How early did you move your baby into their own room?

[CanNeverDecide]

And did you worry about SIDS if you did it very early or at least before 6 months?

My 23 month old dd is still in my room. She has her own bed, but I like having her close to me.

Thanks RitaMorgan. I know it's important and took the advice but wasn't sure why it helps.

12 months and then used a breathing monitor.
Any risk is a risk not worth taking in my opinion.

Our DD on the other hand was still in a cot in our room (no space and no money to move) until 2.5!

DD and DS 3 months - I could never sleep properly with either of them in the same room as me, and I woke them up when I fidgetted!!

DD1 6 weeks, DD2 3 weeks, DS 8 months (he was born at 28 weeks and did have sleep apnea (sp) so the hospital gave me an alarm) and DD3 3 months. DDs all went as soon as they slept through.

I know breathing monitors do not prevent SIDS but they gave me peace of mind.

The risk I'm referring to is the risk of my ds stopping breathing.
I think it stems from him being prem (26 weeks) and he stopped breathing a few times.
I was convinced when I brought him home that tonight would be the night he stopped breathing.
I felt like that for a long time, would go to bed with a knot in my stomach thinking maybe it will be tonight.
It was only when I got the breathing monitor that I relaxed a bit.

It doesn't affect other aspects of my life.

Yes he's great now, I am generally a very laid back person but I guess being told your son is unlikely to make it changes how you are with him (for a while anyway)

I felt a bit like that when I was pregnant aswell, a bit of - it's all too good to be true -!
Oh well it just makes me cherish every second now

DS1 was in our room until he was almost 4 (though in his own bed in our room from 3 years old ) and DS, who is 2, is still co-sleeping in our bed. Sleeping near them just feels like the right thing to do.

Our son is just over a week old now - I don't think we'll be moving him into his own room anytime before six months. It's all ready and waiting for him though.

3 years and he still comes in every night. It's lovely to wake up and have 4 in the bed. It's my favourite time of the day.

Realised I never answered. Acquired 2 part-grown , youngest 10 and 6 months.

8 weeks. I had massive problems switching off and actually sleeping with her in the room, even with ear plugs. It made a massive difference to my sanity and DD started sleeping through the night within days and I'm not surprised - her cot looked soooo much more comfortable than the moses basket's thin mattress.

My DS is about to move, he's now 11 months.

All 3 went into their own room from day 1 and I didn't worry about SIDS. It crossed my mind from time to time like it would any mother with a baby but that was usually when they were napping and not at night.

When I lived in Japan they thought that it was extremely cruel to leave a baby to sleep in a different room.

At 11 months I feel like my son is perfectly happy sleeping in another room as long as we get to him quickly when he wakes and he never has to become anxious that we are not around for him. I don't think I could have done it much earlier though.

9 months old. I did not plan it this way, but due to building works/renovation, the baby's room wasn't painted/recarpeted/fitted with blackout blinds until then. I had plans to move him into his own room at six months, and by the time he was 9 months old I was going bonkers with sleep exhaustion! It was really hard at first, but he got the hang of it within a month. I'm not sure who it was harder for - him or me. I kept waking up with exploding breasts and expressing, because my partner took over night duty....

I moved DD at 5mths having let her fall off our bed due to sheer exhaustion - I was jolting awake for every snuffle and we all slept far better once she moved.

6 weeks. he was rolling over so couldn't keep him in his moses basket, and i was told not to co-bed.

5 months for DS...his rooms is upstairs to my bedroom so was terrified...however...best thing I did, he's sleeping loads better. I think I was keeping him awake.

I do worry about SIDS, but they have to move at some point don't they? Also I had kicked out my DH from the bedroom because he snored and woke DS. He has getting restless to get back into the bedroom so DS had to go...!!

DS1 - six weeks
DS2 - three weeks

I personally couldn't sleep through all the grunting and like some other posters I found once in their own room we got into a more regular three/four feed pattern as I wasn't mistaking their grunting for waking for milk.
