Seconded. You need to set boundaries in order to keep a private, adult life for yourself and your partner, if you have one.

Boundaries and a private, adult life are generally incompatible with a colicy newborn who has a finely tuned pressure alarm tuned to go off the instant you put them back in the crib, no matter how gently you do it.

Most spouses are also less than keen on sexy time if they've had to drag their chronically sleep-deprived asses up a flight of stairs from the bedroom to the nursery every 45 minutes for the past three months.

It is not possible if you, well your wife, breastfeeding at night. Small babies usually don't sleep whole night without eating. I know a lot mothers that said they will never keep baby in their bed. Week after born, most of them find out, that it is much more comfortable to keep baby at bed and stay there for whole night.

A lot of people there say that sleeping is ruined. Maybe just a small change in habits helps.

Count me in in this… I was adamant “kid will sleep in his own room from day one!”… my firstborn arrived last week and the crib already moved in our bedroom XD
