When do you put a baby in it's own bedroom?

[shinyshilling]

When do you put a baby in it's own bedroom? Our daughter will be four months on Thursday. She's a great sleeper - goes down at 6.30 and wakes 12 hours later without any breaks. She has on a few occasions made this sort of funny noise as if she was choking. Not sure what it is - maybe some saliva just rolls to the back of her throat. It sounds a bit worrying, but she doesn't even wake up and just rights herself. Any ideas what this might be? For this reason we have refrained from putting her in her own room, but sometimes she wakes at 5:30am and DH could do with the extra hours sleep. Is it too early or unadvisable to put her into her own room yet?

SIDS advice is that baby should sleep in a cot in parents' room for the first six months.

DD1 15 months, co slept for 9 months, then due to house moving saga she was in with us until her own room was ready.

DD2 still with us at 13 weeks, starts night in bedside cot then comes in with us for a feed and I'm too lazy to move her back across. She will be in our room until I finish BFing far too lazy to get out of bed!

God OzJo, I have never seen someone say the first day !
I am impressed with your honesty.

We had ds in his own room , in his own cot after two nights.
You wouldn't believe the snuffling, moving, wheezing, noises, and SNORING - yes, I really do mean snoring that went on - and that's from Dh

No, seriously,we did move him very soon, because dh and I didn't sleep a wink - where as ds was sleeping through this whole orchestra !

I am not advising this to anyone else - I am just saying that we did it.

Sorry Kayzed - didn't mean to miss you out.

[Oblomov]

And alp - sorry guys.
Am always too embarrased to admit how early we put ds in his own bedroom - feel like a bad mummy.
But I know it was best for all of us.

dd was 6 days old when she went in her own room, she slept through from day 1 and i never slept well with her in our room as i heard everytime she rolled over and shes a fidget!!

it was what was best for us, she always had a monitor and still does at 18month but then shes downstairs and we'r upstairs so theres a need for that!

do what you feel comfortable with!

DD we put in her own room after the first night! DS lasted about 6 weeks.

i think a lot of you people must have the patience of a saint to share for 6 month +!!

With my first I followed the reccommendation of 6mths.
With my second I kept her in to 4mths as she was a bad sleeper who would wake at the slightest noise.She slept so much better when she was in her own room.
With my third I put her in her own room almost from the start.I think she was around 3 weeks when she was put to sleep in her own room consistently.I just found everyone slept better like that.Obviously I kept the baby monitor on all night and I checked on them before I went to bed and if I got up in the night.
