Having your baby snoozing nearby can be wonderful for bonding, but may mean your relationship habits need some tweaking
Create new bedroom time
If you’re finding it tricky to recreate the quality couple time that you used to enjoy in there, perhaps take this as a chance to try something new. ‘Think about other ways you can enjoy time in there together,’ says Christine. ‘These can involve your baby so it becomes a new family space, as well as be just for the two of you.’Keep baby gear in another roomJust because your baby’s in your room, it doesn’t mean all her things have to be, so move non-essentials into her nursery now and hold onto key items in a corner near her Moses basket.
And get creative. Those linen shoe/clothing racks you hang on the wall or back of the door are ideal for storing nappies.For most parents, having their baby sleep in the bedroom is temporary – the Department of Health recommends it for the first six months – before you move her into her nursery. Try and enjoy the bonding bonus of having her so nearby but, if you’re struggling, remind yourself it’s only a short-term situation.
