@Hannah yes just added it now. Baby is in my room currently but after he grows out the next to me a crib will not fit in here comfortably. I’m more worried for when we have our 2nd kid too
OK child 1 is all we can worry about for now, have you considered having both your bedroom and child's downstairs? The up bedroom be your lounge? The lounge space is right where you'll be working in kitchen and feeding little one so it would make the perfect playzone. When you have child 2, it may mean swapping some rooms if you intend to stay in this house, but will be worth it. At the start, can swap you go back upstairs as I think the upper bedroom is bigger and so more room for baby. As they get a little older, perhaps they can share with their sibling (depending on age gap and legalities) and you move back into the lower ground bedroom (so swap lounge and bedroom again). When toilet trained, you move child 2 into the swap room, and you guys reclaim the upper bedroom as yours and your lounge space can be a lounge again. Or permanently have children share room and you take other lower bedroom and the upper bedroom stay a lounge. Less swapping about. You don't have to worry until baby 2 comes though 😘
@Hannah thank you so much, you put my mind at ease. I will try this out 🫶🏼
You're very welcome. Just see how you go with first child and glad to have eased your worries :)
Can you share a floor plan of your home? May help others to help you visualise your space. Will baby be in your room for the first 6 months? It's what's recommended here in the UK due to risk of SIDS. As an anxious mum I would be looking into next to me cribs for your situation to ease those initial worries too.
