At what age did you put babies in there own room?

[AlfieJacksmummy]

My ds does sleep through (mostly) apart from the odd stir when he needs repositioning but goes straight back off. Not sure I will ever wnt to put him in his own room the thought terrifies me, I dont think i'd get any sleep!
When did you put yours in their own rooms and how did you cope?

all mine months, i read it in a baby book

doh 6

12 weeks.

he was waking us up and vice versa.

he slept much better in own room then

Three years. I missed him a bit but I coped ok in the end

From birth, with both. I couldn't sleep otherwise.

Both mine went from birth.

What sophable said. To the letter!

dd1 was around 6 months, dd2 went in with dd1 at 12 months.
ds is 15 months and still with us. We have no other rooms. I would not be worried at all but our house is small so I can hear them, and I always wake when they do (despite being able to sleep through just about anything else).

I think DS was about 14 or 15 months

DD went into his room at arou nd 9 months

If you put them in their own rooms from birth or soon after, what did you do about feeding at night?

DS is 4 weeks old and has slept in his own room since day 1 as did dd. We went away to stay with my parents last night and all 4 of us had to sleep in the same room. It was the worst nights sleep dh and I had had since he was born. I guess like everything to do with bringing up children you do what is right for you and your circumstances. Our house is quite small and I hear everything

DD1 - 6 months, she dropped night feed at 12wks but she stayed in our room cos' I liked it and didn't know what I was doing.

DS1 - 8 months (reflux & eczema meant he didn't sleep properly until he was 2yo but it was better in his own room as less disturbance)

DD2 - 3 or 4 months when she dropped night feed.

Both were 18 months

DD1 was 8 mths, we lost DD2 to cot death aged 4 mths (cot in our room), therefore DS1 6 mths next Sat, in with us from day 1 and will be until his nursery is done!
((Just realised that maybe we're stalling doing his nursery due to DD2))
The FSID recommendations are to keep your baby with you for ALL sleeps, during the day and night see here

8 weeks dd went in her own room.

one year. i cried when she went from the amby hammock to the cot but it was okay when we moved the cot into her own room as i felt like the cot had already 'separated' us iykwim?

dd 10 months but it didn't take til a year.

ds last week, 9 months, but he's in with his sister not on his own

emwad. i don't know if i'd ever sleep apart from mine if i lost a baby to cot death. my sincere condolences.

Sorry to hear that Emwad. My sister lost her first child to cot death (3 months old whilst co-sleeping with her daddy). I didn't know that about daytime naps, the being in same room bit I mean. Will remember in case I do have another.

so sorry emwad

AFAIK the point of them being in the room with you is so they can hear you breathing and regulate their own breathing as opposed you noticing if they stop breathing like most people seem to think.

i've always said i'd prefer to put up with a year of less good sleep than the guilt should anything happen. the only reason ds is out now is that he's in with his sister, otherwise he'd still be in our room.

5.5 months here. And that was because we moved the cot and found mildew on the wall . We figured it was less safe for him with us than in his own room after that.

i've always wondered if a clock with a loud tick would be a good idea, following on from the 'remembering to breathe' line of thinking. i actually have one for dd's room but haven't got round to putting it up, i must do it tomorrow.

I wonder then if reversing the baby monitor would be a good idea. I can hear if DS cries anyway, but maybe I should arrange them so that he can hear us? mmm

great minds aitch... i've put one in the kids room and it does seem to keep them calm (ish) at night.
