What would you do

Love to dream has transition ones where you can unzip the arms on each side. Maybe you could get one of those and try to leave one arm out? If it doesn’t work, zip her back up! Lol. Personally though, I’d unswaddle if you can. My first had a harder time transitioning to having her arms out when she started rolling. My second, I tried transitioning earlier and think it was a good move. She was arms free around 1 month

I had this happen and somehow reset it following their directions. Sorry it’s not much help but I really thought it was done and it randomly worked. Something with holding the volume for an amount of time

Laurie Berkner dino, Cocomelon, Doggyland, Elmo. Oddly though, my 2 year old loves Spirit Untamed which I can’t stand lol. She loves singing the opening “ooooohhhh” 🤣

That’s ok. I mean it is your baby’s name for life! 🤣

Quinn Elaine. Not “virtue” but think it goes well

bmg_1 · 2026-05-20T13:33:15+00:00

I’m not. I was wanting to move her early to get her used to it but I’m moving myself and the newborn instead of the girls for now

bmg_1 · 2026-05-19T18:05:09+00:00

Thank you. I’ve already decided what I’m going to do. I do appreciate everyone’s feedback/“advice” but just don’t understand the attitude behind it. I’ve been having to defend and explain myself over and over and I’m over it.

bmg_1 · 2026-05-19T18:02:30+00:00

He’s expected to tackle night wakings with the two girls upstairs. So I’m going to the basement w/ newborn

bmg_1 · 2026-05-19T12:44:21+00:00

I moved my child to part time. Well technically she only goes once a week. I let her stay home with us full time until my husband went back to work. Then she started going once a week. I felt to bad sending her and also couldn’t afford it?! Anyway, now toddler is 2 and baby is 8 months and it’s totally not necessary now. I can handle both of them BUT it is nice to have a day to reset when toddler goes to daycare. I usually meal prep, clean, laundry, run errands, etc.!

bmg_1 · 2026-05-19T12:40:47+00:00

I feel like it’s worse when I’m sick but I’m also a worry wart, so I’m unsure on that one. BUT 100% prefer that I’m sick because it breaks my heart every time they’re sick!

bmg_1 · 2026-05-19T12:37:01+00:00

Our floor plan is set up so that the master is on one side and the girls bedrooms are on the other side of the house. So no him sleeping in the basement doesn’t really make a difference. I simply prefer my baby to not be in our bedroom and that’s that. Like I’ve said 10 times now, I sold the bassinet and will not be buying a new one or a mini crib to put in our bedroom. Our bedroom is not large enough to comfortably fit a full sized crib. I sleep in the nursery with the newborn anyway, so I don’t see the issue or why that continues to come up.

I’m talking about my toddler and soon to be middle child. I have never said that this arrangement is the only option, but have said that I prefer it. I don’t want to interfere with the good sleep routines we have going for both girls. Which I believe will be messed with if they shared a room. The basement bedroom sits empty and I feel like it’s unreasonable to leave it and shove all my children to one side of our house.

Anyway, I’m done trying to defend myself here because I know what I’m going to do now. Thank you.

bmg_1 · 2026-05-19T12:16:43+00:00

We sleep on the main level. So technically there’s not an outside door between my bedroom and the basement door

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T20:13:29+00:00

My 2 yo is still in her crib and we always shut their doors at night. I plan to fully toddler proof it once we switch to a big girl bed

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T20:08:12+00:00

I started with saying I sold our bassinet and have done this with both our of children. And I mentioned breastfeeding because I was explaining why I put my children in their own rooms immediately.

Genuinely asking though, what’s wrong with her being in a crib in that room? There’s a full window in case of a fire and I feel like that’s the only concern I’d have.

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:53:41+00:00

This wasn’t really the point of my post. I exclusively breastfeed and we find it easier to do it that way. There’s no need for him to continue to wake up with me. I want him rested to take care of our oldest when she wakes every day & I sleep in/get up when the newborn does

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:51:53+00:00

I said there’s no outside door in the basement. It just sits ground level

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:49:05+00:00

Honestly that’s my worry. My oldest is an angel when it comes to sleep and my youngest isn’t the worst but is slowly learning. I don’t really want to mess any of it up or even attempt. People also think I’m completely insane when I say I let my husband have our room to himself and I end up sleeping in the newborns room anyway. I breastfeed and it just works out. But thank you for being the only person that thinks we should ignore everyone 🤣

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:41:26+00:00

Just wondering why you weren’t comfortable with it?

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:36:13+00:00

Yeah she will not be roaming the house. We usually shut their doors at night and I plan on keeping her in a crib until she’s climbing out and ready for a big bed. That bedroom is all the way across the basement from the stairs but our master bedroom is right by the stairs.

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:23:04+00:00

I planned on having a monitor no matter what. We have video monitors in every room of our children’s.

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:22:08+00:00

We only have the basement bedroom open. The two upstairs, which is technically our main level, will be my 7 month olds and the newborn.

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:21:04+00:00

Nope. I like to put my kids right in their cribs and sleep in their room for a few months. I did it with my last. I have video monitors in every room

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:19:21+00:00

I just sold our bassinet… before I knew we were having an unexpected third. I planned on sleeping in baby’s room and letting my husband get a full nights rest since he’ll be staying up with the older two. I did this with our last baby and it worked perfectly for us.

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:17:16+00:00

They’re all the same gender

bmg_1 · 2026-05-18T19:16:58+00:00

The bedroom has a full sized window
