How long did your baby stay in your room?

My dd is nearly 13 months and is still in our bedroom. She's not breastfed and sleeps OK. However I'm in no rush to move her into her own room yet. There's no real reason other than I love her being close. My ds went into his own room at a year which was fine but this time around it's strange. I think it's because we're not planning on having anymore children so maybe I'm holding onto this baby stage for just a little bit longer. Obviously not until she's 18! 😂

6 months but it was more practicality once our twins grow out of their Moses baskets, as two cot beds in our bedroom was just not an option!

At 5m. We had been co-sleeping for the last 2m and decided we needed to get her out of our bed as it wasn't sustainable long term for us. We had a choice of transitioning her into the next to me in our room she had used before the co-sleeping began but it wouldn't fit her for much longer or move straight to her own room. We decided to go with 1 big transition rather than getting her settled in her next to me only have have to move her again a month later

Ds at almost 12 months is still sleeping in my room. Planning to move him in September as his room gets too hot in summer.

DD was with us for 18 months and I only moved her out when I went back to work to make it easier to get ready in the morning.

DD was 8 months purely because she outgrew the next2me crib, although we did end up cosleeping a lot of the time and she's only recently started sleeping a full night in her own bed at 2.5.
Currently pregnant and this one will be in with us a bit longer until they are sleeping well because they will be sharing a room with DD and I don't want to disrupt her if we can help it.

About two and a half. DH was wfh in the room we kept all her stuff in.

Around 7-8 months. Our cot was massive so it was taking up all the space on my side of the bed and I had to climb over hubby to get out every morning. Became annoying esp when you're half asleep 😂
I was emotional doing it but set up a camera and baby monitor so I could check on baby.

A couple of months of three years , never understood the rush to move them out.

Rainbowbaby13 · 31/07/2022 23:57

I don't think it matters as long as you're both happy with the setup. My DS is 14 months and still in our room and I have no plans to move him anytime soon

DinosaursEatMan · 31/07/2022 23:57

Around four years for all of the dcs. They had their own rooms but preferred ours.

Ds1 mixed out around 8 months...

Ds2 was 3.5 before he moved out of the cit next to me and into the bottom bunk bed.. absolutely babied...

Mammyloveswine · 01/08/2022 00:02

I should add ds2 would've moved a year earlier but the spare room was suddenly a home office (covid) and ds2 woke too much to share with ds1 then..

pimlicoanna · 01/08/2022 00:02

3 yrs for both of them., we were all happy with it

RockinHorseShit · 01/08/2022 00:04

14 months & the cheeky mare then told us her new room was better than our noise. Confused

hellotheirsugar · 01/08/2022 00:06

8/9 weeks with number 3.... I quickly learnt that my oldest 2 with additional needs disturbed my youngest to much during the night as the youngest slept brilliantly compared so was best in their own room sooner so they could sleep
I literally only did this due to practicality!! Older 2, before we knew their was any issues was about 9 months when they slept through as we disrupted them getting up for work etc ans no one likes a cranky child !!

6 months and he got yeeted to his own room. We wanted our space back!

EvenLess07 · 01/08/2022 10:05

About 2 years and 3 months, when I felt we were keeping each other awake more than enjoying the benefits of being close. I worried she would hate being on her own but she loved it, didn't even protest the first night. She was ready!

TinaMummy · 01/08/2022 10:27

8 weeks! He slept so much better being in his own room and so did we.
