It depends on individual . I feel sleep training is not necessary so young so i prefer to sleep with my baby in the same room as me so that I can monitor him easily especially when the first few months there is higher risk of SIDS. It is also more convenient for me not to go to another room to check on him.
I make him sleep separately in his cot in my room as I am afraid I will risk his safety if I make him sleep together with me in the same bed. I don't let the car caregiver to sleep with my 3 week old baby, No way!!
It depends which school of thought you identify with. My girl has slept in her own bed in her own room from day 1 and she's fine. I do have a baby monitor so I know if she cries and/or needs attention.
I play it safe and keep baby beside me as baby is still very young. Sniffles or regurgitate you may not be able to hear it. Also in the early period of time, baby needs security and warmth.
It's up to what kind of sleep style you want to go with, but the best is to minimally keep him in the same room! My son and I co-sleep since birth, 26 months now and still going :)
My baby has his own room and he’s 3 months old now but never once slept there. We co-sleep instead.. we have another cot in our room but baby prefer to sleep with us..
3 week old baby, better to put the cot in your room and put him in his own cot. Better to be safe then sorry. You wouldn't want to take the chance.
Is really depends on yr parenting style. If u truly believe is forth trimester- u would wan to try cosleep with bb especially u bf.
Sleep in his own cot but with you in your own room if possible so you can wake up easily to feed baby in the middle of the night.
I think 3wks old too vulnerable to sleep alone. They can actually choke on vomit n not able to cry loud enough to let u hear.
