Advice on moving baby into own room

[Elli19]

Hi I have a 5 and half month old baby and I was thinking about moving him into his own room soon. However, currently he is in a next to me and does occasionally wake in the night but will go back off to sleep if you stroke his head for a minute or shh him.
I'm wanting to move him because I feel like me and my partner wake him up sometimes when we are moving in sleep.
Last night I moved the next to me to the other side of our bedroom with the side up in hope he would sleep through but I was so so wrong. From 2am he was wide awake shuffling about so I left him and then he started hysterically crying so I had to pick him up and nurse him back to sleep.

I was just wondering whether anyone had any advice or similar experiences. Am I trying to move him too early or will it be best to go straight for his own room?

U could try and it see how it goes, and if he isnt ready bring him back in with you

As pp said, give it a try. It's quite a big jump from a co sleeper beside you to a room on her own tho, you might want an intermediate stage!

I would first try keeping the next to me right beside your bed, but put the side up. See how that goes. LO might need to get used to the side being up if you've had it down until now.

Yes, try side up.

Do you have room I. Your bedroom to move the got away from your bed? As a half way house?

Hi last night I tried to put the side up and move him away from the bed he was still in our room and he screamed and cried. I think I'm going to keep in in there for a couple more weeks then try his own room then

Maybe tiny little stages? Like, side up but still next to the bed, then side up and away from the bed. Then try into his own room but still in the next to me.

Have u tried doing his daytime naps in there?

Maybe put the side up but keep it right next to you before u move him away at night

Thank you everyone I have move him back to the bedside with the side up. Hes a bit more settled now. I will try little steps at a time
