Any advice on when is best to put baby into the cot in their own room instead of the crib next to our bed? Our little one is 4 months old now. I know the official advice is to keep them in your room until 6 months old but she is getting big for the crib and I also worry a bit about it being harder to settle her in her own room if we wait a little longer. That said, I am not really in a hurry to move her through as she sleeps pretty soundly and I guess I'd worry if she was too far away from me at nights.
