I cant sleep peacefully now that my toddler's sleeping in his own room

I do experience that too a few years ago. When I let my kids sleep in their own room a few years ago, I was also worried about them catching a cold, if there will be mosquitoes, or if I will hear them if I sleep. I end up keeping on going to the next room to check on them. I must say I could not sleep too, and end up very tired the next day. I do understand your anxiety too. As they grow up, I felt better, and could also sleep better. If you think it will be better if your boy sleep in your room, I guess it's fine to do so. However, you do have to let him sleep in his room one day. Well, you have to get yourself prepared for that day to come in the next few years.

don't worry if you feel that way, only worry if you don't. it's nature for a mother to worry everything about her baby. why not start by sleeping with her in her room for few days, then slowly each othe day, then 1 day a week...

If your son is your first than theres your answer. Things will be fine, you need to give him time as well as yourself to adjust. My kids were in our room til only 3 mo's when they out grew the cradle & we put them in the crib. I always checked often to make sure they were doing well before I went to bed + I'd turn the volume on the monitor up really high but eventually you can hear them move / wake up on their own. It'll be ok,it'll just take time ;0)

Hello submerryn! I am the mother of a 13yr old and 17 yr old and believe me, I used to think the same way..lol.. it's just the mother in us and sometimes we can't help it because you just love your child so much but to answer your question, I do believe you are doing the right thing and as time goes by, you will feel more comfortable with him sleeping in the other room. You will get accustomed to this so please do not worry too much..Take Care! :)

i think you have to live with it, it one of the stages of kids starting an independent life and you need to learn to deal with such situations, male kids particularly adjust to their new lifestyle easier than the female toddlers, i think you should remove dangerous materials from your toddler's room and then let him adjust

Since you juz started let ur boy sleep in his own room,so u might not get used to separate room with him....try to rilex and as time pastby, either both you n ur boy will get used to it and can sleep quietly at night.

Oh, do I ever understand what you are going through! My daughter just turned 2 three months ago. I am in the process of moving to a new place because we need an extra room for her too. As I am not exactly at the stage you are at, I know exactly how you feel because I am worrying now and she is still in my room! When I put her to sleep eachnight, I return to the living room and spend some "quiet, peaceful time" with my husband. But, I don't relax well because if I hear any noise, I am running back to check on her! If I have the baby moniter on, I do the same as you, check that its working about a zillion times! I have to admit, even I know I go overboard with worrying and my husband sometimes stops me and reassures me that she is ok, but I still worry. I think it is a fear every mom has.Maybe we are just taking it to far! My husband always tells me that if my daughter was to wake up, she'll come out to us.(which she has,every time). I try to keep that in mind. The only thingI cansay is time.I have gotten a little better over time.At least I dont go in to check every fifteen minutes anymore! Good luck. Its nice to know that I am not alone. At least we know we care alot about our little ones!!

hi mummy... let's hi5 here! not to mention that your boy is sleeping in a different room, even my little baby sleeps next to me, I have the fair share of paranoid too! You are doing the right thing to let him sleep on his own, just maybe it's the mother's love that make you concern on him. Just relax ya..

Awwww lol this makes me smile! I decided to put both my daughters in their crib in their own room around 4 months, and OMG it was very hard. At that age SIDS is very common so i had the monitor about 2 inches from my ear and every little movement one of them made, I woke up and checked on them lol, and I was paranoid about the same things. Your son is much older, and I dont think that you need to worry as much, even though its so hard NOT to! You arent going wrong, its a mother's natural instinct to worry and be paranoid about their child in another room :)... Does he have a blanket or a stuffed animal to sleep with? A lot of times that seems to make them ease into their own bed and room better; my daughter has both and she has a really easy time being in there. Just try not to worry too much, Im positive everything will work out great :) Just need to be calm mom!!!
