transferring baby to own room - advice?

hello,
baby is 24 weeks and starting to think about transferring to own room, baby has not got a lot of room anymore in the next to me and I am beginning to wonder if we are disturbing babys sleep with our turning in the night, coughs, sneezes etc. i've also heard anecdotally that babies can sleep better in their own room and anything that gets us all more sleep would be amazing!
so as not to drip feed:

  • baby is breast fed
  • goes to bed between 7pm and 8pm, usually 7:30, wakes 2 times for a feed, can be difficult to get him to sleep on his own past 4am
  • has a dummy
  • is either fed or rocked to sleep
  • has never slept in own room but has spent a lot of time in there and spent time playing in his cot so hes used to the environment

any advice? did overall sleep get better/worse on moving? glad you did it? regretted it?

We all slept better. My advice: don't over think it. Just do it!

I moved my LO around 22 weeks. We were waking them up, definitely. We started with morning cot naps in their own room for two weeks before the night move. We would have waited to six months, but LO got too long for the Snuz and was rolling about.

At that point LO was on one breastfeed a night. My partner settled wakes before 2am, then I would feed lying on the bed, then put baby back in cot and settle. First feed of the day any time after 5.30am (at which point LO would be very hard to settle!).

My first (nightmare sleeper) instantly improved and started sleeping through maybe half the time. Youngest (much more settled but up once a night at that age) didn't really change.

We moved them into the cot first I think and then overnight. Good luck! Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones.

Well night one went terribly 😂
woke every 2 hours and would only feed to sleep.
we put his next to me in the room so his sleep set up was the same as usual, just a different room
