I've been noticing the last couple of nights with Connor that he's really not sleeping properly in his moses basket.
he's very fretful and thrashes around the makes a lot of noise in the basket. This morning I ended up putting him in our bed on the mattress next to me - he stretched right out and immediately fell asleep. Now and then he'd throw his arms out in his sleep and I suddenly wondered if the moses basket is too cramped for him? Not length wise, but in the width? I left him and hubby co-sleeping (they had about half the big bed each) and Connor looked so comfy stretched out (like a little crucifix!!).
Our room is very small, but we're going to bring the big cot in tonight to try him in as I think he moves around a lot in his sleep and he disturbs himself in the basket.
If this works is he too young at 5/6 weeks to go into this own room? he'll be right next door and house is so small you can hear him cry wherever you are. Also we've got a monitor we use when he goes upstairs to bed in the evening and we're still downstairs.
He naps in the day in his bouncy chair quite happily.
When did your babies go into their own rooms??? He's a very noisy sleeper anyway so for our sanity if he settles in his cot tonight then maybe we should move him into his own room fairly soon after??
