When did you...

Put your baby into their own room? I know the advice is 6 months but I was curious as to when people decided to put babies into their own room &/or if they followed the 6 month advice. Thank you.

About 8 months. Had DD in a cosleeper crib till about 6 months, then bought a compact cot for beside our bed as we had intended keeping her in our room till 12 months. However, after DD was about 6/7 months she started to become much more aware of us in the room and I thought it was disturbing her sleep. Reluctantly moved her to her own room, but she has always slept really well in there. We use a baby monitor and keep both bedroom doors ajar.

15 months old and no-where near moving him out...

10 weeks for ds1 but he was 6ft away in a pre fab house I could still hear him without a monitor this was because we woke each other up and he had out grown his crib. Ds2 we are in a different house with thick walls and a room between bedrooms so older but possibly under 6 months if he sleeps though by then maybe older if hes not sleeping all night as he will wake ds1

Guidance was 6 months, so within a couple of weeks of him turning 6 months. This was mostly because DH couldn't sleep through DS's snuffles and doesn't do well with broken sleep, so he spent the majority of the 6 months in the spare room while I got our superking to myself and wanted to sleep in his own bed with his wife!

DS slept much better in his own room, so it was a win-win situation except for me as I then had to share!
