Opinions please, babys sleeping arrangement
Tonight a parent questioned baby's sleeping arrangement, as baby sleeps much less for me than at home. The set up is a travel cot in the lounge area (I have a separate playroom) I close the curtains and have the door slightly ajar for easy checking. Mum was concerned that the mattress may not be comfortable enough and asked if I had something softer I could put in! I felt a bit put out by this as I don't really know what she expected. I explained that she may be more disturbed by the noise of the other children than the quietness of home. I do tell the other children to use inside voices and to be generally a little quieter when baby's are sleeping but I don't expect them to whisper or tiptoe. She has asked if we could trial upstairs for sleeping and I'm unsure how I feel about this as I haven't registered upstairs as I wanted to keep part of my home private. I think she may sleep better when school starts back as in the day I will only have 2 children. I'm just interested in how others would handle this.
