sleeping arrangements

Based on any number of books there are any number of philosophies when it comes to where the baby should sleep. In the US, it is usually in his own room as soon as possible. Throughout the rest of the world though, its usually in the same room as his parents or even the same bed.

With Rohan, we have tried to do a little of both. When he was born, he slept in a cradle in our room. As he got a bit bigger, we had to fix the cradle in place to keep it from rocking as he rolled around. Luckily he "outgrew" the cradle just as we moved. He had been rolling around so much that we had to stick the bumpers on -- but then he went and got his legs stuck on the bumpers a couple of times

Anyways...For our stay in Colorado -- Rohan again slept in our room, but he graduated up to the Graco Pack & Play. Its a great portable crib and not too expensive. Came with a little changing platform that i never used as well as a little mobile. We're even using it now to keep an extra crib in the house.

Now, at are latest home - and we've set up Rohan with his own room. So far its going okay -- we've got a monitor right next to our bed so we know when to get up and take care of him. Honestly, i don't even think Rohan notices a difference....
