When did you move your baby into their room?

My partner works long hours. He sleeps in our bed. I sleep in spare room with 9 week old. I'm so eager to get back into my bed and put her in her room, but yet so worried to do so.

2 weeks with DC1.

The day we arrived home from the hospital with the other 3.

A lot of people say they should be with your for 6 months, but that didn't work for us.

Just shy of 10 months. Unlikely you'll get many recommending under 6 months due to SIDS advice as the baby should hear you breath when sleeping in order to help regulate its own breathing.

14 months with DD1 because we moved house then, and before that didn't have the space to have her in her own room.

Not yet with DD2, she's 6 months.

12 weeks. I spent hours researching online, while feeding the baby, and when I eventually found some figures I was comfortable with the level of risk.

We waited until 6 months. I would start by looking at the lullaby trust website, they have a page with their evidence base so you can find the studies on safer sleep and make your own informed choice. I wouldn't listen to anecdotal evidence personally.

8 months for both of them. Didn't want to move them before 6 months as per SIDS guidelines

14 months for DD, we bed shared until then and then she wait straight into her cot in her room.

It just seemed 'time'

When they were no longer babies! We co slept, two double mattresses on the floor. Fantastic for feeding, couldn't have coped with getting to in the night.

7 months. Is there any reason why you can't all share a room?

16 months. Only because we wanted to move him from his cot to a toddler bed, and couldn't really have him in a bed in our room (too much to get his hands on). So we felt it best to move him in his cot first, then move him into his bed. So he got used to his room in his cot.
I didn't want to. Not at all. He'd still be with us now if I had my way.

Dd1 3 years as we had one bed flat, dd2 is 20 months and still in our bed even though we now have a 3 bed house Grin

Personally I'd not move until 6 months but that's me, my friend moved her baby at 6 weeks and another friend from day 1, I'd not feel comfortable from that early but your the mum so it's ultimately your choice.

When they'd outgrown their crib and needed to go into a bigger cot. That was sometime around 7 months IIRC with DC1&2.

DC3 is 6.5 months and still sleeping in the crib in our bedroom. He generally causes less disruption to our sleep than DC1 and DC2 (5yrs and 3yrs) do at the minute.

12 weeks here.

Agree it makes sense to do your own research.

Lullaby trust summary page is factually correct but it only shows headline (aggregated) stats. In reality, risks of not having the baby in a room with you differ depending on whether you have other risk factors present (e.g. if the baby has been born prematurely or if your LO happens to sleep on the tummy). I ended up reading actual reports and was comfortable I was not taking unnecesary excessive risks.
