When did your DC sleep in their own room?

[Lunalula]

My ds was 2 and a half before he went into his own room, because we lived in a 1bedroom flat so once we moved to a 2bed he had his own room.
My dd is 11m and still sleeps in bedroom with us.
However when we move she will be going into bottom bunk of bunkbed (ds will be on top bunk)

My dp is set on all 4 of us sharing a bedroom and having other bedroom as a dressing room for all our clothes and bedding ect.
I understand his worry with ds on top bunk as it will be safer if we was closer to him for falls or if he wanted to get down during night.
He wants this to be until dd is 3 or 4.
I think this is too old. I have agree to have us all in 1bed and a dressing room in other bedroom but I told him "when dd is 2 then they can have their own toon then"
His reply is always "no that's too early she will still be a baby"
I do not want to share a bedroom with my DC all the time!!

My DD was in her own room from 6 months. I don't let her ever sleep in our bed, we do family cuddles on a Sunday morning but otherwise she's in her own bed in her own room.

Could you not get a toddler bed or a normal single bed instead of bunk beds?

Personally I think it's important to have your own space. Xx

At 2, but they are 6 and 3 now and welcome to come to our bed in the night if they have nightmares or are scared. There's no right or wrong on this though imho, you have to do what works for you & will likely get a lot of different answers!

DS1 moved into his own room at about 26 months.

About a year but they rarely stayed in bed to be honest, until about, embarrassingly, 6. We didn't get bunk beds until the youngest was 3.5 and the eldest was 5.5, before they had a divan and a (little used) toddler bed

4 months, as soon as she started to sleep through night.

If you are scared of bunkbeds, would the bed with a slider bed work? ( Smth like that theoakbedstore.co.uk/products/chelsea-solid-oak-guest-bed-3ft-single?variant=22470524164&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8PKTutXR3gIVC-h3Ch1JMAALEAQYASABEgIADvD_BwE )

I would hate to share my bedroom with my dc. I love her to pieces, but I cannot fall asleep if she is next to me, as I keep checking her breathing (she is over 2 now). Also I would think it would be a killer for my relationship. Need my own space to think and re-charge or I am changing into a hag

Dd 9 yrs
Ds 7 yrs not out...

We bought the bunk bed already, not gonna go buy other bed if this one is fairly new.
Its not about about dd falling out of bottom, we buying a rail. And ds on top mainly when he call out in on ght to get down or go toilet.
Tbf when I was 6/or 7 I fell off NY bunk bed top bunk where the ladder goes, head first (whilst asleep) gav myself concussion. Woke up had no idea where I was ect

Ds1- 6 months. Ds2- 3 weeks. Ds3- 5 years.

So long as everyone is safe and everyone is happy it's really up to you.
I do think it's a bit odd to decide everyone will sleep together for the next x number of years, and to move ds back in with you if he's already settled on his own.
But at the end of the day do whatever makes you happy.

DS1 - 6m old.
DS2 - 3 years old. About 5.5 yrs old before he'd reliably sleep all night in his own bed without sneaking into mine.

DS2 did manage to sleep all night in a mid height loft bed from around 18m old, when he was at his Dad's house. It was the only way to fit everyone in and he never had any probs falling out or slipping on the angled ladder, though he was always helped up and down.

By an angled ladder I mean it came out into the room at an angle, rather than being a sheer vertical ladder like many bunk beds have.

@anonymumtum I am intrigued... Why?

DS moved to his own room for naps and nighttime sleep at 4.5 months. We moved house so I took the opportunity to settle him in his new room. He still has the odd night with teething where he sleeps in with me and will always be welcome in my bed if he needs it.

Both dc's went into their own rooms at 6 months and neither have actually slept in our bed since (been in for a cuddle when they wake up in the night etc). I can't imagine actually choosing to sleep in the same room as small children, except babies under 6 months for safety reasons.

It does seem strange to move ds back in with you when he's already settled in his own room, like taking a step back. Personally I'd put DD in before 2 with a rail but I understand why some wouldn't, but 3 or 4 is too old IMO.

At 10 months. I would have had her in much longer but we were keeping her awake (dp snoring etc). She slept so much better from then on.
