When did you move baby out of your room?

[whyno]

Just that really. I know the guidelines and I know a few friends who moved theirs much much earlier. Wondering how common it is? Am tempted to move DD to the next door room once her head control is decent rather than wait the full 6 months as its having a very negative affect on my DS having her in with us.

What did you do?

[JackReacher]

Just over 7months - would have been 6 but we were away on holiday so decided to make the move one night after we got home.
Baby didn't / doesn't mind one bit!
Took me a few days to adjust though !!

[Nocturne123]

10 weeks , she started banging her arms and legs off the sides of her Moses basket and we thought she'd be more comfortable in her cot

[BigDomsWife]

DD was 6 months. DS was 10 weeks.

[happypotamus]

8 months.
The nursery wasn't decorated until then despite DH promising it would be ready before she was born. Eventually I pointed out that when I went back to work the alarm would go off at 6am, waking her if she was still in our room and then she would be his responsibility. He didn't want to be getting up at 6am with her when she would otherwise sleep for another hour or 2 so he finally finished it.

At 2 weeks old; we all slept much better! No regrets and plan to do the same with next baby.

[ThoughtsPlease]

All 3 DC have been in a cot in their own rooms from the start.

[miffybun73]

12 weeks for each (when they outgrew the Moses Basket)

Almost everyone I know moved them into their own room when they outgrew the basket.

They both slept much better as soon as they went to their own room.

Ds is still in with me and hes 2.5. This was purely because he still wakes up all through the night and can open any friggin stairgate we have tried to put on his doorway. So safer until he starts to sleep properly to stay put was my thinking.

7 weeks With hindsight it seems so early, but at the time it seemed the right decision.

There are strong decisions all ways on this topic, all you can do is read the guidance and make your own informed decision.

DD is still in with us and she'll be 2 next week

[mumofboyo]

Ds was about 7 weeks, he was too big for the Moses basket (and did a humongous poo all over it so had no choice but to move him out of it) and our room at the time was too small for his cot as well as our bed.

Dd was nearly 5vmo. She was smaller than ds so stayed in the basket longer, and we'd moved by then so our room was more than big enough for the cot. Her room wasn't decorated (no carpet, no paint, no curtains) so was unusable. When she was moved, it was a relief because we kept disturbing her every time we went to bed, to the loo or even rolled over. She slept much better in her own room.

Co-sleeping was a no-no for lots of reasons.

Twins still bed sharing at 7 months, nice to be close and I don't need to get out of bed to feed them so get a bit more sleep!

[thebirdsandbees]

18 months for dc1 & still co-sleeping with 16 mo dc2. I love having my babies close to me.

[Mumof3xx]

6 months for dc 1&2 3 months for dc3

Less for dc3 due to us not having space for cot in bedroom which we did have before (different house)

[TheFallenNinja]

6 weeks.

[RNJ3007]

6.5 months with DD.

I think DS may take longer, but he's only 2 weeks old, so I'm not thinking too much about it.

[Iamanorangesmartie]

Dds 7 days, dd2 6 days

[ThursdayLast]

14 weeks, due largely in part to the heat wave (nursery marginally cooler) and DS growing out of Moses basket (big bugger)!
Loved having my own space back, but it obviously helped that he slept through by then. No way I would be so keen if I had to get up and get him all night long!

[jimijack]

7 months

[roweeena]

1 night and then DS was moved into the nursery with me on a campbed in there for 8 weeks.

We couldn't keep the cat out of our bedroom (small London flat with cat flap into the bedroom) so I didn't get a wink of sleep that first night.

Now pregnant again and in a house so not sure when this one will be moved - I think it's unlikely we will do the whole 6 months though.

[pingulingo]

DS1 - about 5 months

DD1 - 11 months and her cot is still in our room. She's a great sleeper but DS1 isn't so I can't let them share a room yet. Im hoping to have her moved within the next 6 months though. Probably once DS1 is talking properly.

[brightonbythesea]

As soon as my DD slept through the night consistently, so about 3.5 months. I found it hard to keep her in this long though for all the rustling and funny noises she made!

[Sizzlesthedog]

7 months. Far too long. We all slept better afterwards. Should have done it months before. Only thing that prompted it at 7 months was my appointment with Millpond and I didn't want to admit to still room sharing.

[Gooseysgirl]

DD went straight to her own room, I slept in with her for three months. DC2 is coming in Dec and we are in 2 bed flat so it will be musical beds for awhile... DH in DD's room and me with DC2 until we reach a point where we think they can share. For those who want to follow the guidelines it's not always possible due to lack of space!

[RoadToTuapeka]

DS1 at 5 1/2 months, DS2 at 7 months. We waited longer for the second one of necessity as were living with relatives from when he was 3 months and had to share a room with him til we found our own place.
