Moving baby into own room

[Hunnybunn72]

Hello my daughter is 4.5 months old and I am going back to work end of July so she will be in nursery. When is best time to move her into her own room?

about a year from now.

Make a lovely room, she will remove herself when she decide you are too hot, sweaty, restless and irritating to bother with.

We're in a similar position. We're going to wait till six months as per the safe sleeping guidelines - but then I don't want to move ds into his own room, start weaning and go back to work all at once so I expect we'll be bunking in together till around the seven or eight month mark and then introducing him to his own room gradually. He's not a noisy sleeper though; I know loads of people move them earlier just so everyone can get a night's sleep.

We moved DD last weekend; she's 15 months and I feel it was the right time.

She adapted really well and is happy to spend time there.

we did it at nearly 8 months, worked great

Controversial but I moved DS out at 6 weeks old. And yes I was aware of the SIDS advice. Just saying. You can decide when to move your baby into his/her own room. Guidelines are guidelines. It is not mandatory that you follow them.

We moved our DS into his room at eight months. I do think it's best to wait beyond the 6 month mark for SIDS related reasons if possible, but do what works best for you and your family. :)

Thanks everyone, I'm going for 8 months x

I would delay it until after you have gone back to work so that the 'upheavals' can be staggered.

To suddenly not see mummy for part of the day plus not having the reassurance that she is there at night all in one go is a bit stressful for a baby. I think 8 months seems right if it doesnt coincide with returning to work.
