Moving home, 15mo straight into own room or gradual transition?

[TheLaineyWayIsEssex]

Hello,

We are moving home in 2 weeks with 15mo DS.
At the moment he is in our room in his cot. We want to move him to his own room, but unsure whether a new house and new room will be too much all at once.
What do you think will be the best way to do it?

1. move, keep him in with us for a few weeks to get used to new surroundings?
2. move straight into own bedroom on day 1 Your thoughts/experiences much appreciated

Shameless bump

I'd personally go for option 1, as I imagine he may need lots of reassurance after a big transition like that. I don't think either way is 'best', just go with what you are most comfortable with. Or you could try option 2 and see if it works, then if it doesn't, go for option 1 for a couple weeks.

Thanks. That what I thought, but DP thinks we should do option 2.
I don't fancy having to get up and go to a different room several times a night if he is unsettled.
Perhaps like you suggested, I might put him in his own room on the first night and see how he gets on, but move him back in with us for a couple of weeks if he doesn't cope.

We moved when DD was the same age, and she went straight into her own room.

However, and this is the key thing, she was in her own room before we moved out of our flat. We spent 3 months staying with family and she shared our room. She slept for 3 hours at a time, every night for the 3 months. She was better off in her own room.

It will probably take a few weeks for him to settle anyway. Personally, I wouldn't want my DD to settle into one new room, only to have to do it again when we put her in her own room anyway. Better just settle into the room she would be in for the long term. They're both new rooms. But that's my preference. You have to do what you feel most comfortable with.
