I keep meaning to write an update on this – we moved her out a few months ago now, and have to agree that we have all slept much better so I’d totally agree with you! It’s so easier not having to worry about waking her up with every noise we make in the room, and disturbing her when we come to bed or get up. Lucky you with your lie-ins though! I will drop some hints to Eliza that that is what other babies do 😉

Hello! How are you getting on – I can’t believe Imogen is nearly six months old now (I really remember you posting about her birth, it doesn’t seem like that long ago at all…) We made the big step and put Eliza in her own room a few weeks ago. I was still very reluctant though, but it’s been fine so far. And it is really nice having the extra space in our room once again, I have to say! xx

Hi Gillian! Great blog, have loved reading it! Is Eliza in her own room now? Our eldest two Olivia and William were in our room until they were a year, I loved seeing them when I woke up and found it really easy with feeding (yes, they were still waking for night feeds too!) and I was really quite upset when we moved them into their own rooms, so in my book you are entirely normal! Imogen is now 5 1/2 months old and I’ve no immediate plans to be putting her into a bedroom….but then she is my last and want to enjoy our morning (middle of the night) moments for as long as possible!
On the positive, when they are in their own rooms, it really is delightful when you go into their room in the morning and their little faces light up…..and you do do get your bedroom back! x

I think that’s really good advice, thank you! We’re going away this weekend so might take the *big step* when we get back…I think…:-)

That’s really good to hear and something to focus on! Funny how motherhood turns you into such a light sleeper (although I can now go to sleep really easily as I’m so tired!) Thank you for the comment, looking forward to reading your blog too x
