room from day one....but he spent the first two nights not only in our room but in our bed. Be prepared for the emotional seperation you might feel. Lincoln went down fine and went to sleep right away but I climbed into bed and cried my eyes out. After 9 months with this person living within you 24/7 I felt lonely with him in the other room!!! DH was right beside me and I know I was just being silly but I was scared for Lincoln?!?!? I didn't want him to wake up alone. As the others have pointed out they are noisy sleepers so I soon had him back in his bed with the monitor on and the door slightly ajar.
Hope thats some help.
