When did you put your baby in their own room?

Hi, I'm just planning ahead, but was wondering what everyone else did. Did you have a nursery/room ready for them for when they were born or did you just put them in their own room when you felt they were ready?

6 weeks with DS1 and 3 weeks with DS2.

About 10 weeks old when she had outgrown her moses basket, but her room was "ensuite" to ours, with the door ajar, so it was just like she was in the corner of the room. Nursery was fully decorated and ready by the time I was 6 months pregnant!

13 months, as it took me 10 months to clear out his room after we moved to Scotland!

By the end of the first week for both of them. dh slept better with them out of the room and since I was the one getting up for the night feeds, was much easier to have a dim light on etc without worrying about disturbing him. Second time round, the nursery also had a spare bed in, so ended up cosleeping a lot of the time. I have never been one for leaving my babies to cry it out, and have probably been too soft with the night time feeds, but am truly glad that we had the babies out of our room from such an early age as it did mean that we were able to relax a little more in our own room. dh had to work, so why should he be disturbed if he wasn't getting up to do the feeds?

8 or 9 months. We liked having her in with us. She's nearly 2 now and still very welcome if she doesn't feel like sleeping alone.

I remember after she moved into her own room (right across the landing in our very small house, really she didn't go far) I slept dreadfully for about a fortnight. I missed her snuffles and grunting, and I was on edge in case I didn't hear her.

DD1 was about 8 months (even though we had a room ready for her from a month before she arrived). No real reason - just liked having her in the room with us and I BF so was easier for night feeds. If she was having a particularly restless night, I would move into the spare room with her.

DD2 didn't have a room ready but went in to cot in spare room at about 5 months, then back in travel cot in our room at about 7-9 months while we had building work.

Both are good sleepers (DD2, especially) now but like a cuddle in Mummy and Daddy's bed occasionally.

DD was 6 months.

DS is now 5 months and I can't wait for him to go into his own room! He's driving me insane at night.

DS was 8 months, though he was 15 months before he spendt a whole night in his own cot. DD is 13 months and sleeps with us. We like it, they liked it, we will move her when she seems ready. Hope its before she starts school....

DD was 5 months, had outgrown moses basket. Puut her in cot for day time naps for a couple of weeks before. She started sleeping through night straight away - i blame her dad and his pneumatic drill snoring for waking her in the night!!

phlossie · 03/04/2008 15:13

both were 3mo - our room was too small for a big cot and my babies got too big for the crib quickly. DD is a very noisy sleeper too, and dh snores so I think they woke each other up. I cried when we moved ds into his own room (pfb) and cheered when dd went!
